Keep in mind that getting air to your filter depends on length of hose and how deep the filter is in the water, too. (You can actually cheat a little if there is not enough air pressure on a specific filter to make bubbles, by moving it higher in the tank.  ) |
The sponge filter basically sit on the bottom of the tank with the top plastic piece about 1/8" below the water surface (short tank
). The tube running from air pump to filter is, oh, maybe 7-8 inches long so I'm trying to keep the distances very short.
