Best heater and filter for 10 gallon

[Jebus]

i just bought a 10 gallon tank for only 13 bucks at a lfs, but i can't do anything with it yet because i have no filter, pump,, or heater. I didn't buy them yet cause i didn't want to make a mistake and buy the wrong stuff . ANyone can recommend hardware for the 10 gallon? thanks

Just about any HOB filter, a 50 watt heater, and maybe a small powerhead for movement is about it and your set!!! Need a lid and light too.

I got a ten gallon beginner tank the other day and it came with a Light/hood and a 5-15 gallon Aqua tech power filter. I have six danios and they are doing great. I know it's not much help, but I'm kinda new also.

For filters I'd recommend either the Aquaclear 20 (I think that used to be the mini model) or even better the Aquaclear 30.

ive heard sponge filters work great with bettas...

Do betta likes water current? If not, Aqua Clear 30 may be a little too much for them, even at their lowest setting...

Good point. It'd be better to go with a smaller filter then.

Go for an Intercept Duo filter, either 1 or 2.
I have the Duo1 for 8 years and not once has it packed up.
It is a sponge filter and i find it easy to clean,

Personally i would get Duo 2 for your tank

I have couple of sponge filters and they do work ok.... except they don't really do a great job with mechanical filtering... (at least for me). So now I use them exclusively in the grow up tanks where there is a power filter present already - this gives me additional bio-filtering capacity.

I used to have sponge filters installed in a small tanks, but now all of them are driven by Aqua Clear Mini....
