Corner filter or sponge filter

[ming1]

Hey guys, im planning to get another small filter in addition to my eheim 2213.. But im thinking between a sponge filter and a corner filter. Can anybody give me feedback or opinions on which will be best? I got a 2ft tank with 5 ranchu in it.

wouldn't back-hanging bio-wheel filter be better since you need to keep cleaning their waste material. Get the biggest you can find I think would be easier. Goldfish needs more cleaning as they are messy eaters.

Sponge filters are great biofilters Corner filters take up roughly the same space as a sponge filter but does not contain as much filter media, hence less bacteria and poorer ability to maintain water quality^^

But on that note, that is all sponge filters are good for biological filtration. But since you already have a Canister filter go ahead and get a sponge filter they are quiet and should you have any fry to rear in future, the filter's bacteria could also serve to feed the fry The corner filter would be unable to do this possibly get one for each corner of the tank or just one in the centre. Polymart at C328 sells some for 3.50. Just for price comparison^^

I would advise getting those with stands rather than those using suction cups Stands don't spoil but suction cups do^^ I'm using the biggest one they sel there for my 2 Black moors and one oranda does a great job^^

Happy Shopping;D

some people just add a sponge to their filter inlet tube works the same way^^
