The power head attached filters, have sponges in the plastic containers, these filters are used only in the smaller tanks.
Nope, no more tanks, just the tanks in the room, no more.
thank you
The way they come set up new from the box is vaguely useful because it makes it easy to run carbon or whatever if need be, but the amount of filtration compared to what they can manage is pathetic. I'm using mine in a 10g crayfish/danio/snail tank along with a 10g sponge and if I were using it as recommended the tank would be way overloaded. They're cheap simple filters, but just like HOB's the main value is in how you can easily modify them to fit your needs. Not to mention the replacement filter sleeves they sell that are hideously expensive and easily replaced using cut up sheets of polyfill from the craft store.
I love my sponge filters but i'm curious how yours filled with sponge stack up against mine filled with ceramic media.
My smallest tanks are 15 gallons with feeder danios, which are slightly overloaded, but get water changes every third day.
The other tanks with this filter are all 50 gallon tanks, which are all very lightly stocked, and thus are good for a fortnight without water change.
