Which filter?

[eduguy]

I'm considering buying a 2.5 gallon tank. The link below is the aquarium. I need a filter too so i'll put another 2links for filters i'm considering. Which one do you think is better for me.
Marineland 2.5 Gallon Glass Aquarium - Desktop - Aquariums - PetSmart

1st filter: Tetra Whisper 3i In-Tank Filter - Filters - Fish - PetSmart

2nd filter: Marina i25 Internal Filter - Online Only Sale - Weekend Sales - PetSmart
Does this one need a air pump to run or does it come with the airpump to run in like the 1st filter

I cannot tell you much about option 2, but the whisper 3i IMHO is a great filter. It does come with an air pump and tubing so you don't have to buy that.

Just out of curiousity, what are you planning for a tank that size?

The marina i25 is a great filter. Not too much flow and is very quiet. I just replace the cartridge with sponge and it's all good. Would be great for any small tank.

I was considering a 2.5 but now i'm gonna get a 5.5 g tank instead taht comes with a filter
