Hi all,
I'm 1 week into my dry start but I'm already starting to think ahead. I have an Aquael PAT Mini filter to go into my Superfish Home 25 aquarium, but I'd quite like to swap this out for something external in the future, to open up more space in the tank and use a glass lilypipe set or similar.
My issue is that I want to continue using the lid for the aquarium, and the only tubing that will fit in the gap is standard airline tubing unless I cut the lid to accommodate larger (want to avoid this if possible).
What external filter options are there, if any, that use airline tubing and have a sufficiently low flow for a small tank such as this? If my only option is to modify the lid, do you recommend a HOB filter or a canister filter?
Many thanks,
Chris
