Question: Goldfish Filter recommendation

shellbell4ever · February 4th, 2009

I will be upgrading my 10 gallon goldfish tank to a 30 Gallon in the next few weeks and was wondering what type filter I should get?I heard I should get a larger one than I would need for a tropical tank on account there such little piggys

It's generally a good idea to over filter for goldies.
One thought would be a reverse UGF combined with a HOB. The reverse UGF will force a lot of the leftover food and waste up into the water column, where the HOB will pick it up. Vacuuming will be a bit easier for it.

i have a penguin 150 biowheel for my 29 gallon, but if you want extra filtration for the goldies i'd go for the 200
