How is it digging up the substrate?  The only way I can picture it is if you had the water very low with the filter on and the output was falling to the bottom of the tank.

he is saying that the flow of output/current is digging or "splashing" into the gravel.

 

I use to have this problem until i switch to canister filter as this was the only option and best option. Lowering down the flow didn't do much.

 

I like fluval and eheim classic or ecco.

 

I have 55 gallon fish tank and I recently bought a 4 bulbs 48" t5ho lighting fixture and I really love it but the catch is it makes my water evaporated really fast so the water that comes from the overhead filter drops down and digs up my gravel. @Hmoobthor, yeah Im planning to buy a canister filter but i dont know which one
Yeah, Im planning to buy a canister filter but Im choosing which one shoudl I get! the RENA XP3 CANISTER FILTER or the FLUVAL 405!! let me know thanks!!
I also have a 55 gal and I have the Rena canister filter and it works great.

 heres my unboxing of my t5ho  fixture lighting!

Another way you can solve your problem is get some glass tops, then your water will not evaporate and you will not have the filter issue. That's the way I have my 60g, and I have no issues with my aquaclear 70. If you want a canister I would suggest fluvial!

u can't...he has T5HO light..you can't use glass tops

 

either the XP or fluval are good.

why cant you use glass tops with t50?
The aquaclear 110 works great on tall tanks ... But for canister filters I would go with the fluval they work great I got a spliter on my 305 the spliter let's me point the water flow in different direction so I have it pointing at my other filters intake and viseaversa  
Plus the media trays are helpful too
get a fluval o5 model filter,they work best in my opinion..
