Bigger is better?

[MattW29 145]

There are always comments on Aquariums that say bigger is better. What about filters? At 26.5 Inches tall, is it sufficient enough?

Our Giant Coast Sponge Filter is a fully functional filter that may be used in a giant aquarium or pond, but it we really designed this for fun and as a conversation piece.

Just pop it in a 5 gallon...

In a large tank with tech to provide water flow and a good hiding place, why not. I guess.

Think this is the best review of a filter I've seen so far.

Also great packaging information

So now they have to come up with a general pump for the everyday hobbyist to run that monster.

Bigger is often better. But for sure not always...
I've also got fish species overhere that don't prefer a clean tank . So, those tanks have a smaller filter. And a number also don't prefer a good waterflow.
So, I wouldn't claim that bigger is always better...

Okay ,so what’s the verdict on sponge filters ? Coarse or fine sponge material ? I’ve got both and can’t really detect any appreciable difference .

It probably a fraud just like that whole company and it's owner.
Edit: For context, go watch one of Cory's videos where he proclaims he's "a master aquatic horticulturist" as if it's an academic title earned by years of study.
When in fact it is an award given out by the Greater Seattle Aquarium Society for growing aquatic plants. It takes 400 "points" to achieve the title and you can get 60 of those points just by growing DUCKWEED. He's a fraud.

Duckweed can qualify you as an aquatic horticulturalist ? That bar is pretty low !
