Building a FishTower in the Pond

Why would an Aquarium only fir inside? I made one in my Pond, sort of Watch Tower, or Panorama Suite for my Pond Fish. Easy to make and.. They love it. Watch yourself. Edit: Material used: alfer®combitech® system connect 23.5 mm and Dennerle Nano Cube 60L Edit: To improve stability it is recommended to make the legs connected below the same way as on Top. Only 4 legs was shown not stable enough, Placement in the pond then requires an even ground to avoid tilting. B.T.W.

It’s a basic demonstration of the forces of nature. Molecules of air in the atmosphere push on everything and the force exerted by this is roughly one kilogram per square centimeter.
Sealing the top of a straw with your finger stops air entering and exerting a downward force on the liquid, leaving only the upwards force of air pressure from below.
This upwards force is stronger than the force of gravity pulling down on the liquid. Take your finger away from the straw and the downward force of the air pressure on the liquid will be the same as the upward force.
These two effects cancel each other out leaving gravity as the dominant force causing the suspended liquid to drop out the bottom.

The dome is pushed down into the water as more air is sucked out. The only difference in this video is the glass box is pushing against the frame instead of the dome pushing against the buoyancy of the floatation ring. The tank is more likely to fall due to one of the frame legs slipping on the pond floor. Though in all fairness I'd say that was quite likely in itself.

One other thought I had was would it survive freezing in winter. I suspect not as the tank is glass so I think I'll remove it before it gets too cold. What do you think?
I take mine out of the water in the winter, freezing would break the glass for sure.

.i hope they recognize the system...
Lol no.
He vacuumed air out, the water naturally takes its place. The water has dissolved oxygen in it, you can't take that shit out with a vacuum.
First of all: What a great Video!
I work for Videosnacks (facebook.com/VideoSnacks) a big Facebook Page in Germany. Would it be ok for you if we created a video based on yours? We would credit you, of course in the Video and the comment section!
Let me know what you're thinking!
Cheers, Jonas

We will credit you and you will maintain all copyright.
Take care,

A couple of questions come to my mind, my apologies if they sound stupid:
-Under a sunny day won´t the fish be on danger due to the increase of the heat through the glass? would they just dive out of it looking for deeper, colder waters?
-Won´t that area run out of oxygen eventually? If that is the case have you come up with a solution to that, like emptying and refilling the tower automatically every, let´s say, half an hour?
Thanks for your time

2: Same as above, the water is always in movement, either due to the temperature, or due to the fish moving in and out

Do you think i can reuse some parts of your video to make a short one and publish it on this Facebook page : https://www.facebook.com/ideesinteressantes/ ?

STAN: "Don't be daft man! It's just an optical illusion."
JEFF: "You're the daft one! I've always said there was something beyond the shimmering top of the world that rains down flakey food."
STAN: "Nope, we are the apex of all creation. Ideas like yours is how Brian created religion, now where did that get him?"
JEFF: "But Brian's happy and it appears he was right all along!"
STAN: "Maybe, but he's a jerk, because he thinks he's right."
JEFF: "Yeah, but you think you're right."
STAN: "No I don't."
JEFF: "Yes you do."
STAN: "Nope."
JEFF: "Whatever. Hey Brian! Look at this!"
BRIAN: "I know right?! I told you! Who was right all along!? That's right, me! Suck it!"
JEFF: "sigh."

, You lift that? Without breaking? You must be King Kong
If this is what's happening, we'll know when the fish go cross-eyed and start flapping their fins like brain damage.
2-3 weeks
the fish experience negative pressure when going up the tank?
At the surface there would be basic nominal pressure, the deeper they go
there would be more. So when they go up the inverted tank it should go
negative ... right?
Looks amazing!!
