I've had gread success with a type of flying fox known only to me as a thai
flying fox. These are not the big buggers you usually see in pet stores;
they get only two to three inches. I put 6 in a ninety gallon full of bown
and filamentous hair algae. I gave the algae a cleaning and the foxes kept
it from coming back. They're constantly eating off the plants and
driftwood. I don't know the scientific name of these guys yet. I asked the
wholesaler from whom I ordered them and he has yet to get back to me on
this. They're kinda hard to find, but well worth your effort. If you can't
find any, email me and we'll work out a way for me to send you some.

If you get a Tetra Luft pump, you won't have any trouble running ten sponge
filters. In fact, you could run more if you wanted to.
FWIW
