ive got a 55gal tank FOWLR

no plans to keep any coral

what would i need that would be cheapish? i was thinking 2 koralia #2's. would that be enough?

I have a 75 gallon corner flow with a 150 GPH powerhead in the other corner and it does a good job moving the water.

in my opinion that should be good enough, you want enough water movement in your tank so you don’t have any stagnant spots and detritus does not build up on the substrate

Should be fine, but as LC points out try to make sure that detritus doesnt settle anywhere, and if it does make it a point to siphon it out.
