Good idea for them to be in a tank with current?

Was thinking about rigging up a DIY jet system and give my sultan pleco current as well too?

It should be fine, as long as there are some calm places somewhere where it's hiding (usually under a piece of wood or rocks).

if you place a large enough rock infront/near the output jet, there should be a calm spot behind it.
