You can actually get the u-shape as a single piece from a glass company (even residential glass companies). The size of your U would fit perfectly into a general stock sheet most glass companies buy for residential glass, but that's generally 1/8" thick. If 1/4" is required, they can special order it, which means the company they buy their glass from cuts it from their sheet - which is roughly 12ft x 8ft, but you'd only pay for the glass you buy, not the entire sheet, and any good glass company shouldn't charge you much more than their cost, if any mark-up at all, especially if you are picking it up, etc.

I'm building my own bar with integrated aquarium, gonna use it for some Danios, Cories, a Kuhli loach, some Siamese Algae eaters, a shrimp or two and a Black Molly.
Wanted to make one aquarium but you've convinced me to make two smaller ones connected by a bridge. Would look prototype in a bar.
The fish won't freak out cause it's a home bar, no stress going on around them.
I'll keep the decorations simple with a couple hideouts for the loach, maybe sand instead of gravel.
I'll post pics when Ive completed the project.

+TheLightStudios Google search acrylic (or what ever) glass tank thickness. It all depends on the amount of water that will be in the tube.

You need to calculate water from the aquarium that is going to be pushing the glass, so anything over the tube, in the aquarium would be pushing the glass.

how do you clean this bridge? I saw that you could bareley reach with one arm into the middle. And what would you do if fish play "prison break" or there is something breaking, air gets in... basically the water should flow back into both tanks. so would it not be safer to built them a bit wider?

Water pressure increases with depth, but here you've created a way to reduce water pressure, by having a volume above the level exposed to the air.

This might actually prove to be a useful system for encouraging some fish species to breed, as many prefer to spawn during thunderstorms/heavy rains, to ensure their young aren't going to end up trying to survive through a dry spell or drought. Thunderstorms are the result of a low pressure weather system, which the fish can sense, even under the water, through its affects on their swim bladders.

If you could build a bridge - or just a capped off tube - high enough above the water surface (about 400 inches, to offset the 14.7 psi air pressure at sea level), you could end up with negative pressure, and the water would actually start cold-boiling into vacuum, otherwise seen as cavitation on boat propellers, where the extreme low pressure causes the water to turn to gas.

You don't want that or your fish will explode (although the tank would probably implode first, unless built to a similar standard as one of an equal depth).

For starters you can cut and heat the acrylic where you need to and then warp it's shape into something you desire, and then cut other pieces for making the sides and then seal those pieces on with with silicone, and/or use heat to seal them together.

It could as long as you stabilized the water bridge and adjusted the height lvls. If the bridge rested on the slightly higher tank edge, you would want to add something like a column or support to the bottom of the other end in the lower tank to make up for the difference.

+Din yes, water always contains air bubbles, and when temperature varies, it loses some of those bubbles that will go into the tube and lessen the vacuum. However, by the time you've lost a significant amount of water in the tube, the tube will be clear as mud and need a good cleaning anyway.

Hey Joey, I have a bridge done with PVC clear tubing. But the fishes are not going inside of it. They are freshwater small fishes, the tube is 3 inches in diameter. Do you have any suggestion about what to improve ? does this design facilitate the fishes "acceptance" of it ? the bridge is onle a few days old though. Do you know if they will get used to it and use it ? Thanks.

+Felipe M we have an upside-down aquarium in our outdoor fish pool. After cleaning the aquarium, the fish never go in it directly, but when the glass starts becoming greener the fish swim in it all day long. I don't know if this is because of the temperature difference (green glass means less sunlight shining through so more light converted into heat) or because the green glass makes the fish feel more at ease (like it would offer more protection against predators).

So that would be the two things I'd try: heating the tube gently, and/or putting some plants in it.

I've been mulling over an idea for a while and this project is similar, but not quite what I need. I was thinking about how to automagically separate different size fish from each other with one way valves. Using the bridge concept would facilitate that, but figuring out how to put it together is the challenge. You'd need two bridges, one to let the big fish cross, and the other to let the small fish back to the first tank in the event they swam over with the bigger fish. The second bridge would of course need to be a smaller diameter so the bigger fish could only move through tanks to the right of it for example. The issue I think would be finding a valve the fish could open by pushing against it.
steve cummins
steve cummins - 8 years ago
+DrDangerPuppy I guess smaller fish find it harder to swim against a flow. If so and there's a fairly rapid flow through a bridge, it should work as size dependent one way valve and block smaller fish from swimming against the current. All that would then be needed is a way to stop the larger fish choosing to cross bridge. Some kind of screen/mesh, in a wider section (where flow rates would be lower) to block the larger fish from using the bridge?
Ed  Beaman
Ed Beaman - 8 years ago
Do the tanks have to be level in order for this to work? I have 25 and 36 gallon bow front aquariums. I was thinking about having the larger one in the back and smaller one in front of it and about 1/2 off to the side and at different levels. Would love to bridge them together if possible.Please advise - thanks!
Sander Deryckere
Sander Deryckere - 8 years ago
+Ed Beaman the tops of the tanks will have to be equal, else you're only be able to fill one to the top, and the other one only to the height of the lowest aquarium.

