Shrimp Life Posted June 22, 2018 Report Share Posted June 22, 2018 I'd say sponge filters (dual) are what alot of people like to use, coupled with an airpump, you can find them on Ebay HumanArtRebel1020 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickAus Posted June 24, 2018 Report Share Posted June 24, 2018 How big is the tank? How much do you want to spend is the question. It can be as little as $20 or so for a sponge filter and air pump or a Hamburg Mattenfilter, to upwards of $200 dollars for a canister filter. Then we can get into sumps both above the tank and under it. There is no easy answer to that without knowing more about the tank and the stock. How big is the tank? Is it planted? What plants do you have? Type of substrate? How deep is the substrate? ( Aprox? The substrate plays an important role in the overall the nitrification process ) What type of fish do you have? How many? Filtration is important and getting it right is not always easy. Revaria 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Crayfish Posted June 26, 2018 Report Share Posted June 26, 2018 I got a nice small sponge filter off amazon for $2.51. Larger ones exist that are not much more expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How big is the tank? 10 gallons Is it planted? yes What plants do you have? SMall java fern, moss balls, anarchis, some bushy stem plant idk the name. Type of substrate? black sand How deep is the substrate? ( Aprox? The substrate plays an important role in the overall the nitrification process ) 1 inch What type of fish do you have? guppies and jullii catfish How many? I think ten and the catfish, but only because there are babies I need to get rid of. Filtration is important and getting it right is not always easy.

I use them in my main breeding setup and they're amazing. Not to mention the added bonus of being able to watch the shrimp graze on the biofilm growing there Oh! And depending on the space behind the sponge, you can even treat it as an in-tank sump and fill the space with heaters, chiller pipes, more bags of biological media and purigen (what i use personally) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
