Some good hang on filters.

So I'm looking at this hang on filter for my 20 gal tank.

Anyone used it? Is it noisy? Or perhaps you have a different hang on filter that you like?
I'm just looking for a hang on the back filter, any good brand is ok with me.

Better question would be why do you want to add one?


Live rock, heater, lights, and a couple PH's for movement is all thats "needed" for a salt tank.

I wouldnt use one either..
Just powerheads,etc...as homer stated..

Yes aqua clear is very good hob filter if u choose to use one

I cannot say it's very noisy but there is a sound while using such a model

"Why would you want one?" I've done 90 gal tanks, 36 gal tanks, homemade sumps, homemade hoods. I just want a simple nano tank on my dresser. The simple life is for me.

Anyhow, this is what I'm basing my tank off of.

Those that have used the aqua clear filter, would you say it's to noisy for a bedroom?

Hand on the back refugium would be money better spent.

Good idea, I already bought one though. :lol2:

Now I just need the hang on the back! But I'm unsure which one to get. Seems two people on here have had good experiences with the aqua clear filters, so maybe that's the one I should go with.

I had one on a 6 gallon nano. It was in my noisy office, so I can't say if it is super silent, but it is pretty quiet. I have 2 on a 30 gallon planted fw tank in my kitchen now, and they do a good job, can't really ever hear them. If you use one for saltwater stay on top of keeping that filter media clean, or just take it all out and put a bag of chemi pure in there.

Excellent thanks! I'm planning on a foam pad, carbon, and gfo.
The 30: 10 to 30 US gallons looks the best. Has the best price too. Plus if it's flowing to much I can adjust the flow.

In my opinion, hangons are the best idea for saltwater. I used to use one on my hospital tank that is 20 gallons but I was constantly fighting ammonia and ph. I moved to a tunze 9001 skimmer.
