Default filtration for rays question..

As topic.. Im currently housing my raysin 4x2x2..
Intend to upgrade to a bigger tank in the near future..
But for now, which filtration is better for rays water management for my tank?
Im currently using the normal OHF fyi..

Lets say to choose from OHF (stackable or not) or canister filter? Thanks in advance.

basically normal OHF will not be sufficient as it is limited. stackable OHF is fine. Sump will be better. mind telling what is your experience in fishkeeping? not to look down on you but to better assist you in getting all the requirement correct and enjoy raykeeping..

I suggest u do an advanced SEARCH

Sump system basically is a glass tank itself filled w loads of media (great for biofiltration)
