River Tank Setups

Shark Teaser · Post by **Shark Teaser** » 23 Apr 2003, 18:20

has anyone out there ever done a river tank or even a more elaborate river setup like a garden pond that simulates a river? it seems that such an environment would make plecos feel right at home.

Thats a nice link, Silurus, thanks. Anyway, I have a river set up for my zebras. I have 2 powerheads on one side with the intakes on the opposite side. They are connected using PVC pipe that goes underneath the gravel.

heres some pics of mine. it has a few kinks but works pretty well. it would work better if it had two pumps and if i could find 150 micron reusable cartridges.

My setup is similar to ClayT101's, it's still not done, but pics give an idea as to the plumming of it. I've since added 2 more powerheads and intake filters. I have to upload new pics, but they are on my home system, that I had to send back to the dealer for a "warrenty issue".
