I asked this question in the equiptment section, but no one answered it, but I really need sum people's opinions! I have a two gallon hex with two dwarf aquatic frogs. Would a sponge filter or a UGF be better? thanks for ANY help!! :-/

I prefer the sponge because you can clean it, as where gravel has to vacuumed, which is a little tight for a two gallon. Also sponge is tranferable to another tank if so needed as where UGF is stouck in tank. Also, if you use a sponge, make sure to clean it in room temp, declorinated water to preserve bacterial colony in sponge.  *twirlysmiley*

yeah my 2 gallon came with a UGF and its a REAL pain to clean . But i wasn't sure wether a sponge would be more efficient to filter. When I clean my aquarium, its too small to vaccum, so i have to take apart the filter, and trust me..its not pretty . So I'll have to find a good sponge filter, any suggestions? And how would I disconnect my UGF??¿¿

wait....is it possible to disconnect a "already installed" UGF? ??? ???

You have to remove the plate, and that can make a mess.

Ya, you can take apart the filter.. just pull the air hose off the top of the bubbler.

If you simply disconnect the plate, it become a lovely place for detrius to get trapped. If you're going to stop using it, take it out.
