No Room for error there…
this is utterly amazing. I’ve never heard of this until I stumbled across it.
WOW. i want to try something like this…
you are great at style aquariums!
no, that seems just about right.
Is 3 swordtails 4 ghost shrimp 3 albino corys and 1 snail to much for a 20 gallon long tank with a filter for a 30 gallon tank
@nosyiam Yes I think. The fish will have too much stress and die.
Try getting rid of some ghost shrimp. They only eat/clean glasses so as the apple snails.
Other fish could eat smaller fish, so beware.
never seen one them
no, it’s fine =)
I think Ftprimp meant a plecostomus… not a catfish, though similar, pleco’s are usually more talented in the art of tank cleaning
LOL i tried to scroll up thinking i would see the top half of the tank. Fail
nothing would happen if the power went out, it is just like holding a cup upside down filled with water in a sink or tub. there would not be any pressure pressing on the upper part of the tank but the pressure pressing from the pond section holds the upper section up.
well that some shit i would not want, i would wonder what would happen if the power went out! Hopefully u put it out side or in the garrage or something, poor fishes!lol
how often do you clean the tanks?
@PoftheBR there ya go, for people who do not want to build from scratch and have the money, they could use a 40 gal long and 20 gallon tall in the center…
i said sucker fish not buttum feeder catfish DUUUUUH!
most catfish are buttum feeders duuuh
do some research before you say inything
I had a 15″ bottum feeder cat fish and he did not do shit I got rid of he cuz he did nothing good for the tank after he was removed the water health was better
just get 9 sucker fish!!!
there is a bottom part of the tank of glass that keeps the water up so its bascially an illusion since you cant really see the glass at the bottom.
pressure of the bottom tank is different from the top
The bottom has a also a cover of the botton tank so it also causes a pressure to hold up on water and even without the electricity it can stay balanced. Kinda like a illusion to your eyes. without the glass thats between the big tank and skinny one it would just *drop* down to the level of water on the button.
watchj my video it explains it on a smaller scale just click on my name to see the vid
LOL
I treid making one of these tanks and it works !! it is a pain to get it started but if u got right circulation and a good algae eater… the top tank (so far) hhasnt really gotta be scrubbed .
my tank isnt quite as nice as this one but I’m working on it…and I bet mine was cheaper.I paid a total of 28 buks for mine(glass cutter silicone and a hose.)(glass got free from the internet).Give it a try ,its not that hard.
click my name to see the vid of the one I made.feel free to commnt
You could place one tank upside down on risers, inside of another.
Negative pressure and a partial vacuum. Have you ever seen one of those dog bowls with a 2 liter bottle?
