    Hi I have a 55g saltwater I'm getting ready to start and I have a question about filters. I'm looking at a hang on back filter by Marineland. Either an Emperor Bio-wheel powerfilter or a Penguin Bio wheel. I wasn't sure if I should get just one filter for 80 gallons or bigger or two that are for 50 gallons each? Any help I could get would be great, thanks

    Not quite sure to be honest. Most will recommend skipping the power filters and just buy a skimmer. I would be one of them.

    What kind of a setup are you going for? Just fish?

    Welcome to 3Reef BTW!

    It's going to be a fish only with live rock.