So it does work with differently sized tanks, but only if you put the smaller ones higher.

baseballhunter42
baseballhunter42 - 8 years ago
Doesn't have the most efficient benefits. If you want your water to stay level, you put an auto topoff; this bridge idea lowers the water in both tanks at an equal ratio, doesn't resolve the evaporation problem. Putting a larger tank would have more stable water parameters, easier overall maintenance, provide a better overall tank to house fish, and more importantly having a better long term setup, which I don't see this as.

Sander Deryckere - 8 years ago
+MainsOnTheOhmsRange we use an upside down aquarium in our outdoor fish pool, and the fish indeed like to be there. But I have no idea if it's for the view or for the warmer water.

It's certainly nicer for us, as it gives the fish the freedom of being in a reasonably sized pool, while giving us a possibility to look at them like they're in an aquarium. Also, we don't really need to clean the aquarium. If it becomes too green, the fish will go in the pond like they were before.

I'm wondering.. can you, instead of sucking the air out of the bridge, pump water into the bridge instead?
baseballhunter42

Water would just drain back into tank because the tank isn't under pressure; I think. A vacuum needs to be started so the air has to be removed. Just use an airline tube.

My tap water is naturally very hard and I imagine the local place where I buy my fish use the same water as I do, but the workers that were their didn't have any answers for me casue apparently only the owner or the person who maintains it knows what they use for water and if hard water is a concern or not either way I Cant seem to find much about it anywhere if anyone can lead me to a place or answer the questions that would be great thanks!

From just siting up there and never being filtered?

If you have a canister filter you can put your intake in one tank and your output on the other tank and you will have a current going through your water bridge.  Or you can do this with a powerhead/water pump, just put the pump in on one of the tank and run a hose to the other tank and it will have the same effect.

can the legs going down be smaller or larger?
cr00sum
cr00sum - 9 years ago
If you mean the internal 'diameter', just remember you have to allow your fish enough room to turn around in there - maybe they change their minds, or other fish are coming along and they need to get out the way...

If you mean the length of the legs, you have to take depth changes due to water changes into consideration. If, for the purposes of illustration, your normal water level is 2 inches below the tank rim and you normally change out enough water to drop it another 4 inches, you'd want your legs to be at least 7-to-8 inches (2 inches plus 4 inches plus 1-to-2 inches safety margin) to keep the water in the bridge. If your water changes dropped the level by 8 inches, you'd need your legs to be at least 11 or 12 inches (2 inches plus 8 inches plus 1-to-2 inches safety margin).

Simply raise the shorter tank 2 inches from its base; or, level the bridge by creating a tall enough ledge on the side of the shorter tank; using acrylic or wood and Fill both tanks to the same height as the shortest tank.

To get good filtering you would place inlet on 1 tank outlet on the other. But over time the water bridge wil collect air what is the water bridge fails then you have got one big water mess any solutions ?
Jen M
Jen M - 10 years ago
Air bubbles do collect in the water bridge I have. Mostly because I have a waterfall type filter nearby with a 4 inch drop to the water.  After 4 days I have about an inch of air. I could go at least a week without failure. It takes a minute to suck the air out. If it wasn't for the filter's location air collection would be much more gradual. 

I can't think of a solution to eliminate all air. Entries to the bridge that are closer to the bottom would reduce the chance of air going in.

Amazing... Please do put in some fish and make a video of that... I also believe that if you use your drip irrigation system for water changes, with the inlet at one side, and the outlet at the other, it will work just fine..
as for the algae, i believe that your simple ceramic filter should keep the water clean enough...
And thanks for sharing this amazing idea..
And if you / i use an acrylic sheet for this project.. the tube can be made to bend at the sides, so the flow of water will be smoother..
Stephen Ruiz
Stephen Ruiz - 10 years ago
Joey, great video.  I was thinking of doing this for a filter sump type tank next to the main tank. So the sump would utilize the bridge to maintain the water level. I have seen this in aquaponics videos.  The sump would be a low flow and use sponge filters and maybe have some plants or isolated fish or babies in the smaller tanks.   This seems quite less complicated than a below the tank sump.  In the video you mentioned using a canister filter with input and output in the two different tanks. This seems to be the principle on all HOB filters.  Do you use this type of  same level with two tanks bridge for filter sumps?

