Riovale "Upstream" Setup

[Edmundo]

See others do, so IBS also set one up. Why is call upstream? cos the tank is at the top of a 3tier rack............ LOL

What i used:
1) 2x1.5x1.5 tank
2) Tetra 90
3) 5kg dennerle red quartz
4) Rocks
5) PVC pipes (as cave) 40mm cut into half
6) DWs

Here's the process like...............

so glad it does help abit...........cos im like a blind banging ard. Btw, i uses rocks to block the back of the PVC pipe creating a single opening cave. As these rocks has uneven surfce, it does creat some crevices for moderate water flow thro' these "caves". :)
