What filter fits this tank without too much current?

I don't use a standard filter on these tanks (we have 5 betta fish). Instead, I use a disc bubbler under the gravel for aeration in each one. Love these tanks and their design, but not too happy with Amazon shipping b/c all of the tanks came with at least one divider broken or cracked. Also, don't like the solid glass lids. In fact, I was leaving those off entirely at first, but one of our bettas leaped out of the water while I was at work. I didn't even know a fish would or could do that! So hubby made me some wire mesh covers for them. But now I'm rambling, sorry. If you want to use a filter, I'd get the smallest one you can find. I think they do make filters for 5 gallons and under. Again, I haven't had to use a filter. I use a disc bubbler, and lay it on top of a cottony pouch that has charcoal in it. I have to change the charcoal out only about once every three months. Bettas are so clean and if you don't overfeed, their tanks stay nice for a long, long time. Love the idea and design of these tanks, that's why all my bettas are in them, but see preceding for adjustments we've made over time. Hope this helps.

The filter should be below the tank, as it works best as a gravitational suction system - but you could probably have it alongside the tank provided it is below the water level.

I purchased a Tetra Whisper Air Pump from Amazon for approximately $7, which would have been more than enough if this filter had actually worked. The smallest Tetra pump is good for tanks up to 10 gallons.

Depends on the actual tank. Remove your control head on the sears unit. You need a 2.5" threaded opening on the tank and a 1" riser tube.AFW Filters

I think this works for up to a 5 gallon tank. It might not matter too much about the extra 1/2 gallon though this filter ha a lot of power!

It should be ok..that filter is up to 40g.... That thing should keep your tank pretty clean. Plus you can adjust the flow so your not creating a whirlpool inside the small tank. IMO I'd upgrade to at least a 20 or 30 gallon... Hope I helped!!

A good filter is only part of having clean & clear water, invest in a good protein skimmer like reef octopus for your size tank. You'll be amazed at the difference.

Suggest you install a manual clean out above the intake diverter. Look for the SlimLine downspout filter by Aquabarrel

If possible, measure your current filter. It must be 20 inches long and no more than 2.5 inches wide. No wiggle room on dimensions

Do you mean what filters? I just use the Aqueon filters small for those tanks. Never used a sponge.

I use them in a turtle tank but without the model name/number of your filter, I'm not sure.

Hi, I agree with other comments. I would suggest that you would need to cover most of the base area in order to get adequate filtration circulation for the tank size.

The 10 X 20 lee filter fit perfectly in my tank with same measurements. Good luck

The current filter we are looking at is Merv 11. For higher Merv value, you probably need to look for Merv and FC100A through search engine. Thanks.

You can use the Culligan UB-1 Mounting Bracket and the Watts 5 micron five count filter pack for about $14. Each filter is good for about 6000 gallons (about 3 months). I think the product number on the Watts filters are 500299. I bought the filter and bracket both on Amazon

No filter! Just a cheapie aquarium! I still use mine and have had it for a few years now however the light burned out pretty quick and I never could find a replacement. I actually use another light from a tank that does not fit and I have to balance it on the top, kind of a pain. Tank still going strong though!
