External Vs Internal Aquarium Filters What's Better?

Aquarium Filters External Vs Internal What's Better

In this video I discuss the differences between internal and external aquarium filters, which is better and how each aquarium filter can be used in different situations. External aquarium filters are bigger and support a larger number of fish however they are harder to maintain than the smaller internal aquarium filters.

External filters - water-driven/powered
Are the most effective because water is more powerful than air but sometimes needed to be cleaned because not all are always in contact with water. They are more space-consuming and less safe as it sucks water inside; fish inside the tank can be harmed.
They are needed to be outside the tank and needed to be higher (as high as possible to provide optimum aeration).
Internal filters - air-driven/powered
Are the least effective because air is less powerful than water but are almost not needed to be cleaned because they are always in contact with the water. They are less space-consuming and more safe as it sucks air outside; no fish inside the tank can be harmed. They are needed to be inside the tank and needed to be lower (as low as possible to provide optimum aeration).

You forgot to mention that external filters can ruin your house. You can find numerous reviews online regarding the thousands of dollars of damage these filters can cause when they fail—hence soaking your hardwood floors with the water from your aquarium.

Ty. ., , Do you 🤔 Fiddler's 🦀 or betta fish 🐟 need filters

[nigelbann]

Can you double up on Internal filters .

Hi you didn't mention about the water quality and colour. Internal filter does catch a lot of muck and making the water clearer and External canister is more powerful and keeps the water quality much more crystal clear by keeping flow of water circulation quick and fast.

I'm currently going through external HOB filtration, but will eventually upgrade to canisters or whatever my various tanks call for. This was a thoughtful comparison, however, in the U.S., those Fluval U2 type filters are quite rarely used by overall hobbyist due to the popularity & easy availability of either sponge or internal box filters.

Also will the 106 fit into a fluval Roma 125 cabinet (I think u have one don’t you) without removing the middle shelf??

But what about the quality of filtration in both filter types? You did not mention that. This is the main aspect of the filter - filtration.
