Hello there!

SO I just got a coffee table Aquarium, and I am really not sure how the filtration will work. The filters are inside Black overflow type boxes on the inside of the aquarium. The LFS sold it to be used with Sponge only filters.

I can not imagine these sponge filters doing much, but the black boxes are pretty limited. They basically can fit a a pump and the current "sponge filter". How Do I improve the filtration in this aquarium ASAP?

Can I fill one the legs with Bio Material? Does it need additional Water flow?

If I keep the sponge filters, would it be beneficial to get some higher powered Pumps? The current pumps are 40W and 2500 L/H.....

The tank is 45 gallons
 
Sound like it is a all in one setup, similar to biocubes. I never had one but they are popular in reef keeping. Do a search for all in one tanks and check peoples setups out.
