Hey crew, If anybody on here has one of those fly testing tanks that enable you to watch a streamer's action up close, I'll buy it from you.... Message me. If not, Are there any other designs out there? can anyone recommend plans on making one? What kind of pump to get etc.

I think it would be quite easy to make one by visiting an aquarium shop, Brian. I maintained an aquarium at a bar once that that had an amazing flow running through it. Those fish were fit!

Cheers, Paul

A cheap 12 volt bilge pump should move enough water. The hard part is getting a laminar flow.
