Eheim 2211 for a 10 litres tank?
Hey Guys.. I have a unscaped 10 litres tank atm.. I am quite fed up with HOF and the smallest eheim external is a 2211 rated at 300 litres per hour.
I do intend to cover the inlet with a sponge to prevent shrimplets from getting sucked up. Will that slow down the flow rate and by how much? Is it too strong? Your views please. Thanks! |

10L with 2211. Way overkill ba.
Or you can study those LFS with nano tanks on display. See how they use pumps instead of HOF. Always has this idea toying on my head. Create a rainbar facing inwards all round the tank. Choke up the inlet with sponge. Maybe this can work. But I cant really do diy well. Like wat antitrust recommend.Boyu ef-05 will be the best bet. |

Once every month, it is advisable to take out the sponge at inlet and squeeze the dirt/waste stuck in the sponge using tank water. Sponge will get choked over long period of use and will affect the outflow thus reduced the lifespan of canister.. All the best in shrimp keeping.. |
