I only use box filters. I like the fact that they remove the particulate matter from the water. When I clean them I put a piece of the dirty fluff back in the filter. In most of them I use gravel or small pieces of lava rock. Some have ceramic filter media in them as well. I am old school.

All of my 10's / 20 longs / 15's and 30's have box filter in them.

I use sponge filters only on all my tanks 10g-30g except two which I have box filters using the same method to weight them down as Lonny. Works great.
