Filter Suggestion

[deogan]

I have a tank of 3*1*1.5 with six chichlids. I had two internal filters earlier. I was told by some one that the water quality of external filter is much better than the internal filter. I got two external filters made. These are glass boxes 1 foot in length by 1/2 foot in breadth and height with holes in the base. water is pushed by a motor and pipe from the tank and falls on a 1.5 cm thick piece of sponge. then filtered water falls through the holes back in the tank. But the water still have suspension.

can I add some other media in the filter boxes along with the sponge? any other suggestions to improve the water filteration.

The best Filters out there are Canisters by far, but If your looking for the best Hood fiter my opinion is Aquaclear. How you can tell if a filter is good, is if the bubbles go from one side of the tank to the other. Aquaclear does that.
