The Fish Highway
By Luke • Feb 16th, 2008 • Category: Blogs and Ramblings
There are a few photos floating around the net right now regarding a pipeline fish tank, or a fish highway. The fish highway is a concept that uses suction to elevate water out of a fish tank into an upper container.
I also recently posted a video of an open bottom aquarium that uses pretty much the exact same type of concept, just executed differently. This is interesting stuff.
As an aquarium hobbyist, I would actually rather not delve into this type of setup myself. There seems to be a decent amount of risk for a water spill. And when the water spills, there will be a lot of water spilling. I have a hard enough time maintaining a simple 75 gallon tank.
Read more about the fish highway here. Also of particular interest is the patent on the fish highway concept that is available on the site.
Luke is the owner and caretaker of a 75 gallon aquarium in his home studio. Good times.
