Sounds fine to me -- the only thing is that 320 Gallons per hour is a
little light. We recommend 330 for a 55 gallon, so you may want to
double up on your filtration. (But keep in mind, I keep Oscars, the
messiest tropical known to man --)

I forgot to mention that the ug filter has a 200 gph (Ithink ) power
head
15-20% water changes every 2 weeks or so. the ug is only on 1/3 of the
tank and I clean gravel evry water change.
Thanks for your input :)
