Internal filter vs external filter

[Mattefect]

Hey I'm thinking of getting a second filter for my tank but I didn't knw what to choose. Either and internal or external. I was wondering which would be better for discus and easier to clean. Could u leave a recommendation and a type of filter which is great and worked for u. Oh and I would like the filter to pump atleast 300 us gals a hr. Thanks guys

For a discus tank you need to go with a low flow filter. Have you thought about sponge filters? I've been doing a lot of reading, because I plan on having a discus tank eventually. I like this article...
Sponge Filtration; How sponge filters work biologically and mechanically

AngelfishUSA also sells the sponge filters they use.

The beauty of external filters is that they are easier to clean, and leave more room in the tank.
