Filter for discus 8 Months, 2 Weeks ago

|
A mate is asking what anyone would reccomend as a filter for a 3ft clearseal tank to contain 1pr of discus.I'm not sure of the other dimensions,eg 12 or 15 or 18in.
Any ideas anyone?I suggested to maybe back it up with a 500ltr rated sponge filter?
Thanks
Dave

A good sponge filter should be fine as long as he dosent intend feeding beefheart. I have heard from a discus breeder that the beefheart clogs the sponge.

If he's going for an internal I'd recommend the Fluval 4+, but thats not enough by itself for a 3' tank.
Telll him to go for a good external, like a tetratec EX 700, or 1200.
