Callatya Posted October 28, 2007 Report Share Posted October 28, 2007 Impossible Tank same principle as the upside-down bottle pet waterers, I guess? What do you think? I don't know what I'd use it for, but it looks really interesting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

splendidbetta Posted October 28, 2007 Report Share Posted October 28, 2007 If the tank is not open to the air, i.e. the water is filled right up to the tank's ceiling, then the water will not gush out of the feeder openings in the side. If I remember correctly, this is due to an imbalance in the pressures between water and air. The tank is practically a vacuum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splendidbetta Posted October 28, 2007 Report Share Posted October 28, 2007 And yes I think it is doable on a smaller scale, but not for bettas or other surface breathers. Did you read the comments in that link? Some were helpful :giggle: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puggle Posted October 29, 2007 Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 They've got an air-stone in the little tank in the you-tube video. Wouldn't that mess things up? The air would collect in the top tank and eventually all the water would come out the bottom Waterchanges would be interesting. And possibly very damp :dance: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beano Posted October 29, 2007 Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 That's what i thought with the air stone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callatya Posted October 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 *baffled* OK, I can't see how the airstone works at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
divy Posted October 29, 2007 Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 wow thats soo cool i want one but you right puggle water changes would be interesting i think the air stone dosnt mess the vaccuum up because the tank has a built in vaccuum pump the holds the pressure but.. i could be wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
