There is only one word that describes my confusion right now..
E-I-S-H
I've read an earlier topic on filtration, and as a newbie I would like to ask what the difference is between a
"Canister filter"
"HOB filter" &
"Hang on filter".
My filter is in the hood of my tank, i.e. the water get's pumped up into a small area in the top where is pours through the filtration material, and then pours back into the tank. Been running perfectly fine for 2 months now. I also am aware that the "Beginner KIT" tanks that comes with everything usually don't have the best of pumps etc, and I am anticipating my pump packing up within the next 12 months. (It's a Boyu tank).
So any information will get me in the right direction when I do need to replace.
Oh, and is under gravel filters any good? How do they work?
