HOB filter?.. [dumb question alert]

[gsparsan]

I've heard of undergravel filter, cotton box filter, cannister filter. I've never heard of HOB filter before. What is it?

visual is always good I like to get pics to my questions so here you go, this is just one type of HOB, there are a lot others. but there all basically the same

Yo man, not a dumb question. It's just all about keeping up with the lingo. To me, 10 years ago, an HOB was simply just "a filter"

<----had no idea of the existence of other types until about age 16

DO NOT USE PENGUINS! THEY ARE THE WORST FILTERS I HAVE EVER USED! i even perfer whisper over the penguin i had! (in some aspects, but the penguin is nice in that it doesn't take up much room inside the tank compared to the whisper) but if you really want a nice filter, get a canister. i just got mine and LOVE IT!

No question is dumb. The only question being dumb is the one not asked.

I have seen pics of it before but didn't know it was called a HOB. I'm not interested in getting one. It just turned up in a lot of threads lately and was wondering was it meant.
