Hi all,
I'll soon be setting up a 10g as a grow out tank for some platy fry spawned by my sex-maniac platys. (I'd swear you can hear the Barry White tunes coming from their tank at night... )
Which filter do you think would be better: a sponge filter or an AC20? I've already bought a new AC 20, but I began to think a sponge might be better for this particular purpose. They seem to have greater biofiltration and the tank is bond to be a bit overstocked as they grow. (I plan to do frequent water changes.)
I don't mind keeping the AC 20 as a spare for a while: once the platys are grown and gone, I might swap it in and keep some small species in the tank.
Which would you choose?