Before I saw this video, I was planning a similar project to move water from my tank to my sump, then I would just pump water out of the sump and back into the tank.  Instead of using a glass bridge though, I'm using nylon tubing, and the line going from the aquarium to the sump is going to be long enough that I can use it as a gravel vac to clean my tank

Joey. How do you feel about the stress being put on each tank where the water bridge sits. Do you think the weight would cause enough stress to allow the sides to collapse in or out?
The king of DIY
The king of DIY - 10 years ago
That's a great question. Since the tanks are already full of water and under pressure due to it, you would think adding weight to the top would not be a good idea. BUT the water in the tank is challenging the glass's tensile strength(how much it will bend before it snaps), while the bridge is challenging the compression strength(how much it can be compressed before cracking.) 

The practical tensile strength of glass is is pretty low compared to it's compression strength.  Therefore, almost all glass failures are due to it snapping as a result of exceeding the tensile strength. 

This is why i mentioned that the most important aspect to setting this up is to insure the tanks are true and level to each other. Having them true will insure the bridge does not twist. Having them level will ensure the bridge only applies pressure in a compression manner and not on an angle which would cause tensile pressure. 

This bridge weighs about 80 pounds full. Have that weight on each tank means 40 pounds on each side. The tanks can handle this with ease. 

With all of this said, if you would like more piece of mind, you can simply build a small support stand and elevate the bridge off of the tanks so that it doesn't touch them at all. 

Hope that helps. :)

As mentioned in the video. I dont have fish small enough to swim in it. Imagine it as is.... then a fish passes by. ;)

As always thanks for the video. Though i would not want to make one to long as it would be impossible to clean inside it.

A magnetic algae scrubber would make short work of cleaning. However, since no really bright light will be directly on the bridge, cleaning it will be rare.

I did this with 4" clear pvc because I needed a 54 inch gap in between  40 gallon bow-front  tanks so my Tv could barley fit between them. Works pretty good for African Cichlids. They go back and fourth to tanks and takes them about a day to realize what's up with this tube dangling in the water.

Joey I love your vids, especially the coffee table aquarium. I have a question about your bridge. What do you do about water stagnation/lack of circulation?
The king of DIY
The king of DIY - 10 years ago
use a power head to circulate the water if your not using one filter for both tanks like i talked about in the video. :)

Heya Joey.

I think you forgot an important detail with your building method and the cleaning method of algae rubbers. The face that you would need approximately three of them to just clean that model type because of the overlapping glass. I think you should look after a method to create a strong Diagonal that allows the Algae scrubber to move from the lower glass side to the upper glass side where the lap exist so you only require one Algae scrubber with magnet.

I also think that this Waterbridge idea can be ideal to try Awaken "Wild" behaviours of the fish. Have one fish environment in one tank, another in the other. By this method you can simmulate the travel fish experience during period of mating in real world and therefore have one tank that is more ideal in environment for Breeding. For example, certain plants, stones, hide outs for eggs etc.

Magnet scrubbers can go around corners. Instead of attempting to go over the lip, go on another side and then come back to the side you missed.

I've been watching since pretty much the beginning and your videos look better and better, keep it up man!
The water bridge is an awesome idea, I'm thinking about building something similar for my turtle now :)
The king of DIY
The king of DIY - 10 years ago
My video editing will get better with time. Im still learning. Unfortunately, im taking you guys along for that ride as well. lol :)

I dont have anyone to manually do camera movements like that, so i have to edit it afterwards.  It was much easier than i thought it would be... "So thats how you do that!" is something i say every video while editing. lol

Thats a cool idea. Can you use this same idea for tanks on different shelves?
compwiz00
compwiz00 - 9 years ago
The water level on both tanks needs to be the same. If one tank is completely below the other, the water will promptly flow into the lower tank until the water level in the upper tank is too low to reach the bridge. This  bridge functions like siphoning water between two tanks.
The king of DIY
The king of DIY - 10 years ago
The bridge would need to remain level. Or at least would need to be primed with both ends submerged in water first.
