Hi Guys...need some info regarding sponge filtration for a 30cm Nano cube (Sulawesi - Low tech planted shrimp tank, plants being Moss's, Posgostem, Blyxia Japonica) No C02 infusion.
Shrimp type - Cardinal 'dennerli'
I've thought of using a Jad SF102 sponge filter attached to a JBL 500 Profilter pump(•490 l/h). My reasoning is that I want to have a good bacterial load/ filter but with ample flow, oxgenation and be able to balance PH levels.
My concern is that will the JBL proflow be too much volume for this tank setup and would a drilled spray bar be better suited..? I know you can just use sponge filters with pump/airstone but feel I want to present more flow.
Then again Sulawesi shrimp are from Lake Matano so would they have constant flow....Keen to present as close as a natrual environment/biotope as possible but to have excellent water conditions and params...
Any thoughts, better ideas...?
Thx for reading.
