Hello folks. I am setting up a 90l 60cm tank and would love your suggestions on a internal filter that is shrimp safe. Cheers malik
If you use a black sponge you could hide it in a corner?I don't really want a sponge filter because as mentioned the look.
I actually spat out my coffee laughing at that description...... but nowhere for shrimp to get mangled.
Ha I recognise this powerhead 😃Hi all,
If you use a black sponge you could hide it in a corner?
Personally, for me, the powerhead & Koi sponge combination <"Shrimp safe filter for 35l tanks"> is always a winner - <"Flourish and Flourish Excel">.
You get a lot of <"filtration and flow">, a <"sponge grazing surface"> and the two separate generic components are cheap to buy and you can mix and match, what is not to like?

I'm running a 55l and a 75l on one mini-pat so it may well be enough for you, it depends how much flow you want and the hardscape.I like internal filters as I am frightened of leaks. I have a tidal 55, but it has loads of gaps even after I put sponge over the inlet. The bioplus looks like it has lots of grills, i don't understand why there is a gap in the market. I did consider multiple filters put that just eats up space and still looks odd. I do like the idea of a powerhead but it use a sponge which is difficult to hide. The oase filtosmart 60 looks good as a hang on back but it's only for 60l. It's frustrating because my shrimps been breading like rabbits in my 45l and I want them in a 90l community tank.
The Maxi-jet 400 is still going, I've had it since ~2005 and it has run continually for at <"least the last ten years">.Ha I recognise this powerhead 😃
