Filters and media / Re: Filter?
« on: May 01, 2020, 09:31:21 am »
On my 53g I use the JBL CristalProfi e1502 greenline canister filter. One of the better filters I've had. Works great, much easier to open and clean than my old eheim canister (which was also really great).

On my 6 gallon I have the aquaclear 20 HOB filter. Works fine too, easy to clean and does its job. The issue I have is with the tank (Fluval edge) rather than the filter. Terrible tank.

During the rare times I set up a hospital tank I just use an amazon sponge filter with two media chambers for ceramic media on it. Works fine as any sponge filter would.

I never liked the internal filters I've used. My old fluval u2 was a pain in the neck. For me they go canister > HOB/sponge > internal. I have yet to try out a sump, but one day I will.
Sounds like some good setups!

Yes, I hear the FLUVAL edge really is a bad tank... It looks good though.

Why use a HOB on a tank as small as a 6g? Why not a small internal filter? 🙂
I don't like internal filters much. I don't like the look of them nor how they operate, HOB filters have been much handier for me. And unfortunately the fluval edge is the wrong tank to use an internal filter on. The opening at the top is too small and difficult to work with for me to bother. As far as tanks go, it does look really nice. But it's designed very poorly.
