Stingray Filter any good?

[qquake2k]

Hi All,

I have a two gallon betta tank, with an undergravel filter. I would like to add some filtration. Is the Hagen Stingray filter any good? Are they easy to clean/maintain? Thanks!

That would be way to big for a tank like that. I own a few and They kick out the power.. For a tank this small, Stay with an under gravel filter or sponge. I find that the Whisper filter for small tanks causes a bit of a problem for Bettas. Bettas like to hide and will tend to hide behind the intake. This chews on their fins a bit. Just keep up the weekly water changes, about 2 cups (volume measurement) and this should keep your tank clean.

Stingrays are big, expensive, and provide little filtration...go with a mini HOB or a sponge filter.
