Is just one of these bubble makers enough for a 55 gal. tank?

It would depend on what you are trying to use it for - and the number of animals in your tank! We have one in our 55 gal. tank and it works fine ... but we don't have that many animals in our tank and those that we do have don't require much additional aeration (other than the pump/filtration unit we use). This is more for the bubble show in our situation - and it does a wonderful job for that purpose!! :)

hard to say. i have it in a 20 gal. tank & have to restrict it a bit. lots of bubbles. suggest you try it & if necessary, add a second one.

I am very sorry I don't know much about this, but so far it is very good. I have 15 gal. tank only. Thanks

Most likely not. This only works efficiently at depths no greater than 18 inches. A standard 55 gallon tank is about 21 inches deep, not that much of a difference, yet enough to restrict the amount of bubbles that are produced by one of these. It also depends on the animals involved with the tank. As some animals need more oxygen then others to survive.

I have one set up going in my 25 gallon and tone honest I am not sure if this is enough for the size of my tank. The mixture does not last 30 days. It dies with in 15day at most. While it is running and producing bubbles every 3 seconds or so.... It gets very slow (like a bubble every 15 seconds or so by the second week). Try it out. It wouldn't hurt but it will not make a big difference in 29 gallon tank in my opinion.

I use mine as a secondary filter on my 55 gallon tank. 1 angelfish, 1 plecostamus, 4 clown loaches and 6 cherry barbs. I don't think I would try it alone on anything over 20 gallons.

Yes, very well! I have a 55 gal and its the best thing ive ever done for my tank. Plenty, but not too much for a 40 gal

That wattage will be sufficient for your aquarium. 200 to250 handles a 55 gallon salt water tank easily.

On the package it says you can you use this Air Bubbler in 20-50 gallon Tanks, but with a one way check valve with an adjuster that can controls air flow you can use it for 5-10 gallon Tanks as the air pump is strong for smaller Tanks. I currently use this in a 5 gallon Tank with a one way check Valve with a airflow Adjuster and it works just FINE

1 is barely enough 2 shouldn't hurt I have 2500gph in my 55 and it could take more a good rule of thumb go salt water is "a minimum of 20gph flow per 1 gallon of tank volume" so a 55 needs a minimum of 2100 gph also just watch your aquarium and give it what it likes

Thanks for your question. I think that a 55gal would be the max tank I would use it for. You would have to use it to the max adjusting but it should work fine. Good luck and have fun

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

These rectors are very versatile so it depends what median and water flow you pump through it! It will work for a tank up to 150 gal. I have two on my 72gal with different types of media..... I need to know your exact plans for the reactor. Different types of media require different flow rates.

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 this for a 15 gallon system and it isn't anywhere near enough. I just ordered a new one myself. You have at least 170 gallons. You can never have too much air, go to the full blown big commercial one and you won't be sorry that you did. You might spend 80 to $100 dollars now, but trust me, if you have that many tanks already, you will ultimately need it anyways.

I have a 55 gallon tank and 2 works perfect. Comes with the whole top. Popped the old one out and new ones fit right in

It depends on what you are doing with the tank. I have 2 in a 120 gallon mixed reef. ..

You will need to get the Aqueon / All Glass Aquarium canopy. I currently have those on my 55 and the dimensions you gave are the exact canopies on my tank

I think that this would be a bit much for a 40 gallon tank. I would go for a lesser model. it works well on my 55 gallon tank but I would not go lower than that

YES. This is definitely sufficient for 60 gallon fish tank. I have a 75 gallon tank and it definitely puts out enough air. It has 2 features - 1) Adjustable air flow, and 2) 4 air outputs that all put out equal air regardless of what is attached, which is superior to having one outlet with a 4 way splitter. The other answer mentions composting aeration which is not what I am doing, I have a regular aquarium.
