    For those who are familiar with aqua bridges (acrylic or glass bridges that connect multiple tanks together) I am going to attempt to attach my 46 gallon reef tank to 2 addition 20 gallon tanks.

    My question is the water in the bridge, is there any current or does that water just sit there? Would I be better off to just set up a syphon to and from each tank?

    Love the idea of being able to have fish swim from one tank to another!

    When you said aqua bridge, I was thinking you would have to drill big holes in the sides both tanks and the silicone an acrylic tube between them! I was going to wish you good luck with that, but now that I see the idea, it looks really easy to do!
