    I threw that mini filter away, after 2-3 days hes so weak that no current appears and the air isnt going in the water. even the snails are moving high up.... TDS is complete garbage for me. have neo and caridina in the tank with 2 CPOs. no fish. its 200 or up to 900+ but you dont know what elements cause that or if you have to do something.... the shrimps are multiplying like hell, so no problem.

    This is the most stupid idea.. shrimps would remove food from dish as well.. to prevent unfinished food.. do not lay a thick layer of substrate. Dish make the tank looks comical too.. so unnatural

    These snails are champs! They came into my shrimp tank uninvited. I had build ups of white mold and algae on all my tubing. They grew very fast but they cleaned that tubing as well as I could. Everyone warned me of these snails but I quite like them🙂 Thanks for the information😘

    Great stuff! I have only one spong on my filter and the first time I made this set up, the spong imploded after a while and the pump didnt work that well...after cleaning the spong it worked perfect again...so when the spong starts to implode...maybe its time to clean it 🙂

    Ask a friend to wash their filter in tank water add that to the new tank and thats a better and faster method than buying this bacteria in bottles, its called seeding incase you didn't know and strangely no one here will tell you about seeding they only ever tell you to buy bacteria.
