Aquariums: would a setup like this work? (for bettas)
i thought about their natural habitats (bettas) where they sit in tiered mountains that are watered via gravity and randomly thought about this. Only a dream right now, but i just want to see the masses opinions on it
Absolutely no hate I actually love this idea it looks really attractive my only worry would be how the water cycles, and this does remind me of these tanks that used to be sold before and did have problems I think.

Technically, how are you going to stop the water from the tank at the right, ending up in the tank on the left?
For example when the power goes out?

They’ll possibly spend their time jumping to the lowest one. There was a clip from a German fish show showing them do just that in a tiered tank with overflowing water between the steps.
It’s probably a natural habit, go to the lowest pond where the water is most likely to remain.
You forgot about huge sump to hold all this water in case of power failure.
Piping as shown here is a nightmare. Look at tank setups with sumps – they have a border that is limiting water flow when water in tank goes under specific level.

Edit: a show in Poland.
