which filter

[BOD]

which filter outta these would be more suitable for my 4G betta tank im thinking of flow here...dont want it to be blown around...

Fluval 1+
Elite Mini
interpet internal

Id go with the fluval 1+, IMO they are nice and small & easy to use.

 

[BOD]

ok..im was worried that the flow was a bit high on them and it will blow my betta around in such small tank...

 

[Whitey]

It shoudlnt be a problem i use a small fluval filter for my 10 gallon and the flow isnt that much to be honest but im not sure what it would be like in a 4g??

But I have a betta who seems to seriously enjoy gettin blown around by the external filter outlet, each to their own i suppose.

hehehe....

well if ne bodys had ne expeience with the others lemme know ...muchos gracias

I'm would advise against all of those most betta people worry about the flow from a hob filter useing a internal power would be bad. Just use a sponge filter their cheap and work great, if not look for a small Hang on back type

okies....spongey it is......

also for my 60G is a 30 watt too low..i want a low lighted tank for my BGK....or is this too dim???

bumpity bump....

Is it planted?
I think I'd go to 50ish watts to be safe, but it's your decision, i think 30 watts would normally be for a unplanted 30ish gallon tank

I'd second the Fluval +1, i've used one in the past and to be honest the flow is virtually non existent. Should be no problem in a 4 gal for a Betta.

 

[BOD]

yes i do want plants...ill up the wattage then..so more than 50?

 

[Bloo]

yep 50W is better

I think the + series have an adjustable nozzle, just point it toward the back of the tank and it'll take some of the power out of the flow.

Unfortunately the +1 is the only one of the range that does not have an adjustable nozzle but the flow is really nothing to worry about. It doesn't even agitate the surface unless the nozzle is above water.
