Which ones do you recommed for a 15-20 gallon tank
I'm planning on getting maybe a 15 gallon or 20 gallon tank, and I just wanted to know which filter do you recommend. I was thinking of getting a - Penn Plax Cascade 80 Power Filter, Tetra Whisper Power Filter 20 or a Marineland Penguin 100B Power Filter. I like the idea of a filter looking sort of like a "waterfall". If I get one of these filters will I need a powerhead or an air pump?? What are those for anyways? And what kind of heater will I need for a freshwater setup?? I'm planning on getting 6 neon tetras, 2 dwarf gourami, 2 otocinlus affinis, and 3 Harlequin Rasbora (and if everything goes well for them I'll add 2-3 more rasboras). THANK YOU EVERYONE IN ADVANCE.
Answers:First of all, kudos to planning your tank in advance! Your fish stcking plan is reaonable and should work.
Go with the biggest tank possible - it makes it easier to keep water conditions stable. Hang on power filters are great and easy to clean and maintain. Marineland is a good brand and I have found the Hagen Aquaclear filters to be very good, also. I don't have personal experience with the other filters you mention but most power filters should work pretty well, regardless of brand.
You will not need and air pump or airstone with a power filter. Airpumps are for running in-tank box filters and sponge filters or airstones where extra circulation is needed. You don't need these with the power filter unless you want to run a bubble wand because you like having the look of bubbles in the tank or want a "burping" clam or treasure chest!
