Bringing a nuke to a knife fight

Specs:

22 gallon long aquarium, approx 14 gallons of water on account of 3” deep substrate layer (Fluval Stratum) and hardscape

So these damn snails produce too much waste for the in-unit filters (AquaMiracle SV-500 and three Hygger sponge filters) to handle. Full clogging of the SV-500 within two days of cleaning, reducing outflow so much that there wasn’t enough lift power to get water up into the water dish of the terrestrial section.

My solution? Remove the SV-500 and its housing (which took up about a gallon and a half of volume, so the critters have some extra space now) and replace it with a Fluval 407. The outflow is still directly tied to the water line that leads to the terrestrial section plus a small rain pipe to split the flow. And, in the name of extra redundancy, I have the filter sitting in its own 5.5 gallon aquarium on the floor in case of leaks. I also 3D printed an intake housing that I’ll be shoving a bunch of filter floss into, to protect the shrimp and my aquatic isopods

The terrestrial section’s isopods (Giant Canyons and Giant Oranges) and plants have been doing well, especially now that the rain system is up-and-running, and I’ll be adding the Buffalo Beetles in a week or two since I need to see how everything fares with the remaining heating and light elements installed (the enclosure currently has two Arcadia Shadedwellers for UVB, an Arcadia GoldenSun on the basking spot, and a ceramic heater for additional minor ambient day/night heat on colder nights, and a 90w SeaOura LED lamp as the daylight bulb, with its 50w equivalent for the aquarium section)
