No probs Rob
I think all the pipework for mine, cost me under £10
I already had a 1200 l/h powerhead going spare, so that saved a few pennies!!
Will try and get some pics of my set-up, whilst I'm in the middle of setting it back up after moving house.

This also has a nice parts list and how it looks in pieces.

My thoughts on this are..... no, not really. My L333's breed with or without flow. Admittadly, they do like the flow, and are often seen swimming on the spot, right into the flow (but only after lights out when they get brave
).

I was just wondering if the the filters were in enough quanitity? I have tried to use these types with powerheads and find that they want to suck up the filters.... Looks like a great idea, is it working?

I would have to guess, overtime, they would fill up with gunk and would be a PITA to clean. It would be much easier to use canister filter with spray bar on one side, and the intake on the other...
As you can see from
my other post, my river setup is very simple and easy to maintain....
