the next tank i'm making is gonna be ...roughly 40g {42x14x16 odd measurment, but i'm working with limited space}
I usually use Whispers......but after reading all the comparssions with Aquaclear (+ it's the popular choice on SimplyDiscus)....but my LFS jacked up the Aquaclear prices...
I was thinking going the HYDROSPONGE or the Hagen BioFoam Filter route......
here goes :
(main filter) a HydroSponge w/ a powerhead or a airpump
(backup) Hagen BioSponge w/ a SilentAir battery pump [in case of powercut]
or
(main) a Hagen BioFoam Double filter air pump
(backup) Hagen BioFoam Double filter w/battery airpump
should i go with a HydroSponge III or IV (trying to save money here)....also can HydroSponge be sufficiently driven by airpumps or go straight with a Powerhead ?
Trying to safely save $ here
