Hello you all i have noticed my LFS only has foam filters in their tanks so it has made me wonder should i even invest into another canister filter or just put one more foam filter in there?
Btw its a 55 gal long tankHello you all i have noticed my LFS only has foam filters in their tanks so it has made me wonder should i even invest into another canister filter or just put one more foam filter in there?
So youre saying sponge filters means less water changes over time vs canister filters?Mr...
If you're cost consious, like I am, then go with the sponge filters. You will need to invest in an air pump to run them, but this is just a minor expense compared to filters that hang on the back of the tank and canisters that are many times more expensive. Honestly, I don't see that the other, more expensive filters are that much more efficient, provided you change a lot of tank water and do it weekly.

Gotcha gotcha!Mr...
No. I'm saying, if you change most of the tank water weekly, you don't need expensive, high end filtration. The large, weekly water change is the true filter, not the mechanical gizmo.
If you change a lot of tank water and change it often, a basic inexpensive filter will easily do the job. That's what I'm saying.
