I think it's a d**m fine one, I've already made it my first resolution for 2008, and now I've got the rest of 2007 to practice to make sure I'm really good at it

They look cool, but I can see some problems...

1. Can't perform a large WC.
2. Water in the tubes are probably stagnant. You won't be able to use a powerhead in one end to push current through the tube, becuase you will be pushing more water through. The tank on the other end would overfill.
3. Cleaning the tubes. Sure you can use a magnetic scrubber, like a Mag Float, but you probably have to be careful NOT to shift the tubes around too much.
4. Fish may be able to shift the tubes when they are in there.

I've seen this before, and iirc, they have the filter intake in one tank, and the return in the other tank, so the water is constantly flowing...

Which is why the fish go into the tubes, they get sucked into it
