Would 2-4 of these be recommended for a 55 gal aquarium...or some else?

Umm no. If you have a 55 you should buy a Aquaclear 110. It is rated for a 110 gallon aquarium. The rule of thum is to use a hang on back filter rated for 2 times the size of your tank.

Depends on how you have the tank planted as well as the bioload. You could go with no bio filtering with enough plants. Sorry I can't give a more definite answer.

They would be fine as a supplemental filter system, but these would be nowhere near powerful enough to be the main filtration for a tank that size.

These are used in 55 gallon breeder tanks all the time, so yes. Two will work just fine. Be sure you also have a water pump going to help prevent dead spots in the water.

No, they're really not designed for that. You'd be much better off with a hang over the back type or external filter rated for 55 gallons.

I am running mine on a 120 Gal. tank which is also fully planted with no problem. 2 350's on a 75 Gal. would be an overkill in my opinion.

I would say the 700 or the 1200. The 700 is good for up to 65 gallons, so that would hopefully be enough for the turtle. I hear they are pretty messy though, so it wouldn't hurt to go with the 1200 which is good for up to 150 gallons. It seems like a lot, but you cant really have too much filtration. It would require less maintenance, keep the water crystal clear, and allow for you to use it for a larger aquarium if you decided to upgrade. It's totally up to you with your future plans and how much money you have at the moment.

We have one on our 55 gal. tank which is 48L x 12W x 20H. I would recommend you use two for enough light for your tank. One is adequate for our tank and much brighter than the flourescent fixture we had previously.

Hi I bought these to use in 55 gallon so that I had plenty of length so it would not fall down inside. they work fine

Get the 50W version. My tank is 5 gal and I was recommended 50W's and it works perfectly :)

If your 55gal is 48", like most are, it will work. You will need 2 of them.

I have mine on my aqueon 55 gallon. It works great so for me so far. Just make sure you get the 48-60 that way it lights your tank from end to end.

Just get one and try it out. I believe the tank will be more than good enough for your tank.

Yes, I use it in my 55 gallon snake cage. I bought two of them and have each hooked up to a 100 gallon capacity tank pump. Make sure to cover up as much of the tank so that this is the only source of inflow and leave two outlets to vent the air. That is what has given me the best results.

I only have a 29 gallon and my tank is loving the lights. My personal opinion is that it would be better to run two with a 60 gallon. Current is great though. You will love it!

I used two for a 200 gallon aquaponics tank, with a timing of 5 minutes on 5 minutes off. They put out a lot of volume. I would think one would be enough for an emergency.

I am using that model on a 55 gallon along with a fluval fx5 under the tank which is supreme overkill but it works great. I like this filter because it is easy to remove and replace media and is better constructed than most and is quiet as well. It is worth a few extra bucks for the quality alone and it has been working great for the past months in my r artificial reef setup. I use two main filters on all my tanks but that is just me.

Depends what you are keeping. For a coral tank with few to none sps, 1 650 should be just fine, I'd start there. If you decide you need more, just add another later on.

If you're looking for serious circulation the circulation set up is the best, but you won't need the 1200 for a 55 gallon. I would recommend a 900 or maybe even smaller to keep from blowing your tank up.
