breeding filter

[mattyr]

hi all,
what filter is the best for a 4ft breeding tank of fry tank.

JMO but most filters will do, you just have to make sure that the filter intakes are covered with a sponge to stop the fry getting sucked in to the intakes. Or you could go with some of the large air driven sponge filter available, god you could even make your own large one very easily. Heres a large one that I have, its a Super Leader Sponge Filter.

The cheap bubble-up filters work too, but the sponge is more versitile (can be used in regular tanks too).

2 Hydro V filters would be perfect for the tank.

Hydro is a great brand, I'm very happy with the ones I use.

do sponge filters just get run on a air pump

Yes, either an air pump or a powerhead.

Do you just put the hose in the tube at the top of the sponge.
