Sponge filter or Under the Gravel filter

by justkeepswimming

Which one do you think I should go for for a small (5 - 15 gallons) tank?

Sponge filter gets my vote. They're cheap, they do what they're supposed to, there's no issues with sand or plants like there is with UTG filters. If you planned on having cories, you couldn't with an UTG filter. So there's some limitations to them.

If I bought a small tank that came with an under the gravel filter, I would probably use it. Otherwise I'd just buy a sponge filter.
