Aqua Water Bridge

[fatmrak315]

ok so me and my partner have been working and researching this for a couple of months and we finally have both 4f x 18in x 18in tanks working and connected by a water bridge.

we still got lots to. but what you think so far.

Looks very impressive! I have to admit, this is always something I have considered looking into in the future! Good job!

Blimey. Didn't realise members ^^^^ were now being sponsored

Interesting idea with the tanks.

not sure i get the whole concept really

why not just get an 8ft tank?

I suppose its unique. Yes a visitor may be amazed to see a huge fish tank, but 2 seperate tanks with a pip inbetween them, and fish swimming through... thats more eye catching if you ask me

Have to agree. I would be amazed to see a 8FT tank no matter what. But two tanks making 8FT with a place for the fish to swim between both... magic .

Done a good job there. Like what you have done

i am live in a flat, and we could not get a 8ft x 18in piece of cardboard in the flat without bending it and somehow i think if i did that to glass it would break. so a aqua bridge was the next best thing. and the fish love it.

What happens when you do a water change? doesnt it all just....fall out? Looks alright, but, dont see the point

I was going to ask that lol. Must be a lot more effort trying to maintain that!

 

[mattlee]

would it not be easier to bridge the 2 tanks through the sides by drilling and having a connection tube?

the fish could get through easier that way i would think...

 

[Tizer]

you could just mirror one side of the tank, it would look twice as big to the fish then

Cool concept. When I upgrade my salty reef tank from 90g to 180g, maybe I'll keep the 90 up and running and connect them like this. Have to agree with mattlee though, it would be easier to just drill the tanks, but that wouldn't work if they were already up and running, which I think is the advantage of the bridge.
