Rimless tank filtration question

[DEE’S reef]

So I was looking through facebook marketplace and found a 7 gallon rimless tank and a 13 gallon rimless tank. And I was wondering what do people use for filtration on tanks those size.

My little 8g is an AIO but I don't use mechanical filtration. Depending on what you have in the tank mechanical situation isn't alway necessary.

I run my IM 20 with no mechanical filtration.
Pretty much rock, flow, light and heat.

HOBs work well!

You can use an HOB (I prefer the Seachem Tidal), and/or just go with water changes.

5 gallon water changes have a big impact on nano tanks.

Used a tidal 35 hang on back filter in my 11 gallon and it was awesome.

There completely rimless would it matter if I ran a hob filter with it

Aquaclear HOB filters are great.

I run an Aquaclear 70 on a 15 gallon with just some polyfill. The water is crystal clear.

What do you put in the hob filter

Nope! Should work fine. Check out the Seachem Tidal 35 should work perfect.
There is someone on here offloading one I think.
Comes with filter floss and media bag.

So use a media bag and filter floss would I need a power head for the tank

Depends on what you have in the tank, depending on the filter you have you may not... but a small one would be beneficial.

I was thinking a aqua clear 20 for the filter I like it I have it on my qt tank.

I have an Aquaclear on my 10g QT for 3 solid years.
Solid piece of equipment.
