Extreme Makeover - River Tank Edition

Amazing tank Emma!

I have a question.
Would that riverflow fit for clown loaches as well?
I do know that most botine species likes strong flow but I´m interested in clown loaches in particular. Would that system fit for a 150x50x60cm tank?

Thanks!

Marcos, the River-Tank manifold is home-built to whatever size one needs from PVC plumbing pipe and fittings.

Hi Martin,

I had already read that on the articles area. It´s a very fine project. I will consider that for the future.

What a nice filtration you got there!
Mine consists on two Tetra Whisper 60 (1252 L/h each) hang on plus a modular 6 stage intank filter with a 650 L/h powerhead that gives me some 7X filtration.

BTW, sorry for using metric units. Galons, Farenheit, inches are not comonlly used here in Brazil.

Thanks for sharing your video!

Hi Marcos and welcome to Loaches Online.

Thank you for your nice comments about my river tank.

Clown loaches love current, the more the better.

Terrific pictures, ... needed to look at them again...and again...

Do not worry about metric units Marcos. This is such an international community here that we just deal with it if it's not the standard in our country. Personally, I suffer from being of a generation that had its country switch to metric well through our formative education and now we are all messed up living with both things in our heads
