Haymond Posted September 8 Share Posted September 8 Are there any canister filters I can use on a 30 gallon breeder with shrimp and guppies that are constantly having fry? I tried to use a coarse sponge filter on my intake tube that is running on my 75 gallon and it causes it to run bad. Anyone know of a canister filter with tiny intake holes ? The sponge filter is just not cutting it. I am continually having problems with algae. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your shrimplets and guppy fry are contributing to the bioload. Are you using plant food? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haymond Posted September 11 Author Share Posted September 11 I currently do a 30-40 % weekly water change. I did dose with seachem firtilizer but it seemed to make things worse. I turned my lights down to 20% for two hours , 50% for two hours and then 10% for one hour. The rest of the time they were off. This seemed to negatively impact my plants but the algae was still doing fine 🤷♀️. I just put in a shark pro filter filled with floss. Going to let this cycle for a couple weeks; changing the filter floss weekly and see if it helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
