I just set up an AGA 5.5. Here is a list of my equipment. I have a 20'' 28w aqualight with a 50/50 bulb. For filtration and my only source of current will be a AC 30. I have established sand from my 37 as well as the water. For a heater I have a 75w visitherm that I had laying around. My questions are do you think the filter will provide enough current, or will it be too much? Also, is the wattage of the heater too much? Any input will be appreciated.

i had 2 AC 50's on my 5.5 along with a koralia nano, there wasn't too much flow even with all of that

i love having extreme flow, haha

I actually went with the AC20 because this will primarily be a mushroom/ polyp tank and I was thinking about getting a pair of seahorses. I was surprised at the flow of the 20. Its rated at 100 gph.
