Fluval 2+ is a nice filter with a decent flow rate but it depends what you want to keep

EDIT - If its a fry tank you might want a slower flow rate so an not to blend up the fry lol

If it ends up being a fry tank then a sponge filter is the best option as it is run by an airpump, has no current and cannot suck in and kill fry.

If not, a Fluval 1 or a HOB filter will be fine.

anything that does one point five of the tanks volume in one hour

just about any 20 gallon filter will do...i always try to at least double the filtration. but if its going to be a fry tank you would do best by having a sponge filter. anything else, IMO i would go with the HOB. internals obviously take up tank space but have the advantage of not having anything on the back

What do you mean HOB?

HOB means Hang On Back.

I useda fluval 2+ in a fry tank without any problems, to avoid anything getting sucked into the filter i stole a pair of the wifes tights, cut a foot off it an covered the filter intakes, and turned it right down to low. For the first week I also put some over the output, the second week I uncovered the outlet and as they got bigger I removed the tights, then it gace them a chance to get used to a to a stronger current before moving them to the main tank.

They all survived
