Habitat - Indoor :: What filter can I buy?

[Jenn84]

I have tried hang on tank filters but they don't fit in the pools edge that's why I put a small beta tank in there then put the 2 filters attached in the little tank with the suction cups lol which one would you recommend that fits and can clean so much water?

Thanks

Which filter was it that you tried?

Most people run a simple bucket with a hole on the side near the bottom. Media is usually:

|Course Foam|
|Fine Foam |
|Chemical |
|Biological |
|Biological |

It's actually the cheaper way to go and can give great results. All you need is a bucket, pond pump, tubing, media, and plastic mesh (crafts store). Some key things are having a flow control valve coming off the pump, a good seal on the outlet pipe on the bottom, and a good quality pump. It really is easy to make an effective pump. To stay on a budget some people use pot scrubbers as bio media and that red lava rock as their chemical/charcoal.
