90 gal tub tank idea... will it work?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
your top view is not consistent with the side view. but, based on your side view, i don't see why it wouldn't work.
however, i would suggest you set it up with one or two larger filters such as canisters. have the intake in one of the end tubs, and have the output in the opposite end tub. that way, you get a natural flow of water through the pipes and avoid stagnant waters.

is this going on the floor? gotta big strong table? what're you doing for lids/hoods? if you're gonna be drilling holes into the tubs then you might as well drill extra holes near the bottom of each and put in a tap to make changing out the water easier.
 
i just did a quick making of it in paint.... i wanted to pvc pips side by side so fish could swim back and force and water moved... i'm new with canisters never used before... could u explain where to get/ make one?
 
i see no fault in the logic of the pvc pipe between the two tanks but just make sure u seal them up real good
 
Ive seen plenty of comercial acryllic tanks with connecting tubes before...A LFS in AZ has 6 or 7 300 gallon tanks connected with tubes and the fish swim in them. I don't see any reason it wouldnt work but I agree it would be best to create an a cross flow with a canister. that would take a fairly large one....an FX5 comes to mind but a pair of 404/405's might work as well.
 
i dont kno a single thing about canisters... where can i get/ find them? how much? i'm kinda new to the whole fish keeping things... only been doing it liek 4 or 5 months now but i love it... so any tips at all would be helpful
 
If you are trying to do it like this to save money you need to price the fittings..... you will find that it's cheaper to buy a used 90 gal set up.
