I have just purchased a nice 55gal tank from a good friend. I will be transferring my black moors to this tank once it is cycled. There are four of them and I may add one more. Now my question:

What would you all suggest for filtration?

Thanks for the suggestion KyleBradley.

Is this a common filter unit?
Yes, that's a very common unit. It's got a media cage for putting charcoal or other media in, and the filters also have Black Diamond charcoal in them.. Here's a picture of my 37 gallon tank with the Emperor 280. Notice the black suction tube in the middle of the back-it sucks from the bottom, but also had an adjustable mid-tube suction to suck from the middle of the tank where a lot of the medicines end up. You can see my is half-way open.
