    get a slightly stronger pump than you think youll need. you can always ball valve it and adjust the flow. but if you dont have enough flow and your getting air buildup in the utube youll have to get a bigger pump. a magdrive 7 would be good.

    for a 55, I think a Mag 7 would be just about perfect..
