How good Of a Filter?

[YaYgoldFish]

Since my AC 30 is starting to break on me I was wondering how good of a filter would I need for a 10g with 4 Corys in them? 1 of the is barely an inch long and the other 3 are full grown.. What kind of filter should I look into?

[KcEE]

Hmm...just get one that works for a 20G.

Use another aquaclear 30. They are like $30.00.

[Lady Hobbs]

Yes. Stick with the AquaClear.

If the basket is still good you can just pop that over. Help out your filter.

Basket is good..I cant figure out whats not working.. Its in the tank but very little water comes out the outtake part, making a rain like simultaion( wich I'm hoping might make my cories want to breed). When I fill the tank to the max it goes well but after 3 or so days it starts dripping. Im thinking it might be the motor, but I don't know..

check the sponge, whens the last time you changed it. Also the intake propeller may not be operating properly. See if it is blocked by anything. Sounds like maybe the motor isn't spinning the prop fast enough to pull up water.

I cleaned the sponge about 1 week ago, the whole filter actually.

Check that you cleaned the impeller assembly. Sounds to me like something is jammed in there.
