[Cichlids keeper]

Are there any good sponge Filters that could be used for a 75 gallon tank with one Texas cichlid in it?

Yes but many brands. I suggest getting the one's rated over 75 gallons.

Matten Filtration is the trend now but I personally have Sponge Filters in a couple of my aquariums.

I run over 12 of the ISTA brand in my various tanks. I’d throw a couple of the bigger ones in there and call it a day. You can also mod them to have an airstone that quiets them down a bit. Or pop a Powerhead on one.

My daughter has been running a couple of these in her axolotl tank for a couple of years now. They have been working great!

I think it is extremely hard to mess up a sponge filter design! I have never heard anyone complain about a badly designed or badly constructed sponge filter.

I'd do a matten/corner filter in a 75G tank gives you a place to hide a heater from view as well.
