Filtros colgantes simplificados: ¿es este el mejor filtro para su acuario?

1. It's like you knew I spent yesterday evening researching HOB filters 😂

2. I don't think I've seen a HOB canister before. Interesting.

3. You can also add something like sponge to the spill way to make it effectively longer and reduce that falling water sounds.

4. Because I have space in my house for only two 130 litres tanks, I can "spoil" them with canister filters.
   Not really a fan of HOBs, the way I see it, is either sponge filters or canisters. In part, because I don't like equipment that I can't hide, and sponges I can hide with some plants, canisters I can place in a cabinet.
   Now, if I had multiple tanks…would probably go filterless heavy planted or sponge…🤔

5. I love my Nicrew slim hang on back filters. I never use the cartridge and just cut the sponge slightly shorter than the cartridge so if it ever clogs the water can just go over it like it is its own bypass.
   My aquariums are their own filter (capped soil substrate, loads of fast growing stem plants and Salvinia growing on the surface), so I use the Nicrew slim on them even though they are 60 litres.
   To create some better flow I put a piece of clear plastic cut from a bottle the width of the spillway tucked between the glass and the filter itself. It curves towards the water dropping down. I cut it short just so it barely redirects the flow so it doesn’t send my floating plants going crazy. As it is clear plastic underwater., you don’t really see it unless you look for it. This does increase the surface agitation ever so slightly though as the water is tumbling a bit below the surface.
   The instant I hear it at all, I top up the water because the surface flow gets stronger as the waterline gets closer to the deflector.

6. My hob filter has it's pump inside the tank under the water it always just works when you plug it in. I had the other style before and they get airlocked if there's to much desolved gas ffs it was so touchy

7. my preferred Bio Media is lava rock

8. Tip for sponge filter cleaning: scoop it out with a pitchercontainer. Then you prevent the cloud of gunk issue and you've already got some water to squeeze it out in. Also, don't bother turning off the air pump. It'll hold the gunk as long as it's submerged. I put a Tupperware bowl into the aquarium, lift the filter just enough to get the bowl under it, then up and out. No mess in the aquarium. No mess in the bowl either until I disconnect the air hose.

9. I was looking at that Nicrew for my 5 gallon, but I didn't know if it would fit on a rimmed tank. I am currently using a Finnex PF-7, it's very similar to the Nicrew, I think. For the new tank I'm setting up, I just got a Fluval ac50. Fluval HOBs are my favorite, so easy to customize and maintain.

10. hbl-803 by sunsun is the best hob filter for 10gallons, I use in two of my tanks and it´s amazing

11. fill ughs

12. I was interested in HOB but because I'm not personally familiar I was off put by the potential negatives.

    I was too concerned when some said their filter leaked or didn't start up again during a power outage. Though wasn't aware that some self prime.

    That and the out of tank benefit feels like a double edged sword. I'm probably being dramatic but wonder how the bacteria survives without flow when without power.

13. I've never used filter floss but used something similar like a skinny sheet for the intakes of my internal filter.

    Works well but discovered there can be a fine line between filtration and clogging. Ended up removing it in the main lower intake because my filter struggled with it with mulm build up causing water level disparities between the filter and tank.

14. We're on the brink of WW3 and im over here watching fish.
