Low tech cheap cherry shrimp tank

[Ca Nguyen]

Anyone ever try a 10 gallon tank with just a sponge filter and black petsmart gravel? I figure my tap water pH is 7.2, there's not much to worry about right? I got a few extra 10 gallons, sponge filters, and multi output air pump. Was thinking about a shrimp rack.

Also, how big should a sponge filter be for a 10 gallon shrimp tank? I mean, how much bio load could 100 shrimps output in 10 gallons?

Let me hear your thoughts and advices.

Sounds perfect, I think any size sponge would work just depends on the size of pump

No worry on pump then. It's rated for a 60 gallon tank. Guess i'll make a swing for petsmart tomorrow after adg.
