       Thanks for your input Duck4cvr.
       Are you using the spray bar on both canisters?
       No problem talking about the SunSun, when I started this thread
       I really wasn't sure where I was going.  I liked the look of the
       Odyssea brand filter compared to the white SunSun canister.
       Really thinking seriously about spraying some plastic-dip to
       help hide it's hospital white color.

       Yes I'm using the spray bar on both canisters, but I'm only
       using just one bar on each.   I can take pictures, when I get
       home, of how I set it up.
       But for now I have a diagram in the this link of how I set it
       up.

       (btw I made the diagram a long time
       ago, not just for you lol)
       Having two on my 55g eliminates the need for a wave maker in my
       humble opinion and I get the benefits of redundant filtration.
       There is a nice current, like I said the waste gets pushed to
       the other side.  Btw, there are dead zones for fish to rest,
       also that's where the detritus tends to pile up.  So it's a good
       indicator of where i need to vacuum the most.
       I'm not getting a lot of surface agitation, from the two
       canisters, because of this setup.  But I have a sponge filter in
       the tank that I'm also cycling and that makes a lot of surface
       agitation.  Eventually, I'm thinking that I want to design and
       build a small overhead sump with a few plants to help reduce
       nitrates and aid with the gas exchange.  And maybe buy some time
       between water changes.  Mini garden might be another plus!
