as my other thread states I am planning on a big rescape on all my tanks here soon and figuring out what I need ahead of time.
i don't like the whisper internal filter on my 10g anymore since i went planted. it takes up space and some of the light gets blocked. i want to switch to a hob but I've never used one. i want to go hob for my 30g as well and ditch the ugf. since moving it into my bedroom with the other two tanks the airpump is already bugging me at night.
since i am going to get a new filter and lighting i am just going to move everything from the 10g to a 20g long i have sitting in the garage. it'll only add around 10 or so dollars to the total cost so why not.
probably going with either a tetra or an aqueon power filter. wondering which one is better with live plants. never used an aqueon product but have used lots of tetra products but it was years ago and wonder about their quality these days. also curious if one with a bio-wheel is better with plants.
also i will piggyback a question about my current internal whisper 2-10i that is running on my 10g
the cartridge is finally starting to fall apart and may not last until i get the new filter. whats the best way to put it in a new one. should i just cut a piece off and stick it inside the new one or just double them up for a while?
