You responded to my question about shell dwellers.

Ny question for you is on my filter intake buy a sponge filter, cut an x in the the filter and then slide my intake tube inside the sponge???? will i still get adequate filtration?? am i on the right track for what you were explaining? please help.

Thanks

Yes. After awhile the sand will settle as bacteria grows. You can remove the sponge if you want. Of course, if you are breeding, then I would leave the sponge on the intake.
You will need to rinse the sponge our periodically, but I promise, it works!

Hey Menagerie! I saw a van with a bunch of Red Devils stickers and a license plate. When I saw it, I thought of you
