air powered filters

ive had 2 so far, one of those lees disposable ones, and a penn-plax corner filter. they dont seem to be working. are they all like this? when i place a small piece of crap next to it, it doesnt even move towards it.

My corner filters work. The floss gets dirty. The water is crystal clear and much cleaner than tanks with sponge filters. They don't usually suck up poop, just debris and particles in the water.

if you put floss into the tank, it will get dirty anyways right?

They provide a wonderful place for biological filtration to occur. You will still have to do your partial water changes and vacuum the gravel.
