I think, a sponge filter is for you - simple, cheap and effective.
It provides mechanical and biological filtration, once the sponge has grown bacterial colonies. Filters come in a variety of sizes shapes, and pore sizes to adapt them to an almost filtration need. Sponges give excellent results in ponds, saltwater, and freshwater. They can be used as an addition to another filter, such as a canister filter, or as the only source of aquarium filtration - https://great-filter.com/best-sponge-filter/

What you basically need is a multi stage filter for that much capacity. Normal filter arent that successful for mechanical and chemical filtering. But again, in multistage filters, problem of high maintenance comes up.

I wuld recommend a fluval 406 filter for that capacity meeting your requirement. For detailed review, visit https://inlandaquatics.com/fluval-406-review-specifications-features-and-advantages

I have a brand new great choice internal 10-20 filter for my aquarium and it is not pumping water

Did you prime it? fill the filter with water, then plug it in. It should start pumping in a few seconds.

Cloudy water that stinks

1st priory is to save the fish !! move them to a new container consisting of half old water and half new water (declorinated) along with a small air bubbler !! this should help your fish to recover (don't use soap to clean out container it is toxic to fish) moist table salt is best to use for a cleaning agent and rinse well b4 putting fish inside

then ck to see if your aquarium is pumping water thru the filter and falling back into tank ( replace all the water in the tank 1st with two rinses ) make needed repairs to pump and or filter assembly (New filter cartridge) new pump impellers and cartridges are available for purchase for your aquarium from vendors that sell aquariums and allways ck the outlet the pump is plugging in b4 blaming a pump fail with a known good table light set to "On" they do go off once and an a while
verify that water chemistry is ok b4 retuning fish to tank and observe fish for strange behavior for next several hours ( upside down swimming, laying sideways )

Aquarium water is cloudy

This can happen and will generally clear with time, if you are concerned do a water change. I find that this treatment is more hassle than its worth, if you have a suitable filter seachem denitrate is a good alternative, or he aquarium pure balls.

We just bought an aquarium for our home and I am currently looking into filtration systems. I am torn between what type I should buy. How can I choose the right filtration system for my tank?

You need to take a few criteria into consideration before buying a filter for your aquarium. Afterwards, it will be easy to decide on a type of filtration system. Begin by considering your tank size and the type of fish you plan on inhabiting the tank. Some fish are dirtier than others and may need a stronger filter. Next you should consider maintenance (some require more than others). With these tips you should be able to narrow down your search field and find the right filtration for your tank.

Are there aquarium filters that I do not have to put into the tank itself? Maybe something that can work from the outside?

Yes. There are both internal and external filters. External filters are normally hung outside the aquarium or placed under it inside the aquarium stand. Some of these filtration systems include power filters and canister filters.

How do I know what size filter I need for my aquarium?

The general rule of thumb is that all of the water inside your tank should pass through the filter at least four times per hour. This equation should make it easier for you to calculate. Here is an example - a 30 gallon tank needs a flow rate of 120 gallons per hour.

What kind of filter should I buy for my aquarium?

In my opinion, power filters are the best. They are easy to maintain and are also quite economical. The most common style of power filter hangs on the back of your tank. A siphon will pull water from the tank, eliminating any bacteria and returning filtered water back into the aquarium.

What is the difference between a filter and a pump in a fish tank?

A filter maintains a natural environment that for fish thatbalances the good and bad bacteria in the tank. Additionally, a filter can remove toxins, chemicals and other unwantedmaterials from the water. The filterworks by taking water in from the tank and returning it clean.A pump is just a pump. It pumps air into the tank and creates bubbles, and sometimes a current. It does not clean the tank or balance thebacteria and PH like a filter does.
