Faralon Posted October 23, 2017 Report Share Posted October 23, 2017 Hey guys. On my way back to the hobby (Finally after our move). Thinking of doing a UN 60U tank w/ glass hardware. Low tech, with some CRS. Glass hardware, clear tubes, canister filter below the tank to have the tank as the main focus to relax and enjoy. Question: The glass hardware (never used it before). I'm assuming they're typically slotted small enough that adult shrimp can't get sucked in, but I imagine any babies might get sucked into the canister. Do they make input tubes w/ smaller holes? If not, I imagine hiding a glass tube w/ a sponge on the bottom behind a stone / plant won't be an issue, just curious. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DETAquarium Posted October 25, 2017 Report Share Posted October 25, 2017 Welcome Back Faralon! Hope you are doing well. I used glass lily pipes in the past, on a small 11.4g aquarium with Carbon Rili shrimp. The slits were extremely tiny, however I always thought in the back of my head shrimplets are extremely tiny as well and I was paranoid at the time losing any. So I ended up just putting a sponge over the inlet to alleviate my worries. DETAquarium Faralon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
