I'm going to upgrade my filter that is currently on my 55 gallon freshwater tank. What I have right now is a TopFin60, which is what PetSmart sells in their aquarium kits. I want a good filter but I don't want to pay the price of a canister filter. Any recommendations?

Better yet, get a cannister filter that will fit underneath the tank. The filter kit you have is too small! Go to DrsFosterSmith.com

I use a Penguin 330 Bio Wheel filter. It doesn't cost too much at Petsmart and it works well for my 55 gal tank. I use it with the filter that came standard with the tank.
