will this be good for a 55? i think it'll be mega overkill but good in the longrun, plus the price on this site is unbelievable.

If it sounds to good to be true it probably is!

fluvals are not bad filters - i have one myself. The downside is the mandatory frequent cleanings that they require. Failure to do so will result in a nitrate factory. You are much better off using liverock, a sump, a refugium with or without a deep sand bed......there are many better options than a cannister filter

I would agree with the billdogg.
