I think that design would be useful for keeping guppies and minnows. :eek:

Hello,

Yeah it appears they are using a heavy block of sturdy acrylic to suspend the weight of the tank, which probably makes cleaning a hassle. And I don't see where the filtration line goes. :eek:

Overall very cool setup though. I want to know how much one would cost.

I wonder if the fish can turn around or if they just swim upside down to get back to the other side of the tank. :rolleyes:

They probably just replace the contents every weekend like the flowers on the reception desk. :evil:

They could just do one of those turns the competitive swimmers do. My tang does it all the time. :razz:

It looks like most of the pictures are photo manipulations. The only one I think may be real fish is the first one.

This is one of those concepts a designer comes up with and tells some poor fabricator "Just build it, I don't want to hear about practicality!"

The tank probably holds more water than we think. Its elliptical. The center is probably about 12" wide. It looks at least 6 foot long. If you add some aeration and waterflow, it could probably work as a reef.

Terrible tank!

Looks good for about a week or two. My experience has been that narrow tanks are difficult to clean, scratch easily and do poorly for their unfortunate inhabitants. Classic example of asthetics over functionability.
I think 6 months from now they will have so very unhappy clients.

Maybe would work with little or no light and low oxygen lake species.
