You'll need to turn it down very low but yes, the smallest sponge filter will work :) Make sure you pick up airline tubing and a check valve too.

Ok, thank you!
I may get back with you guys on how to put it all together. Mechanical stuff like that always confuses me. Hehe :)

I also own this filter and had it on my 1.5gl tank.. fit just right and worked great but the betta I have in there didnt seem to like it much so I moved it to a 2.5gl I have.

Oh ok thanks! Do you know why he didn't seem to like the filter very much? Bc mine seems to be finicky about some things. I think he's spoiled...
Also is that filter a sponge filter? (I don't know how to tell hehe)

[Bsalem05]

not really sure.. might have just been to much for him..

it is a sponge filter and if you watch the set up video the guy on there will recommend the aquaclear sponge and filter media which u can get on the same site as the filter if your intrested in it..


don't mind the streaks.. lol

Oh ok, coolness! Yeah. I think I may get that filter. It's a good price and seems like it works well with bettas! Thanks!

Your little fella looks gorgeous by the way!!!!

Are either of these good tanks?

or

They are both about the same price as the one I have now, but the one I have now is only 1.5 gl.

Does that heater heat up the tank to much or does it actually shut off? I have the aqueon one and it always goes above 85 if I don't turn it off
