Surfing the web I noticed several people use 2 filters per tank. Most have a power filter combined with either a canister or internal power filter.
Reasons given are
1. Added filtering just to be safe.
2. If one filter stops working there is still filtration in the tank.
3. Messy types of fish.
I am thinking about getting a small internal filter for reasons 1 and 2.
I figure one made to handle half my tank size will do. Don't want the current in the water to be to much for the fish.
Petsmart has there own brand called Proquatics Internal Power Filter. It uses a small pump and foam filter. It is actually made by a Italian company called Hydro I believe.
Several stores carry the Duetto Multi Filter Model DJ100 as well as the Fluval Internal Filters from Hagen. The Fuval comes in 4 sizes.
Anyone have any of these? please tell how well it works?
One review said that the 2 smaller Fluval filters are noisier than the 2 bigger ones. Other than that they are highly rated. Can't find out much on the other 2 brands.
Thanks
