What 55 Gallon Aquarium Kit Is The Best?

[B Rolls]

Hello, I moved this topic to the cichlid section. I was planning on buying a 55 gallon kit in the near future. Now I see that there are a couple complete aquarium kits on the market. The main brands I am concerned about are Aqueon, Marineland, and Aqua Culture(found at Walmart). They all seem to be around $200 so I am really wondering what one is the best. Now I plan on using whatever equipment comes in the kit, but I do plan on buying a second identical filter to the one that comes in the kit.(For example, the Marineland kit comes with a penguin 350 filter so I would buy a second penguin 350 to run with it) only because I plan on keeping mbuna cichlids. I have heard of the Marineland LED light getting corroded and shorting out within a few months. I want to take my time and do as much research as possible so this tank will succeed. Thank you for your advice.

The only power filters I use are aquaclear hob's and eheim canisters. Never have been a penguin filter fan, though some folks like them well enough. In any case, the Wal-Mart Aquaculture brand is low-end as far as quality, I wouldn't recommend any of it.
If you're planning on a mbuna tank a 75 is a much better tank size than a 55.
