Filter for 4g

Any good filters for my clear seal four gallon shrimp and wcmm tank

I just ordered this internal filter for my 4g:

It says up to 15 gal but it's only 53 gph.
I got that one because I am trying to fit it into the sump of an aqueon evolve4, but if you have a normal tank you might like a HOB better.

Here's a HOB style that's 45 gph.
By the way, WCMMs need a much bigger tank than 4g. They need a 10-20 gallon tank.

I would prefer a hob

Azoo palm. Pretty cheap online.

I agree, for the price its hard to beat. But if you want to splurge and have the option of using it on a bigger tank (up to 20g) a aquaclear 20 would work. They are about $20

I am using an aqueon quiet flow in my 5 gallon. Cost $8. Silent and does a great job. I also bought a sponge filter for another small container and it works great too. Here is a link to the HOB Aquarium Filtration and Water Quality: Aqueon Quiet Flow Power Filters

The smallest aqueon quiet flow has a flow rate of 100 gph.. That seems a little too strong. And the Azoo palm is only 16 gph which is very weak. For a 4g you want something in the 30-50 gph range. But I suppose it depends on what kind of fish you want to keep also. For example a beta would not like a strong filter.

Shrimp and wcmm

WCMMs need a much larger tank. They are very fast active swimmers.
WCMMs wouldn't mind a high flow but shrimp would probably prefer a lower flow so they don't get blown around.
