Thomas Guin Posted July 29, 2022 Posted July 29, 2022 I'm planning on getting one Oscar for a 90 gallon tank. Was curious if 2 large sponge filters would work. I really don't like canister filters.
quikv6 Posted July 29, 2022 Posted July 29, 2022 I have an Oscar in a 125 currently with 4 Sponge Filters and a HOB, but had originally had him in a 40 long with 3 Sponge filters. While I do think the 2 large Sponge filters will be enough, keep in mind Oscars are very messy fish. You may want to keep the 2 sponge filters and add a small HOB (or even a box filter) with lots of filter floss for polishing. A 90 is also pretty tall, so make sure you have a sufficient air pump, given the depth of the tank. By the way....I think you will LOVE the Oscar and the personality that comes with one. 1
Thomas Guin Posted July 29, 2022 Author Posted July 29, 2022 (edited) I do have an extra hob for a 55, I'll hook that up and see how it goes. Thanks for the suggestion. Edited July 29, 2022 by Thomas Guin Typo
