Stream Setup

Post by DonkeyFish »

Stumbled upon this site, good stuff.
I remember someone was trying to figure out how to have a fast current stream-like setup (guessing it was Kero), but can't remember for sure.

Either way, here's the link.

And another related from the same author that had my head spinning about Hillstream Loaches (the part about hemoglobin and oxygen in red blood cells got me). Good stuff again though. Tempting...

The 75g Rainbow tank featured in the pictures for the Holiday Pot-Luck and one Quitarfish is set-up with a manifold system very similar to the one shown in the first attachment. It is very easy to build and maintain. I supplement the flow by having an Eheim with the intact on the same end of the tank as the sponges and return behind the powerhead.
