[acronym:972d31cb89="By the way"]btw[/acronym:972d31cb89] for these kind of tank/s do u require a filter at both parts?

happyhillbilly · 07-30-2005, 02:01 PM

Yeah, there was a post with something like it last year. Could you please post the link to where you got it?

I've seen a similar one with a much larger single connecting tube - about 6" internal diameter. Something else I've seen that is neat is a long thick tubular tank - think 3 large coffee cans end to end, with small tanks on each end to provide places for filtration and feeding, etc.

When tanks are bridged it the filtration is usually spanned accross both sides.. in other words the input is put in one tank and the output is put in the other forcing the filtered water to flow through the tubes...

These were popular and somewhat common here in the early-mid 1980's, but I haven't seen one in the past 10 years or so.

I got a link from the Lounge a couple months ago called something like the Fish Expressway. I downloaded the pics, but can't find them on the computer right now. There were people who had a tank on one side of the room and another on the other side of the room and acrylic tubes connecting them and the fish swam between the two. Try searching AA for it.

Whats the point? Wouldn't it make more sense for it to be one big tank without all that wasted air in the middle?
