River Tanks FTW..... loving it Gerhard!!!!! Let the fast flow revolution begin!!! Nice rocks btw...

 

Now just wishing I had space to do a 1.5Lx 40w x 30h in the same way

Tank would mostly be a functional tank for the fish so looks is a bonus.

Had some searching to do to find the rocks.

 

Yeah - a long stream tank also haunts my dreams.... one day!

Have you got the Sewelias yet? If so and when they breed(cos they will - just give them time...) - we can do a swop of some of your babies for mine.... My 1st spawning babies now coming up to sexual maturity.... My big male chasing one of his daughters around already....

Like the 3 species vs my collectoritis approach - nice one!

 

Not yet but looking to get them around the 16th. Will gladly swop you if mine do breed.

 

Nice I love the filter and flow setup
Well planned and looking sweet good luck keep us updated

 

Cant Wait to see the Tank with Fish in! It's looking awsume!

All the best!!!

 

great stuff man. just one thing thou when i tried this setup i always had a problem with the powerheads. naturally they would try to pull the water through the point of least resistance and that normally means them fighting against each other not giving of theier true flow. how it works for you, but from my experience if i ever did a system like this again i would run the pipes individually for each pump, just my 2 cents

 

Hey hey!

Very nice looking setup you have there so far bud!

 

So tank got packed away when we moved. I think its time to get it flowing again. Anybody got some fish that might be happier in my river tank

 

Great work. Keep the pics coming as it develops.

 

Haha nice try

Good luck with setting the river tank up again - looking forward to seeing it in its full glory!

 

Go for it Dude. Stunning set-up you had running. Pet Stop Wonderboom junction had some Beaufortias a week ago. Only a hours drive from you. Worth it.

 

Nice, very nice. Love the wood with the emersed moss on it

 

Fantastic tank mate.

 

Nice Tank

 

A very nice show tank
