bottomdweller_fan Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 Here are some pictures of the river tank I created. The design is thanks to Martin Thoene at Loaches Online in his article Hillstream Loaches - The Specialists at Life In The Fast Lane. I did make a modification by only using one pump rather than 2. Contains - 3/4" water potable PVC pipe and connectors - 750 gph pond pump - sponges used in sponge filters - sand, mopani wood, driftwood, and lots of river stones Enjoy!

Fishful Thinking Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 Looks like it will be amazing. Glad to see that the tank is getting some really creative use outside of being stored in my garage! Well done, Deborah! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albertan Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 Very interesting. Keep us posted as you stock it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slough Shark Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 Well done, post it on LOL, I'm sure Matrin's always pleased to see his design being used/modified! Looking forward to seeing the hillies put in Deborah, Taylor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bottomdweller_fan Posted February 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 Is it stocked yet? What size is it? It is stocked but no one in the tank will stay still long enough to get pictures . There are 4 sewellia lineolata (hillstream loaches), a Schistura sp., a Neimachelus sp., 6 danios (5 ocelots and 1 long-finned blue), a Knight goby (who is very demanding at breakfast time), and a Gastromyzon scitilus (another hillstream species). It is a 40 gallon 36"l x 18"w x 15"h (or thereabouts). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
