Wah bro your filtration is indeed superb and I only got 1 canister filter in my 3ft and my fish load is even higher than yours.

Now thinking if to get another canister or OHF to add on filtration, any suggestion ?

Is it not similar to a OHF ?

That's a home made OHF and the other video is aquaponics for nitrate reduction. Feel like trying it out too

Yes it is... it's a OHF. You can also add some plants that to soak up the Nitrates in the water.

Default My 3ft Malawi Cichlid Tank

I have a snail problem in my planted Malawi tank. Tiny, ugly snails.
Any ideas about the best way of getting rid of them, or at least keep their numbers in check?
