    i have a opae ula tank! comeing to 2 years now and i'm thinking of up-grading to a bigger tank soon from a 2 gal so this video helps a bit. what do you do about poop over time? my happy tank when from 12 to 60+ really fast. they even ate through one of macro algae. i'm thinking of adding more plants(macro algae/moss balls) in the next setup.

      @@MarksShrimpTanks thanks to taking the time to respond! ya, that's how they got from my original 12 to 60 to begin with. lol. (i would have less but one of my fav shrimp berried, again) when they started to breed i was told that they were happy and i was doing everything right. now i just have a bit of a infestation in my hands and a layer of poop that even the microorganisms in the tank can't keep up with. did i mention i'm a novice at this.
      now that i have your attention though, i have a few questions for my future tank: should i change the water perimeters? i know they can live in fresh water but don't like to breed in it. just for population control.
      and yay or nay on Brackish Water Snails? your opinion. the're cute but i found that they just mow down everything.

    Can anyone tell me the make / brand / where to buy powerhead filter(s) with slide on/off sponge as shown in the video, please.
    I've tried various air pump / sponge filter set-ups and also different internal filters and my next 'project' was going to be trying to cobble together something that combines the best of both, ie. the large surface / grazing area of a sponge filter (unlike the usual tiny sponge block in a box of an internal filter), but without the noise of an air pump, however if there's an existing design already available?
