ErinV Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 (edited) YES, currently I am inline to get this tank for $18 from an auction. I also have a bid on a 90g with stand for just under $100. The largest tank I have ever had is my current 30g, which I have had for several years. I have also only had HOB's. Both the ones I am looking at have built in filters. I will attach pictures. I am looking for pros and cons please. Edited January 7, 2021 by ErinV 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Burke Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 Ooooo how fun. canister filters (I’ve done a lot of research, but never used one. So take this with a grain of salt) pros: larger media and filtering capacity. Likely quieter. cons: can be a challenge to get set up and operating right. A leak can drain the tank onto your floor. HOBs pros: you already know how to run them. Lower entry costs cons: not as much flexibility in you media, cartridges every month or so i would try to get the canister filter working, if for now other reason, to learn how to do it. You can always augment with a HOB. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kristianmunn156 Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 Depends on the type for canister filters some are really easy to set up some you have to manually Prime which is a workout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kristianmunn156 Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 Sumps are like some canister filters but usually just a pump to plug in pretty easy to set up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
