Re: Nuts ´n´ Trash (the big trial-waterbridge)
Imagine you could have clear pipes throughout the house where your loaches could come tour and check out the whole house.

Finally uploaded this video to youtube. It is a combination of clips of my clown loaches having fun in a high current situation. This is with a high pressure pump. As you can see they are challenged, curious and loves playing in the current. Keith, hope you get to look at at it as well. http://www.y...

The conditions for these clowns are: 300 gallon tank with the water turned over 46 times per hour, soft water, 10 ppm nitrate (though I have just changed my routine so that I now have a steady 20 ppm), 80 degrees F, three to four feedings per day of a variety of frozen foods, Martin's homemade froz...

Glenna, Barracuda518, Thanks for the compliments :) Glenna, I try not to get them fat but a couple of them get lots more than their share. I am working on an exercize program for them. lol. Also, they actually, for the most part and I will explain, get along very well with each other, good intuition...

Retrack the flow back to the koralia 8 I think that the koralia 8's have great flow volume but nowhere close to the power or force to be too harsh for clown loaches, even if it circulated 10,000gph. They are designed to push massive amounts of water but are not designed for or capable of head pressu...

Keith, Sorry i took so long but I just did some testing. The plants are totally in the way for me to do adjustments if any at all. The problem with the flow is it spirals and more so at the beginning. I did that purpousefully because the clowns would use the current + their torpedo shape+ the inner ...

Vance- Yes, concentrating the flow in a small area and not letting it spread out as you have, certainly does give you a strong flow. A calculation shows that if you have 1300 gph moving through a 4 inch diameter tube, the water is moving at a rate of 6.638 inches per second through the tube. That's...

Keith like you said but the reason I made the tunnel was due to the fact that it is near impossible to feasably create mother nature's environment in a fish tank. I tried the river tank but like we have concluded, it takes lots to move all that water to anything close to what the loaches can handle....

Thus I think that it is nearly impossible to get too much current for loaches in an aquarium. In an aquarium we cannot approach currents that occur in their natural habitat. . Keith, I believe this but I took it upon myself to create an environment where my loach has more current than they can hand...
