Hello. Would this be too much for a 55 gallon tiger oscar tank?? I have a sunsun 525gph canister but all the wastes sets on the other end of the tank.

Depends. Is your oscar at least 6", has places to escape current? Personally I'd only use the pump during the day and off at night.

This pump is no joke - it produces a strong current in my 75gal tank. Might be a little overpowered for a 55.

No, it'd be fine. A 55 for a single Oscar is a good tank. He'll get to be 10" if you feed goldfish. These "blowers" I call them move a lot if water because they suck from the sides and blow outlet the front. Put one in the lower rear corner opposite your filter intake, blowing back across the front of the tank. It'll help keep the crap ( and Oscars crap like small dogs) from acumulating. Good luck. You won't be disappointed with these things. I have two in my 110 tall tank.

About 8 foot or soI have a very tall tank and used 5and gallon buckets..had room to move to several buckets.I now use a different method. A 1200good gph pump with U shaped pvc, hang over the edge of tank with hose fitting on pvc. Pump continually for a few min. BTW i have a 220list gal.tank

Yes, very easly, my container is 65 gal and there is plenty to spare. I've been 100% happy!

We ended up buying a complete tank that fit on our cooler with no problem. Did discover that removing the drip dome cover and it would fit in our old tank. Sunbeam cooler.

I have 3 tanks and find it best to have one on each side for my larger tanks 155 and 265. I have only one on my 55 gallon. I would go with one large on one side and see how that does, it wont hurt to add a smaller one one the right side if needed.

You might be able to use it. That size turtle is a little big for that size tank. I use two of these filters both in the corners and it works fine. You could try one and see how it goes. If needed, get the second one. Personally, I don't change the filters as often as they recommend and I've been using this system for probably at least 6 years.

I don't think this size will fit a 55 gallon tank you may need to get two or one that fits a 55 gallon tank. It barley fits my 29 gallon tank it it wasn't for my filter it would probably fall into my tank.

Umm... 55 gallons of water is over 440 pounds and that does not even include the tank. I think if you try to imagine two or three grown adults standing on this table (or any table) you will get your answer. I think you need something with steel legs or at least really sturdy hardwood (like solid oak, cherry, etc.). Take a look at stands designed specifically for aquarium tanks, see what they are made of, and go from there. Good luck!

I think this would be way too big and strong for a small tank. You're better off with a siphon type vacuum like the Aqueon mini siphon vacuum but you may want the medium size one. I use the mini one in my 5 gallon.

The "float 125" on this ad indicates that it is good for up to 125 gallon size tanks. I think this is the one that I got for my 75 gal.

This tank is specifically made to fit PetCo tanks. And I LOVE MY STAND! A 55 gallon is a hard fit. I searched and searched and got this one. If it doesn't fit exactly you can go to OSH or Home Depot and get a sturdy pressboard used for shelving units. That's what I did and it looks great and works extremely well! Hope that helps!

Just to kinda help you out. I have a 75 gallon aquarium. I also have a fluval 406 canister filter. I use 2 350ml of purigen and it last for 6-7 months. It's not specific to gallons. It's based on how cloudy/discolored/dirty your tank is. 2 bags of 100ml would last me maybe 2 months.

i think 2 of hydor koralia 1500 is too much on the 55 gallon tank. i have a smallest one(550-600gph) on my 35 tank(fresh water), and the size(not power level) a kind of big on the tank, it will bother your view for the tank. i feeling too much stuff on my simple iwagumi tank.other thing is 2 of 1500 maybe too strong to running the water to messed up your plant or decorations. if you want to get 2 of those on it , small one is good enough .

I would always go larger than what I need. I have a 55 gallon with big oscars and I bought the xpl rated for 175 gallons. A bigger filter allows more water fitter action per minute and turtles are pretty dirty. My son has 4 turtles in a 45 gallon with a filtration platform plus a xp filter 4.

NOOOO! The metal on this rack is very thin and the top shelf has ribbons of metal going across. It would likely tip over the entire rack. You def want to find something much sturdier for a 55 gallon fish tank. I dont think that it would even hold a 5 gallon tank! We have two plants on top of it now, and I have it bolted to the wall so it doesnt tip.

Casey is correct....this is way to small. It will be okay temporarily, but you will have to get a bigger tank and a better filtration system. It's cheaper/better to just start out with a bigger tank. Even the 15g-20g suggestion will be too small at some point. Here's a link to a really good care sheet: http://www.austinsturtlepage.com/Care/housing.htmAt one point I had 7 turtles and they are great animals, but they do require a lot of work that pet stores don't tell you.

JP, if the dimensions of the top of the tank are 20 by 18 then you should have no problem. I have a column tank that is 47 gallons but those were the dimensions for the top of it and fits perfect! Good luck and hope it works for you!
