Filter for a 55 gallon?

[fishaddict]

I need a filter for a 55 gallon i think. The tank is 4 feet long, 2.5 high and 1 foot wide. I currently have an eheim 2013 running on it but i want something a little more powerful i think, something to move the water and suck up more junk. I have
2 gold gouramis
1 blue gourami
6 tiger barbs (pretty small)
1 Rosy Barb
5 assorted danios
1 Giant Danio
1 irridescent shark (about ll inches)
1 Convict Cichlid
3 Swordtails ( 2 male one female) i realize it may be better with 2 females unfortunately one other female starved herself it seems
2 or 3 stalks of Giant Hygros and Anacharis i think. I dont use any ferts or co2 as much as id like to i cant figure out anything. I just use like 2-3 cm gravel.

I can pretty much get any eheim i think. Also i was thinking about a fluval or some sort of magnum. I have a 330 but the motors shot. I can,t really decide because they all seem to work so well.

your right they all work well

if you want a canister get an eheim or a fluval, if you want a HOB than i would recommend an emperor. They are all good just pick the one you want.

Your just asking for an endless debate. everyone is going to have there favorite, and your gonna have to figure out for yourself what is best for you. No matter, what it seems impossible for you to make a bad decision.

Emperor are fine. I also reccommend the Aquaclear line. They are excellent filters and are a resonable price. I have Aquaclears on all my tanks with no problems.
