Power filter is for cleaning big particles in tank. Sponge filter is to clear micro particles. So both of them has their own purpose. It better to use both
Both filters are not designed to filter mud. Sponge filter section looks cleaner because it didn't disturbed water column much and allows the mud to settle down whereas power filter creates turbulence in water so it looks dirtier.
I have used both but decided to continue with Sponge filter, 1. Does not disturb the fishes or the plant setup. 2. Cost effective, motor lasts long. Only maintenance involved is the cleaning of sponge once in a month. 3. Performance (in terms of cleaning the tank) is at par with Power Filter. In short, Sponge filter is the silent winner. - With warm wishes from Madurai (South India).😊
This is not too accurate. Since the power filter created much more flow causing the dirt to keep floating. Sponge filter created low flow causing the dirt to sink to the bottom of tank. In term of cleaning, i found that the power filter is better than the sponge filter because the volume flow rate of water passed through the filter is way more than the sponge filter. However there are more parameters to be considered in deciding which filter is the best for the tank. The habitants, number of them, size of tank, frequencies of maintenance and so on.
sponge filter is primarily good for low bio load environment and for breeding since it doesn't suck in fish, but power filter can handle higher bio load from just the higher flow rate. mechanical filtration is mainly dependent on the filtration media itself
@TGP Its hard to find a pump that does not make noise i use sponge filter with 2W air pump connected but i still need to put the tank in the living room cuz it makes bubble sounds and i cant sleep
Saya menggunakan filter spons dan merakit sendiri pakai botol plastik dan airatornya bisa dikedap suaranya pakai spon disumpal di ikat kable ties jd tidak bising. Ikan aman halaman rumah juga senyap.
It's not about which is powerfull. It's about which types of fish you have... Big fish = Power filter Small fish = sponge filter Because small fish can't suffer in pressure water.
Pro tip if u use a sponge filter use a good amount of rocks so that the waste is collected underneath . Becoz sponge filter cannot clean the tsnk like powerhead and top filters. Using rocks will make the tank look cleaner...
Agar small fishes ho tank mein to sponge filter hi best hai maine bhi sponge filter lagaya hai molly fish or guppy fish ke tank mein or gold fish waale mein power filter hai dono acha result dete hai or sahi work krte hai 💖🙏
I recently bought a mini 10 gallon sponge filter and I'm glad I bought it because it's really doing a great job with the water quality and it's bubbles are fun to look at
I'd say both have benefits. Sponge I use for nano fish and shrimp and fry grow out tanks. For my plecos I use a power internal filter due to the waste the plecos produce.
@@entrydorm there are many types of plecos, some are very aggressive and some are peaceful. So next time, ask the store about the fish's temperament. I had pleco (that albino/yellow) before but its a peaceful one, he did great with my goldfish and angelfish.
I run both a hang on filter, and a sponge filter with air line. I also have 2 more air stones running off that pump and my little 20lt tank is very clean. Im getting another 40lt tank next week so ill be using all my gear in that.
I think the power head does a better job. The water thrown by the power filter disturbs the water surface which in turn creates oxygen. Sponge filter is not at all a good filter. It cant support loads of media too. Which is very bad. The bacteria only can live in the sponge. So don't play with people's thought and confuse them. Guys power filter was continuously disturbing the water obviously dust cannot settle. The sponge filter hardly creates turbulence so dust will obviously settle. But sponge filter is only good for arowana, betta or small tetras. If you have cichlids and gouramis only go for hang on back filter, top filter or powerfilter. I have had fish, since 17 years now and in my case I would always reject a sponge filter...
Power filter, might be offer stonger suction through medias. If powerhead required put submerged, it heats your water in tank, a little. A lots can be happened in nanotank. Sponge foam filter + air pump not so strong suction as powerhead + sponge foam filter. But it do not emmits heat as powerhead. For people ”fight” with high temperature water, can be problems Myself live in tropical area. My water temperature 27°c -31°c. I want my water temperature around 26°c I will not put powerhead in my nano tank.
I feel any filter that is submerged under water adds to more ammonia in the water since all the collected waste eventually starts to rott and give away ammonia.. Over head and canister filters are the best choice
@@letsgrow2 the media with in the canister filter is also submerged. In fact there is a better chance for food to get trapped. A sponge filter is so much easier to clean and maintain. I'm sorry but your comment doesn't make a lot of sense.
I totally agree with you on this but the matter of fact is there you have large numbers of bio media in canister filters allowing the beneficial bacteria to break down the ammonia at large scale, same is not possible with submerged filters due to the space required. Hope it clears my point. Please add if you have anything else in mind so that the best results come out 🙏🏻
I was going to say I use both too. question.. is it safe to have both filters running at the same time or do I choose one because I just bought a sponge filter yesterday

