Best Filter For Shrimp Tank

[Dutsey]

Hi

I am thinking of using my Aqua 320 as a shrimp tank but would like to know what the best filter would be?

Any filter is fine for a shrimp tank. You need to make sure that the shrimp can't get sucked into the inlet (you can put a piece of old tights across the inlet or a piece of sponge. Sponge filters are best for shrimp (a powerhead with a tube with holes in with a sponge around the tube), but I've just got a little normal internal as I have loads of plants and wood etc for them to feed from and I feed them algae wafers, peas, courgette etc.

cheers

I am using a Eheim Biopower 160 in my 80 litre shrimp tank,with the Intake covered with a piece of tights.
I have seen the baby shrimp on the filter mesh and watched them swim away,The Biopower is on its Minimum setting.
Thinking about buying another one for my new 55 litre shrimp tank.And selling the Eheim 2008 that the tank comes with.
