Eheim Liberty or Aquaball?

I've been thinking of converting my bare 1.5 ft 5-plan tank to a planted tank and currently i have no filter except a Xinyu sponge filter with 2 miserable 1 week old betta fries in it. So i want to ask which is more suitable for a mid-tech planted tank?

If you intend to inject CO2 , then you have to walk away from Liberty, the CO2 Loss will be too much, I would probably go with Aquaball, but I think, an Eden Internal will do as well, and cost less too

eden? is there a website on this that provides more information? Aquaball like very stylish and sleek

for the price, of course sleek lah. I dont think there is a website for eden but you can find the filter in C328, not very outstanding packaging so you need to really open your eyes

but i intend to put some shrimps in the tank so is liberty a better choice? I've seen ppl using liberty for their planted tank and they said it's fine as long as the water lvl is near the output to minimise water movement

Be careful of shrimp jumping out if the water if too high. That's what happening to me now...

how come shrimps will jump? i tot they swim??? wat filter u use btw
