I have my eyes on a tank which i can divide into three quarters for bettas as have tanks all over the place so would like just one with my two current boys and a new new who my mate is looking after for me. :shifty:
But what i cant seem to get my head round is how to filter such a tank do i need three seperate pumps for each section, one biiiig pump to send the flow through all sections or would a UG filter underneath the whole tank with the dividers lying on top work i already know the heater will be in the middle so heat can disperse evenly its just the filters that are doing my head in ATM.

Cheers in advance :good:
 
which devider's...if glass you will deffo need a filter in each section, if those plastic mesh/net one's you should be ok, but could always add a powerhead to blow through, but if its for betta's they wont like that one bit
 
here's what i did with mine and heat is the same in all 4 sections
there's a small hole in the tube above the 2 middle sections and the rest goes into the end section so filling that one forces the water flow back through the other sections
