River tank in Panta Rhei (Germany)

A crazy RiverTank based on a two layers concept with circular flow and using Gravity instead of pumps

[@ThisIsMe360vr]

perfect for hillstream loaches

[@TheMunkzilla1]

I'd pack this with hillstream loaches. Great tank.

Rainbow darter

[@kenjiro2676]

Hill stream loaches and gobies would love that setup, as well as a few species of dwarf rainbow fish and minnows

Darters

There's an overflow on the other side that drains into a sump and the process repeats. That's what he means by gravity; it still uses a pump to move to water back to the aquarium at that velocity.

[@yourlocaltoad5102]

There is no sump, the tank has a false bottom with two strong pumps in it, which move the water back. There is a video on the shop where this is located. The shops name is Panta Rhei

[@yourlocaltoad5102]

You can see the mechanism behind this tank in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d6K2eXyOnpyUiq8 The tank shown there is another one, but it uses the same mechanism and was even made with advice from the people that made the original tank.

It is the first time I see an aquarium with this concept. it is a verdejo piece of river in the house I love it

[@MattKeepsFish]

I guess you don’t need a filter 😂

[@pswanberg1]

Thats a very expensive tank of wet rocks and wood you got there...

[@StanTheObserver-lo8rx]

A lot of people who see this could get a similar effect with a large pump on a timer...give the fish 4 hours of very strong flow. Nobody does that..but would look great instead of the no changing aquarium we all have. I might try that one day.

[@pasidumadusanka5851]

What is pump is just like a river

[@StanTheObserver-lo8rx]

Well,it HAS to have a pump someplace. I can see the beauty in it..but some kind of diorama would help change the box look. Or plant foliage and diorama.

[@yourlocaltoad5102]

It has a false bottom with two strong pumps that move the water from one side to the other. On each end, there is a opening where the water flows down or up. So basically the water flows in a circle. 🔁

You can see the mechianism of a similar tank (which uses the same system to move the water) in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d6K2eXyOnpyUiq8

How did you do this tutorial please

[@rosco7232]

Bro this is amazing!

[@akhileshthapa_fishbro86]

Superb.

[@Chompchompyerded]

But where are the fishes? A few loaches or skulpins and some trout fry or fingerlings would be amazing in it.

[@Dontdalla]

That my friend, is awesome!

[@mikaelmattsson1207]

any fish in it?

[@Eltofi1]

depending on the need for show... it's a demo tank first of all... but when I was there, there were a few Panaque in it, yes.

[@josephscott4997]

That’s is so 😎 cool

[@fubar9214]

[@ΓεωργιοςΠαναγιωτου-ω3β]

[@rolbar9406]

THIS IS REAL BIOTOP.....NICE👍

[@PedroCampos-yb2xv]

where are the trout?😊

[@michelrood2966]

Tanks are suposed to calm a person. This one gives me anxiety. .

[@Eltofi1]

Well, as a naturalist, angler and fishhobbyist, I don’t agree with your statement. A river tank is as close as possible as a natural ecosystem. I am never do quiet and open to perceptions as when I am on a river side, especially in my swiss Alps rivers… But I absolutely agree that such a tank is impossible in an appartement or a house… too noisy, too much humidity, too much water… Maybe we could agree on the fact that this is a crazy project and a technical success, even for the Loricaridae inside it. It is an exposition tank in a Shop… meant to present some aquaristik devices

[@vivek-1318]

Awesome

[@JeremyB8419]

8ft x 2ft x 1ft?

[@kylesawyer64]

How many gph?

[@Eltofi1]

[@Eltofi1]

and they have more powerful pumps... and smaller too...

[@KevintheScienceNerd]

Where can I find more information about this tank? Are there others like it?

Waiting for someone to not get the joke

[@FKJ_WORLD]

hi are you from Germany?

[@Eltofi1]

[@FKJ_WORLD]

ok

[@Alexie-MC]

😍

[@Randy-ry9ss]

Slow down the flow and it is the coolest tank ever.
