The_Little_One Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 Very interesting! That's super helpful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShrimpChick Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 Thats right! I know Riverfront has my favorite kind coming in this Thrusday (one filter is $7.50). Its the 45 series which I then stack into 2 45s. This means my 10 gallon of overstocked shrimp have great filtration equalling 60-80 gallons for the same floor space as one unit. I utilize this as I heavily plant my tanks and sometimes can tend to overfeed a little and know I am good for filtration; that and more surface area for the babies to feed off of.

The_Little_One Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 What brand is it? Do you have any photos of your setup? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShrimpChick Posted February 21, 2014 Report Share Posted February 21, 2014 Little_One, I will post some pictures tonight of my two set ups. I have one tank with s/ss/sss CRS and another I have been preparing for the Sulawesi Cardinal Shrimp I plan on putting in it both using the above filter. I also have a High Tech planted aquarium in my home as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShrimpChick Posted February 21, 2014 Report Share Posted February 21, 2014 Hey Little One this is my set up attached for my two shrimp tanks. I started with 50 CRS and now I have over 200 with the babies. Hopefully it will be the same with the Cardnials. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Little_One Posted February 22, 2014 Report Share Posted February 22, 2014 Wow. Those are gorgeous! What is that beautiful plant growing in the foreground of your CRS tank?You run dual sponge filters in each tank? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShrimpChick Posted February 22, 2014 Report Share Posted February 22, 2014 Yep the sponges pictured are the same as above and give me 50gall filtration with very gentle flow and allow for high O2 even though I maintain reasonable CO2 on both. The babies eat off it and hide in it and my water clarity is high. The Pretty Plant: Common: Susswassertang Scientific: Lomariopsis cf. lineata Would you like some for your tank? As your in Calgary if you would like to meet up and I take you through my set up I can give you some plants and help you get up and running. Just PM me if you would like that.
