Nice man!

Actually the filter is just nice for the tank. I have no issue getting stable and clear water. Shrimps also propagate like no business.

Hey AK47 bro, is it normal for the filter to have "GA LA GA LA" sound cause the tank is in my room... i scare later i will have a hard time sleeping. LOL

and the water got clearer now

luffy bro.
the ga la ga la sound means your filter suck in some debris or soil or soild mini materials that caused the sound . if it persist clear your turbine properly and put a sponge around the inlet as to not to have this kind of problems again
