Come back to the hobby

[ahloy]

Hi Bro, it been a few years since I keep shrimp and I have decide to come back to CRS.

but will need some help from the bro there as I has since lost touch with the newest equipment.

I will be getting a 3 feet tank set up for my CRS tank.

and will be getting a 1/4HP Chiller for the tank (will it be over kill? & any brand recommendation?)

for the filter, I am looking at getting Eheim 2224/2236/2217. (are these too small for the chiller?)

Base wise, I will be looking at mixing ADA soil with some of those small black plastic gravel.

any thing else that I am missing?

Hailea 1/4HP chiller will need a flowers of 1000-2500LPH.

Bro if I get a 1/10 Will it be too small for a 3 feet?

Thanks bro, having a hard time trying to figure our the flow rate and capacity (been a 5 year break, all rusty liao)

my set up will be 3 x 1.5 x 1.5 which will be around 170L.

looking now at 1/6 HC-250A but worrying about the flow rate of the canister. (will need a high flow for the chiller but if the flow is too high the shrimp will get disturb)

need advice on how to balance the above both..

U can use long rainbar then let the water shoot backwards 45 degree up This will break the current of water. Prevent tank circulation like washing machine If u use high flowers canister.
