Powerhead Filter

What's powerhead filter and what you need to know about Powerhead Filter.
The top sort of filters (and by far the most expensive) are external power filters which sit outside the tank. They filter the water chemically, mechanically and biologically too, generally using 3 different sorts of media.At the end of the day you get what you pay for and as long as you don't overstock your tank, an internal filter should suffice. Just remember to wash the sponge in tank water you have removed to maintain the biological aspect of it. It may also have a compartment or other means to insert other sorts of media such as carbon pads too.
How large is your tank? A power head filter is extremely compact and I wouldn't recomend them as really the only filter in any tank. The powerhead part is great to have in the tank however the filter part IMO wouldn't be enough even for a 10 gallon. The filter you are talking about just drops in and plugs in. May I suggest if you're looking for in expensive yet reliable try a whisper hang on the rear filter.
There are a variety of filters on the market and to list each and what it does would take hours. Some filters use natural means holding tank bacteria inside the filter, others are hang on the back kinds that draw water in thru a usually carbon based filter and dumps it back into the tank. Some use sponges or other media like sand to draw the water thru. some are under gravel drawing dirt and debris to the bottom of the tank for easier cleaning. According to your tank size and number of fish I would suggest you talk to your local fish store to see what would suit your needs.
I keep a salt and freshwater aquarium, and I use a Jebo 480fc filter to maintain my fish alive.
Aquarium filters are quite important in keeping a great water quality in aquariums. They are used to filter out impurities and waste from the water so that the quality remains excellent and water crystal clear, thus keeping your fish healthy. The Jebo aquarium filter is quiet and reliable with a top performance.
It's recommended to use internal filter with any type of canister filter, as canister filters are difficult to wash and clog easily. They don't clean enough for larger aquariums. The internal filters use a magnet drive submersible powerhead, and also have air injectors and attachable filter baskets to increase air in the water. They filter the water by removing the foodstuff debris and larger particles which usually tend to clog the canister filters, thus you really only have to wash the canisters about every half a year, the internal filters you should clean often.

Does this set up sound good for a 55 gallon tank?

The tank is 48"x12.5"(wide)x21"tall. I plan to get a Penguin 350B Bio-Wheel Filter, a Visi-Therm Deluxe 200W 11.75"submersible heater, and some kind of powerhead but at least 300 gph. I also have an extra Whisper internal filter. The tank is going to be for 3 Red-Bellied Piranhas and a plecostomus. Does this sound like a nice tank set up? Also some recommendations on power heads and air pumps would be appreciated.

The minimum tank requirements for a Pleco is 55 gallons on its own, you should not add anything else in the tank. The three Red-Bellied Piranha's will be fine, but will do better in a 75-100 gallon tank, as 55 gallons is really enough for 2 Piranha's, really. Get an air pump, one which is like... $50, you can get them for cheaper, as it will add oxygen to the tank.
