Hello AC. Thanks for taking the time to lend a thought on this subject.

I am currently using a BioCube 14 gallon tank for a freshwater setup, and I have noticed that the 137 gph circulation pump (for the wet/dry filter setup) seems to produce a water flow geared more toward a marine setup. Not to mention that most of the threads involving a BioCube list it as a nano-reef tank.

Am I just exhausting freshwater fish with this much flow?

Will species that come from swiftly moving streams like the danios I currently have in there do alright?

Are there any small cleaners (shrimp, oto's, etc.) that will survive a swift current?

I have some small snails that hitchhiked in on some of the live plants, but I was hoping to maybe introduce some others in the future.
 
Thanks MG. What kind of shrimp do you recommend? Are there any big enough to keep from getting sucked into the intake, or will I have to use something to restrict access? like pantyhose...
