Need Better Filter :)

[adam98150]

My 15g/14g(UK) has a small filter which doesnt seem to be doing its job.
Can anyone recommend a really good powerful filter fit for over a 20g tank? (So i dont have to gravel clean etc so much.)

You will never get away with not doing a gravel vac anyway, as it only removes the waste in the water not in the gravel, you are putting your fish in serious risk if you think that you don't have to do a weekly gravel vac, fluval 2 should be ideal for that size tank.

I would still gravel clean, but not as much as i do now...as it said in my fist post. (which is like twice a week.)
"So i dont have to gravel clean etc so much "

Thanks for your help, is there any other good filters out there?

You wanna try 14. )
Another good filter is the small internal Hydor make. I use them in a couple of my tanks very successfully.

Remember the golden rule; BIOWHEEL! that little wheel can really help reduce nitrites and amonia A WHOLE LOT, it REALLY helps... never buy a filter without a biowheel or some sort of bacterial generation thingy.

Ok, thanks.

Ive been thinking about the aqua flow 2 internal filter, would this be ok? If so how big is it (dimensions).

I'm very pleased with Eheims internal filter.

Thanks, ill look into it.
What do you think about a fluval 3 plus for my 15/14g tank? If this is ok what are the dimensions(how big is it)?

I have fluval one, two, and four, they ae not bad filters, just abit hard to pull them apart when you first get them.

Thanks, the fluval 2 would be perfect. (or would the 3 be better, stock in sig. If so what are the dimensions of this filter?)

 

[WILDER]

It always best to over filter, but i think the current on the three might be a bit much in that size tank, i would go with the fluval two.

 

[adam98150]

Thanks, so are these powerful/good filters, and worth the money?

 

[WILDER]

Yes, very reliable, had no problems with mine.
