Open Bottom tank

chefb_5 · 02-08-2010, 11:51 PM

Just a qestion? Could you have coral in a open bottom tank?

lr9788 · 02-08-2010, 11:51 PM

What do you mean by that?

Like no sand?

wireefman · 02-08-2010, 11:51 PM

do u mean substratre free? yes

chefb_5 · 02-08-2010, 11:54 PM

well it has a open bottom but it also has another tank in the middle going upwards and the water is siphoned in that so the fish can be aat the bottom or swimm upwards! if you don't know what i'm talking about look it up on youtube! it's would be a cool new way to have a coral tank if you could put coral in it!!

I think its actually is water pressure that makes the water go in the middle tank! that makes the water flow upwards! thakns agian chris88 my point to the tee!
