Well I have been doing research on sponge filters for a couple of days now and was wondering if they would work for a couple 10 gallon crayfish homes?
I bought two more tanks the other day off a friend for really cheap and needed the room for some blue alleni. However I don't have any filters or anything. I was thinking about a sponge filter because of the sand bottom and bubble aeration. I've got a perfilter over the intake on one of the hob filter on an established 10 gallon and it works the same as a sponge filter as it doesn't suck the filth into the hob unit. Which would make sense to just get a sponge filter instead of finding more perfilter material to go over each hob intake.
Would the sponge filter be alright to use? They are really cheap, and my lfs uses them in all of there tanks which means they've got to do decent.
Any input or information?
I've started my own thread even though there is a similar topic in the breeding section. I didn't want to steal the original posters thread.
