filtration for apisto tank

[cubsfan]

Sorry, not sure if this is in the right forum...

I have heard from members of this forum that they recommend using a corner filter in apisto tanks (to minimize surface movement?). I am a little uneasy about using this type of filtration in a 29 gallon tank but have researched the different types of corner filters online a bit. Here is the type that I assume would be appropriate for a 29 gallon tank:

I am not sure if this is what people are referring to when they suggest these types of filters. Otherwise, would you recommend an ac 200 or 300 with foam prefilter for this type of tank? Sorry for all of the questions, I am new to dwarf cichlids and planted tanks, and all of the new issues to take into account are a bit overwhelming. I want to make sure that when I do set this tank up, I do everything right the first time. Any advice on this topic would be GREATLY appreciated.

That's basically the same thing as a sponge filter. It really all depends on if you are going to breed the fish or not. If you are, then you want something like a sponge filter so that the fry do not get sucked up. If not, then just about any filter will work.

Thanks for the advice apistoguitarra!

I will probably just go with an aquaclear filter in that case.
