Biofoam filters

Hello, just wondering what size tanks the Hagen BioFoam Filters are good for? The Single ones and double ones? Didn't really say on their website, but maybe i didn't look in the right place!
thanks!

I use the following foam filter in 10 gal tanks:

they work fine and it says tank size for filter size. Not sure about that other Hagen sponge.

oh these are just air driven sponge filters.these are great for small tanks,q-tanks,fry tanks and other situations that need simple but effective filtration.

Sorry about the link. If you go to big Als just look under filters and then sponge and that's the kind they sell.

BTW I use an air stone in this one which helps its effectiveness, I guess you could also use a power head since it has a tube that would fit it.

Some ideas,

Lou

Yep that is just a sponge filter, although ive never seen them in that shape and to be suctioned to the wall. But i like that concept instead of the ones that just plop on your tank floor.

I have one of those in my 29. I only put it in a couple days ago, so I'm not sure how effective they are. I got mine off ebay for $7. The box was in chinese though, but it appears identical.
