I have a 56 gallon tall tank and need a filter that works well in this type. Will this model work well in the tall tank type?

I think you will be happy with this filter. I am using one in my 200 gal fish tank I like it because 1. it is a good filter 2. It keeps the water oxygenated. ( lot's of bubbles ) :-) when I get my 75 gal tank ready I all ready have one for it.

It'll work, you might want to go a little bigger though. The reason for the popularity of this particular filter is that the replacement pads can be cut up with an exacto and replaced with standard filter material (so you don't have to pay for expensive proprietary filter pads)

No, the filter is to small and does not hold benificial bacteria well, you will always have high nitrate and ammonia levels, if your going to use that kind of filter, but a Marine land 350 or 400 bio wheel filter, your fish will thank you, see ya ;-)

It'll probably be too tall. I have a 36 gallon tank and it's too talk for my tank.

Yes this is a great filter I use it in a 5 gallon tank that has a saltwater frog fish that is the size of a apple and he eats live feeder fish and the water stays clear I have had this filter for about a year and it is very quite. I would buy this filter again good luck

I think this works for up to a 5 gallon tank. It might not matter too much about the extra 1/2 gallon though this filter ha a lot of power!

I was not familiar with the filter you have so I had to look it up. It appears that you would have to put it where the intake pipe comes into the filter resivoir. I personally have a 29 gallon tank and I use the fluval 306 which has baskets. If you ever upgrade your filter I definitely recommend going with fluval.

I'm not sure, I bought the 306 for a 55 gallon tank and also have an older 305 for a 72 gallon tank.

I just bought a new filter at Petsmart. As long as you get a smaller size one that goes inside the tank, it should work.

Well I used mine on a 55g and it worked just fine used it for about a year until I got a bigger tank so I had to get a bigger one but yea worked fine

The filter will fit on whatever tank from 36 gallons and up, smaller than that I don't think so.

I'm happy with this filter, works great, would recommend. I use it in a 37 Gallon Tank, you can also adjust the flow of the water, so should not be an issue.

Well my 55 Gallon was a Top Fin but as long as its not bigger than the dimensions of the stand I'd say why not. Mine was a bit smaller but it's perfect because I have some wiggle room.

You might be able to use it. That size turtle is a little big for that size tank. I use two of these filters both in the corners and it works fine. You could try one and see how it goes. If needed, get the second one. Personally, I don't change the filters as often as they recommend and I've been using this system for probably at least 6 years.

Yes! That's where you should put it; that's where I have my 29-gallon tank. Works just fine!

I am using mine for a turtle. I have a filter in it but have the filter wedged between rocks. I may put heater in later but would have to figure out a different way to hang it. Hope this helps. Really like tank.

No the 407 is rated for 100 gallons so I don't think it's too powerful. It is very common for people to use a filter a size or two larger than their tank requires. You can also use a 306 instead. I have a 200 liter tank and I use the 306 and it's works great.

Yes that would be enough filter for your tank size. xp3 would be enough. I have had these filter for about 10 years now. Work well.

I've been using it on my 20 tall. I planned on upgrading to a larger tank in the future. It works fine in mine.
