I haven't bred anything, but I use sponge filters. I was using an internal waterfall filter in one of my tanks, but the newt in it died.

What do you mean by breeding tanks? The tank were the adults breed and lay? Or the tank where the larvae are reared?

I don't use any sort of filters for any caudate tanks or fish tanks. I am curious to see how many people think Johnny should get out of his basement. Lol...

In most of my tanks, I use airlift filters that pull water through a gravel-filled compartment which has a layer of cobbles on top to prevent animals from ingesting the gravel. You can see how it works in this video:



I use sponge filters for fry tanks. I've never used carbon media.

I used to use carbon filters and sponge filters. I no longer use them in anything, only air bubblers and water changes. And bio-filters.
