Best filter for discus grow out tank?

[Mr Aidan]

I'm started a 40b bare-bottom tank up in the near future for a few 3" or so white butterfly and was wondering what the best kind of filter you guys would suggest?

I was think 1 or 2 hydro sponge filters, if that's a good idea what size would you suggest? I was leaning tword 2 of the IV(rated 80 gal)

In my 55 bb i run an Aquaclear70 with sponge insterts and prefilter sponge, and 1 hydro sponge filter. Works great, i do 90% wcs every other day.

Prefilter sponges are SUPER beneficial, i use 30PPI sponge from swisstropicals cut to size and your good to go.

I'm using 2 Boyu hydro sponge filters and a canister filter Aquanic AQ 1000 flow rate 630 L/H,they work fantastic in my bare-bottom 90 gallon tank and I also do 90% wcs once a week.

As long as you keep up with your water changes, we only recommend using sponge filters. I would suggest 2 of the large sponge filters. Here's the ones that we use.
