From what I can understand from you setup is...Your top tank with shrimps (higher grade?) over flow to the bottom tank (with shrimps too?) then only into the canister filter...So I assume that...The canister is the only filter you have for the setup with 2 tanks? Am I right?

Yes. To be more exact, it is 2 canister filter in series, one to house mechanical filter media and one to house bio rings. I usually clean the mechanical filter without affecting the bacteria.

Just my thoughts thou...

Planted with mostly moss and fissiden. I guess that it is not really helpful for nutrient export compared with stem plants.
