Hi all,
I currently have an all in one canister type filter and pump combinations.It has quite a strong flow also.I have noticed that a lot of people are using sponge filters connected to an air pump.I know nothing about these filters.Should i buy one?
I have an air pump connected to an air stone at the minute but i would be happy connecting it to another filter if it will benefit my new fish.I typed discus sponge filter on ebay but i have a few questions.
1)Why are they so cheap????
Even a basic pump/filter costs more than a sponge filter rated for 500 litre tanks.
I tried to posta link to my ebay search but i cannot as my post count is too low.
Could someone do a search for a sponge filter on ebay uk and link me the best option?
I want to get it ordered asap and hopefully arrive before i get the fish.
2)How do they work? i.e) how do they actually draw water through to filter it?
Thanks
Ben
