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.
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.
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
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...
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
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.
@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.
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 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'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.
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 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...
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 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 to short duration test for conclusion...* *Explanation of this test :-* *Power filter is filtering more rapidly, but because of fast water movement small particles are moving freely...

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
How did the power filter look so good during time lapse, then worse at the end?
Because of blue lightning

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

Great explain bro😊👍🏻
Thanks I didn’t know that and now I know to get a sponge filter
Too

Ok whats best for a turtle
Nothing …
Change water only

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 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
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.
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.
I always liked the sponge filter, it does so much more, mechanical filtration and bio filtration, and it is very affordable also.

😀😀😀😀 Great
i prefer power heads because they dont clog fast and give maximum water flow and make a lot of surface movement and oxygen

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...

From chennai
An ordinary spongefilter usually have much more media and can handle more biowaste than a standard internal filter!
Power filter name?
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
*This is to short duration test for conclusion...*

We can use Sponge filter for Betta Fish?
Power filter much better but you need to change the filter like make it more
Can we use powerfilter for 75 gallon tank?

which Filter good for 1.5 feet tank for goldfish
Sponge..
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 👍
As a beginner what shall I buy?

Yes you can
What about top filters😅
Все зависит от пористости губки, ты не показал какая она в фильтре. Если увеличить объём, при прочих равных электрический фильтр победит.
Well i use both of em in my aquarium 😅
You added again the dirt in the power filter 🤨

Throw that thing in the trash. Bowls are useless and inhumane

Should we use under gravel filters?
