Hi, I am going to get a maxi-jet powerhead and add a sponge to the bottom to turn it into a sponge filter for my shrimp to feed on. However, I don't want a massive black sponge visible in the tank, so I've been thinking of growing Christmas moss on it. But I'm worried that it will drastically reduce flow?
The tank is a superfish aqua qube 40l, which measures: 33cm x 33cm (base) and 45cm (height). It will be a heavily planted cherry shrimp tank, With a few fish in (undecided upon which species). I was going to go for the Maxi-jet powerhead 400, which would be 10x turnover, but do you think I should go a lot bigger if I am growing moss on it? If so, what size would you recommend?
cheers
