Do you have any HOB filter recommendations for tanks ~5gal?
Do you have any HOB filter recommendations for tanks ~5gal?
I need it to be pretty small, and quiet since the tank is in my small apartment.
I have a little air pump I got at PetSmart and it's quieter than any HOB filter I've ever used.
That said, you might consider an internal filter. They work pretty well in small tanks and are silent because they're submerged (although if you wait too long to clean them they'll get noisy).
Hmm, I'm not familiar with them. Can you link me to an example? How do they work?
It has a small block of filter sponge at the bottom and it pulls water through that and out the port at the top. Has little suction cups to stick it to the glass, fully submerged. It's quieter than a HOB because there is no above the surface water trickling.