Thanks I didn’t know that and now I know to get a sponge filter

Excelente observación! 👍

I agree, they are different case to case basis but if you have fry better use foam type very safe for the Small fishes.

Ok whats best for a turtle
Nothing …
Change water only
I always liked the sponge filter, it does so much more, mechanical filtration and bio filtration, and it is very affordable also.
@TGP Its hard to find a pump that does not make noise i use sponge filter with 2W air pump connected but i still need to put the tank in the living room cuz it makes bubble sounds and i cant sleep
@@macansan7046 noise for you but sponge filter is the less noise for fish

Good for baby fish and the shrimp 🍤
It's not about which is powerfull.

Both has their unique ways , but i prefer spongefilter works faster + easier to handle and clean but also good for fry they dont get sucked in.

😀😀😀😀 Great
I recently bought a mini 10 gallon sponge filter and I'm glad I bought it because it's really doing a great job with the water quality and it's bubbles are fun to look at
How did the power filter look so good during time lapse, then worse at the end?
Because of blue lightning
i prefer power heads because they dont clog fast and give maximum water flow and make a lot of surface movement and oxygen
I'd say both have benefits. Sponge I use for nano fish and shrimp and fry grow out tanks. For my plecos I use a power internal filter due to the waste the plecos produce.
😊😊😊😊
What other fishes, can we have with pelcos! Coz, lastly I had goldfish with pelcos in my aquarium and gold fishes died coz of unknown reasons...
@@entrydorm there are many types of plecos, some are very aggressive and some are peaceful. So next time, ask the store about the fish's temperament.

@@miggy4667 thnks ....
I had a spunge filter but wasnt efective. Bought a Sobo power filter. Im super happy with the power filter. Keeps my water super clean
I run both a hang on filter, and a sponge filter with air line. I also have 2 more air stones running off that pump and my little 20lt tank is very clean. Im getting another 40lt tank next week so ill be using all my gear in that.
I run a hang on and sponge filter, my tank is a 15 gallon tall and I wanted more filtration on the bottom, plus I like the aeration of it.
Thank You for the video. But show the time also in timelapse.

Flowerhorn fish ke liye konsa filter use Karu ,1 feet ka tank hai?
why not both in a single tank 🤔
FOR TETRA FISHES TANK WHICH FILTER IS BEST
Spongefilter
For flower horn fish which filter is the best ?
Bro can u provide that sponge filter link
An ordinary spongefilter usually have much more media and can handle more biowaste than a standard internal filter!
2 fit k ecoryam me kaun sa filter sahi rahega.
Bro can I use internal filter for shrimp ?
I like the sponge filter but with that's power driven so you get both the sponge and water movement of a power overhead at the same time
Thnx bhai jaisa aapne bataya waise kiya thik ho very good 👍👍👍
Your light isn't in true position, that's why look different
Yeah I was also think about that
bro small tank which one is the best?
Power filter much better but you need to change the filter like make it more

Throw that thing in the trash. Bowls are useless and inhumane
@@TM12719 okay ...
Hai bro I am a beginner, right now am using internal filter for gold fish.. I have to buy sponge filter
No need to buy it bro if your power filter is working
get a internal filter they clean and put water flow in the tank buy slightly bigger than needed big is good bigger is better less problems 👍
You added again the dirt in the power filter 🤨
