Hi Guys & Gals
I am a couple of months into my new shrimp tank which is populated with plants and CRS and all doing well.
The nano tank I got came with a Dennerle nano filter which has worked well to date. It silently ripples the water surface in my low tech tank. Oxygen is supplied by a Söchting Oxydator.
However the more and more I read and see in LFS (or not so LFS in some cases) the more I am seeing sponge filters.
So I have a couple of questions:-
Thanks in advance

So I have a couple of questions:-
- Would I be better off installing a sponge filter?
- How does a sponge filter keep up the flow in the tank?
- Is a sponge filter bubbly (at the surface, plopping noises etc) by its nature that they appear to be air powered?
- Are the Sera sponge filters (with added air pump) any good. I have no clue how they work.
Thanks in advance
