Smile Good type of filter

Hey guys, I'm thinking of getting a new filter.
I currently own an overhead filter but I think it clutters my tank too much...

So is there any filter that I can get that is relatively cheap? I already own a HOB Dolphin filter that's enough to filter around 5 gallons. I was thinking of using it in combination with a sponge filter/box filter

hi Bro
Take it easy bro, i know u got the itch to improve your tank, but two feet tank u cant do much improvement on it, On improvement - is get a full cover for the top part of your tank with filter build in type, u got to custom make.

I suspect Threadstarter is confused.

Hang-on filter is different from Overhead filter.

You mean you are using HOB now, and do not want to use OHF because it does not look nice?

Sponge filter for a 2 feet looks like a good idea. What fishes are you keeping? a low bioload tank may not require too high turnover.

Sorry, I have an Overhead filter, which I am currently using.

However, I also have another HOB filter. I'm hoping to use the HOB with another filter so that it'll be able to sustain the bioload.. hopefully

Depends on what fishes you are keeping, but HOB with sponge sounds okay.
