Hi mark456

The Aqua Clear 200/50 Filter is an excellent choice, and the chamber above the sponge can be filled with inexpensive filter floss to increase both the biological and mechanical filtration capabilities.

Hi mark456

This is a US site that I buy from, but I think PetSmart has a UK one too.

At least this will show you what I am referring to. I hope it helps.

Hi mark456

It's an external, Hang on Back (HOB) filter. All that is actually taking up space in the tank is the intake tube.

I like them so well that, except for box filters on some of my smaller tanks, they are the only filters I use these days.

i don't like internals too much
i use them on 5 gallon tanks only as they almost require 0 maintenance save for maybe cleaning once every 3 months

i would go for the aquaclear 30 (aka 200) as well. aquaclears are good filters and quiet too
