Does anyone here use a Hydor Sponge filter with an airstone?
I have a Whisper 10 airpump and a ATI Hydor I sponge filter in a 10 gallon.
It's causing a lot of waves on the surface and the bubbles are large. I am hoping an airstone will break the bubbles up to smaller finer and quieter bubbles (which my fish seem to like) without creating too much extra suction (which my fish do not like). I am also looking for something to stick on the end of the lift tube to redirect the current across the water like the Oxygen Plus 3 & 5 filters from Dr. Foster & Smith store does (sorry your site won't let me post a link)
Has anyone done something like this? What airstone did you use?
Would someone suggest a different filter?
