It's only a 24 gallon long, with a lil sponge filter and pump as well as some good sandy substrate with a bit of added Stoney River pebble as well, which should be fine for eventual corys and/or bristlenose pleco. Following schools will depend on after plants and bottom-feeders arrivals, of course. If I end up with breeding shrimp or possibly smaller fish like dwarf oto catfishes and endler guppies (my two limited species for the 10 gal) I could move excess of those to the big one, and excess shrimps to a small one I've yet to have if I slip in a cheap 2.5 or something later.

An Easy Way To Get Clear Aquarium Water While Keeping Your Costs Low!

If you want clearer aquarium water without constantly replacing filter floss, this might be one of the easiest filtration upgrades you can make for your tank. Mechanical filtration is one of the best ways to remove floating debris and polish aquarium water, but a lot of hobbyists rely on disposable filter floss without realizing there are reusable alternatives that work surprisingly well.

For years, filter floss has been one of the most popular mechanical filtration media options because it traps extremely fine particles and leaves aquariums looking crystal clear. The downside is that those tightly packed fibers clog quickly, which usually turns it into a single-use product that needs regular replacement. Over time that can become expensive, especially if you run multiple aquariums, and many filter floss products also aren’t biodegradable.

A few months ago, I decided to test 50ppi foam as my primary mechanical filtration media instead of relying on filter floss. This is different from the 30ppi foam I normally use for biological filtration. The higher pore density of 50ppi foam makes it much better at trapping fine particulate matter, which allows it to function as effective mechanical filtration while still being reusable.

I’ve now been running 50ppi foam in several planted aquariums for months without using filter floss, and honestly, I can barely tell the difference in water clarity. The biggest advantage is that instead of throwing the media away every time it gets dirty, you can simply squeeze it out in old tank water, rinse it, and keep reusing it over and over again.
