well my canister filter has started leaking and i was wondering if anyone uses sponge filters in a large tank? I have a 135 gallon tank and was wondering if 2 #5 sponges with there own pumps would be sufficent for a tank this size?
sponge filters
- Thread starter driftwood
- Start date
what's the bio load....I would use them in conjunction with penguin 350s or ac110....thatfishplace.com has good sales on hobs and canisters....I don't know if I would trust them by themselves ...
Two large ones should be fine as long as you clean them often enough to maintain water flow through them. How often depends on bioload.
i have a similiar set up 2 large sponges do a good job with the load but need to be taken out and cleaned thats a pain every couple days to do.. i would shell a quik 50 on an aquaclear 110 and that will do wonders on your water quality overall and will even help keep more bacteria....ac's offer so many options they are just a great all around filter even to have as a back up

I have three tanks just like that for grow outs. I clean the filters once a month and never have any water problems.
