I just got a 245 gallon aquarium thats 8ft long. I have two questions. One I want to make it a more riverine set up and not just do 50% land on one end or whatever percentage, has anyone else set up a tank like this? Second are there any good filtration systems out there that sit in tank I am using a repti-filter one now
Thanks

I have not set up a tank like this. However, I did read about a fish tank that was set up for riverine fish. Instead of building a background they built a center island of sorts into the tank that has water on all sides. Pumps were set up to circulate the water in a circular motion around the island area.

When you say a river tank I think current. I'm not sure if this is what you were getting at.

I know little about pumps, sorry.

yeah cuurents plus caimans love the banks they use the river with cut banks to kinda have an underwater cave so I def want the idea of the banks incorporated. but that kills a lot of the long term viability as he grows. also trying to figure a way to keep it light as it already weighs so much and long term water tight. need to build a lid also preferably lightweight but more durable than just screen. Any insights help thanks
