I have a 5 gallon tank that I’m setting up to be low tech but I’m confused about the two types of filters and which kind is best for my size of tank and if water flow is crucial for plant growth, etc. I am also on a very tight budget so can’t buy anything fancy.
I got my tank second hand with an air pump included but no filter. Should I buy a pump driven filter to attach to it or buy a relatively cheap internal filter?
I’ve seen an internal one called Superfish aquaflow on amazon for £11 and has good reviews ♀️
But then there’s little corner pump driven sponges for like £4.
I’m also afraid of electrocuting myself with an internal one. I’m prone to doing stupid things in absence of mind
Advice appreciated
