The Macquarium would impress me a lot more if it was made out of the glass of the screen instead of just the case around an acrylic aquarium.
That water bridge blows my mind. I can NOT figure out how they get water in it initally. If I build an acryllic aquarium for my computer desk, I may put one of those bridges in on the bottom side of the unit... the only thing is, I'd like to have one that weaves all over the desk. I'm also a bit clueless on how to clean it out... maybe a long pipe-cleaner brush.

| How do you get the water up there? This is a question that I was always asked by first time visitors. I often said " I place my head under water and suck on the one end." And it makes them even more inquisitive. Getting the water up there is very simple. You turn the water bridge upside down so that the openings are facing upwards. Preferably outside, and fill the bridge, until there is no air in the tunnel or in the elbows or extensions. Do not forget the anti-chlorine. You then screw on the end caps allowing as little air as possible to be trapped in the extension pipes and tunnel. When both caps are secure, you can go inside and at the very last minute, flip the bridge around that both of the entrances are under water. Unscrew the caps that are now under water. |

I was going to make one a while back, but the price of clear pvc made me choke.

I recently went on a plane flight and saw a magazine called 'Sky Mall'. While looking through it my wife and I saw a neat little aquarium. They we're coffee tables and end tables. They we're made of glass and appeared very sturdy. They had a sort of undergravel filter, and the light was under the gravel so everything glowed. I'll try and find some pictures!

That is cool, my son emailed me some pics, it was a pic of a whole office in
cubicles, that had aquariums in front of thier desks. Like I do. They were not sectioned off, they were all toghether. I didn't save the pic but I think it was on ebaums or milk and cookies site.
He sent it to me cause of my desk here at home!!!
Let me know if you find the pic that I am talking about ^_^

I showed Sergeant Major a picture of an office that had a 'wavy' looking tank that ran the length of their desks. It was like one giant desk and the aquarium went from one end to the other. It was really cool looking.

MAZZA! I went to look for that pic and couldn't fine it! My son emailed it to me before I posted that. I think it was on ebaums or milk and cookies! He sent it to me cause my desk has all my aquariums on it.
