Mad stuff, Great Duff
The fish look really relaxed, it makes sense to add some "calm swimmers" to loaches, as loaches are always so busy.

That is a really nice tank!!! You have done a great job with the everything from filtering and current (I was glad to see what pumps and filters you have in another recent thread) to decor and stocking.

Well Done MD.
I checked out your other clips on Youtube. Very Impressed!
Do you have any problems getting a current in your long tank? I mean can you use a river manifold in a 8 footer?

You could use a manifold in a big tank and I was going to but the problem I would have had was removing the power heads and filter canister for cleaning with the tank been so deep, I would really have had to silicone the manifold in place first which again would have been awkward.
I have two powerheads at one end that send a strong flow just over half way down the tank and then I have a slightly bigger powerhead in the top back corner aiming at the front of the tank about 18" from the end of the tank and that causes a rotating effect which seems somehow to increase the flow around the tank, and then of course there are the two spray bars above the water aiming at either end aimed towards the opposite end.
