Hi guys, please forgive me constantly posting but I'm trying to absorb as much info as possible.
I just read an article that stated you should not use a sponge filter with air pump in a planted tank as the bubbles remove CO2 from the water, which in turn deprives the plants of the needed CO2.
I have also read in a number of other articles that sponge filters are best for Nothobranchius guentheri as they dislike a strong water flow in the tank, so internal filters are out. I'm now confused as to what filter I should get.
