Subject: Re: Setting up tanks for Pleco by nathangoudie on 31/1/2018 16:31:15 Wow didn't expect them to be that aggressive. So pleco are actually pairing fish like most cichlids? Apart from gold nugget and phantoms, are there any specie that will do fine in a group? For filtration I was thinking about using a pump that can pump 5000l/hour to filtration. Not sure if it will create a good flow though. I have drafted some filtration design... maybe it could work. The idea is: - one end of the tank will have a glass panel or something to create a small chamber (probably onyl 10cm). - The pump that pump water from the filter chamber (external) to the tank will be at the other end hopefully create a good flow (not sure if 5000l/h is good flow) which will hopefully flow all debris to the other end. - The flow should be strong enough that when the flow hitting the other end glass, it will create a upward flow and push all debris up in the chamber and trapped in there instead of flowing back into the tank. - Airstone could be added here to create more upward lift as well as oxygenate - Overflow will be placed in this chamber and skim all debris float to the surface taking them to the filter chamber (external container) ===> not sure if it works. I think i will post my design for advise. |
