From the looks of it I won't have to be cleaning this tank anytime soon. The water movement keeps the fish always in swimming in the opposing direction and a night they rest by sitting in this same direction, on the bottom, in a flock like vee formation. I've see visible comparative growth with the fish in this short time as a result. The pump's(center) bypass line is adjustable, so you can increase or decrease water current. I currently have a blower with large air bar in the FT even though it's not necessary as my DO's are normally almost at saturation.

lol... I had this exact idea man. How well do you find it works? Is the current strong enough where the fish need to be constantly swimming against it? For the setup im going with im going to have very high stocking density and so will have an air diffuser in the center of the tank and was thinking to align the return lines as you have to create a current... If not then buy one of those powerhead things to create a strong current.
