Is an air pump with a sponge filter attached sufficient for small invert tanks?

Thanks. Any recommendations on brands or models? I'm also trying to find a shelf or stand that can hold multiple tanks. I found one, but I can't find any specs on how much weight it will support. http://www.petsolutions.com/Mixed-Media-Series+I64200020.aspx

I use these sponges: http://www.kensfish.com/files/hydro__2.jpg
And a suitable air pump (I run one large one and a gang valve so its one pump for 6 tanks).

Snail tanks tend to be overfiltered due to the amount of poo they produce.lol
