Brilliant Aquarium

[Mik]

Hey folks I found this on the web (Looking for mouse traps funny enough) anyway, I think it possibly the best aquarium setup I've seen but I can't work out how they are able to keep the water in the top half, any ideas?

On the mouse trap thing, I found this one amoung the search results....holy mother do these things hit fast or what!!!

Cool aquarium

I am not smart enough to know the scientific principle behind it.

They fill the upright piece of tank full of water put a lid over it hold tight

turn upside down & remove the lid when it is under water, try it with a glass

of water in the sink.

The thing is the tank has a airstone running within it..which means the water would be displaced because of the air. Hows the water meant to get back in? =\

As for the awowana, impressive but its probably something i wouldnt do =] crickets and meal worms and small fish would be the extent for me. However it probably is one of it's natural prey...in the wild. Too bad you cant import them into australia.

I'm no expert here, others may correct me on this or at least clarify it, but I am pretty sure Awowana's are related to & very similar looking to the Sarotoga. Sarotoga can & are kept in aquariums but I would think it would be a fairly dedicated owner for these fish as they sound pretty hard to keep.

Can only assume the column of water is held up by being balanced against a vacuum generated by a small vac pump in the top of the column. This would also allow the air bubbles to float to top and not cause the water level to drop in the column because of the vacuum being maintained at the top.

My guess anyway

How many mice have you got Mik, I reckon if you keep them alive somewhere we'd save a heap on squid and big john next time you come down to Brooklyn

I'm pretty sure St George Aquariums still has 1 or 2 big Arowanas in their display tanks.

Ummm, mate the mice have found a batch of steroids somewhere, turned into things only very large Murray Cod could get their mouths around!!

I duplicated a tiping tube trap into a bucket, only on a large scale in a 44 gallon drum for my shed, feckers are getting into the boat again. I haven't caught one yet but its just a matter of time till I get the trap fine tuned, then all I need to worry about is how much an industrial freezer will set me back so I can transport the buggers to Brooklyn for us....... Oh my God, just had a vision of the monster Jewies we'd catch on that bait

Thanks Dicko, sounds a bit too complex for me & my goldfish
