Who Gives A Fish Forums

Thanks for the input, everyone. I do weekly 25% water changes and rinse the media in old tank water monthly. Sounds like I might be overthinking it.

I've been running a HOB filter on my 20 gallon planted tank for about six months now. It's got a Betta, some Neon Tetras, and a few Corydoras. The water's been clear, but I'm wondering if I should upgrade to a canister filter for better filtration. What's your experience with HOB filters long term?

Thanks for the advice guys, looks like an eyebiter is out of the question. Appreciate the honesty, especially from boomer - didn't know about the water requirements and space needs.

I'm running a 100g with an FX6, currently home to a hujeta pike, senegal bichir and 7 silver dollars. Thinking of adding an eyebiter - never had african cichlids before, so any advice would be great, cheers.
