Get the 1100's for sure. I have 1 and a modded MJ and I think I should have gotten the 1500. They do look huge in a 55 tho but mine works great.

id say do the 820's that would be pleanty in a 55g tank with ur other flow the 1100's are kinda an eye sore for that size tank i have one in my 180 and an 820 but my tanks large enough to make it not so annoying to look at....

i think 2 - 820's will flow great and the flow to the watts used is better anyways on the smaller seio

FWIW
