    Re: My 2ft Fire Red Shrimp Tank

    Thanks! It's a ANS pre-filter. Previously i was using a sponge type pre-filter and i think it slow down my flow rate to quite a bit. So change to this one which i think will give me a better flowrate as compared to my previous one. Just got it today with felix at seaview.

    How much did it cost you? I have a feeling the flow rate of my filter has dropped because of the sponge on the intake pipe.
    Need something to scratch that itchy hand of mine.

    $11.50. sponge will get clogged eventually. that's why some of us take it out and give it a good squeeze

    Probably going to get it changed for the sulawesi tank. Don't like the fact that the things are getting stuck to the sponge pores.

    You have my support! In my opinion, i think it looks more neat as compared to having a black/yellow sponge.

    Sometimes having a sponge is good, for it is well worth for the looks still. I am now worrying will Malayan larvae(the stage before shrimplet) will be able to go through...

    Haha, agree much. You can experiment and let us know

    But I don't suppose the holes on the filter are so large right? After all the filter was made in mind to prevent shrimplets from getting through, right?

    the holes are much smaller then shrimplets, the larvae is much smaller then shrimplet and hence my worry.
    Then again, if i see malayan shrimplets it will be a good sign. will revert once i get to see them.

    If your canister or pump is easy to operate than i would suggest stop it for awhile remove the sponge better to keep abit of water of tank water in a container i use that to squeeze and water the sponge before i put it back.

    If you want a very RED tank, you can add black background.
