Aquarists, what should I supplement my filtration with?

Asked by syz (35938

I have a 35 gallon with which I use an undergravel filtration system (I like undergravel because it’s self-contained, nearly silent, no exterior containers or lines to leak, and the live plants love it). I’ve never had in problems in the past, but for this tank it just doesn’t seem to be enough (and my water wants to be pretty acid). I’m thinking that I’d like to try an additional filtration system but I’m seriously out of the loop of current tank technology. Any recommendations?

In that case I’d probably just go with a simple hang on back filter that you can put things into such as carbon/resins. If you really wanted to invest the money and get a better filter I’d go with a canister filter but like I said, I don’t think it’s really necessary. As for acidity you can always use buffers.
