+Noah Schuler so I suck the air out or in?

Mark Blake Make a zone of low pressure so the water will be able to rise into the upside down container.

XD

hahahaha ewwww

Yummy

LMAO!

Wade HAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA 😂

LMAO

Does that look like a face with mercy!

hahahaha

Nice kristen stewart inpression tho

Lookin' like Jesus.😂

Typhoonbladefist lol you just shut down half of the commmenters

good one yaar👍

or scoop water out of the main chamber until it acts like one of those automatic pet water dishes. Or put your bubbler under it and watch it slowly displace the water and slowly overflow your tank onto your carpet.

Common sense should tell you to remove some water first

😂😂

Hey Matt ! Hye, I'm a big fan of you and now i will improvise this project and combine it with Smart IoT system. Because.... we can ! This is cool to see you commenting back then having the same interest. And now looking back to it really makes me admire and inspired even more to publish DIY contents just like you. 🎉 - Faiz Kreiobotics from Malaysia

Alltime10s wat

Alltime10s lol why are you here?

Alltime10s Ha

JimboTheGreat33 I agree. I hate when people have to give a speech before they show anything.

yeah, I think that he should make a rubens tube don't you? everyone loves music and flames

HouseholdHacker like yours but maybe a 2 dimensional version...

HouseholdHacker Thanks for posting! That is indeed a great idea NightHawkInLight is presenting in his video.

Why am I reading the comments I don't even own any eyes

Sean Huynh Me too

and circular tanks are horrible for fish

your a dick

Casey Swanson .... you're*

Lol damn, doesn’t matter what the topic is. There’s alway someone that gets triggered 🤣

IGW2 i mean its not really circular, just a cool little extra part/chimney they can swim up to from the bottom rectangular tank

Will the water in the added jar have reduced pressure? why? This is genuibe question btw

kintokisa The water in the upturned bowl has weight, which is pulling down on the top of the bowl. If he takes the pipe out of his mouth the weight of the water would suck air in rapidly. (In fact it is the external air pressure forcing air into the pipe to displace the water.) If the bowl was a 22m high pipe the weight of the water column would be enough to form a vacuum at the top. The exact height depends on the air pressure at the surface of the aquarium water which is in fact pushing the water up the pipe. (This is the principle at work in a mercury barometer in fact, but mercury is much heavier and will rise less than a meter.) A fish swimming at the top would basically explode as if it was in space. At lower pressures less gas (e.g. CO2 and O2) will be able to dissolve too. Probably not a problem as long as fresh water can circulate into the dome. Hope that helps :-)

i dont think it bothers them. none of my puffs exploded. ive seen fish towers 5' high. it is amazing the weight of it, so you need the stand to be strong and stable

Peggy Thomas Executive Director PUFFER CORPS Ouch :-O That's about a 15% pressure drop I think, which would pop my ears. Thinking about it though, most lake and ocean fish will be diving at least 10m down (possibly 100m+) then coming back up which doubles then halves the pressure on their swim bladder and I know fish aren't getting the bends, so maybe it was a silly concern :)

not at all! i worry about my puffs having separation anxiety. better to make sure. those fish depend on you. :)

😏

Humorous Pun

Even on the other side?

that makes no fucking sense

Hi shrek

How can this make no sense if obamas term ends in 2016

Sherk Teh Orge Because ice cream doesn't have bones...

Because smartphones are dumb

you can also just turn the upper container sideways and fill it with water. then turn it vertical and slowly lift it up and slide the blocks underneath. Just make sure not to lift it high enough to raise above the water level.

That would be a very quick way to do it??!!!

Gerald Ander Lee thought the same thats what I did .

Gerald Ander Lee takes a lot of strength for such a large vase, also, risky, as the glass vase wasn't meant to hold pressure

Gerald Ander Lee I think Baloo Bear is right. If your glass vase has a weak spot it can probably break with that pressure.

Unlikely, glass is quite strong. I've done this with a 2 gallon jar before and it was fine.

If you're doing that method in an already decorated/established tank the process of flipping it over will disturb the other decorations/fish you have in your tank. You can also keep the outside of the glass dry and clean with this method.

+Nothing\ yes!! he does!!! loool

@@maereslater795 If Will Wheaton ran a Bait shop

you can just put the bricks in the tank, fill the tank all the way up and then add your suspended tank or vase. because you just move the water from the tank to the vase ,noting should overflow when the water from the vase flows back in the tank

TheHarleyEvans wouldn't this be more dependent on how much space O2 and CO2 take up? Or perhaps the concentrations of O2 and CO2 in the water? Chances are the fish breathe out more CO2 than the plants make O2, and in any case, CO2 takes up more space than O2. Relating to your thought may be the circulation of water... rather, the circulation of air and the pressure at the top of the vase. If air in the water in the vase didn't circulate at all with the air in the tank, then any fish that goes up there would die after some point due to lack of oxygen. But that probably doesn't happen because the air pressure equalizes across the tank and vase. But this brings up another problem, the pressure of the water in the vase. The water wants to go down, and air wants to go up. This may cause the air in the water to go up to the top of the vase. So I suppose the problem of water being displaced by air in the vase is still there.

joe chu hats all well and good but the oxygen released from aquatic plants doesnt immediately dissolve into the water again, it bubbles and the floats up, then it doesnt dissolve and the buubble in the top of the compartment wil just grow and grow

bettas go up to the surface to gulp air, maybe that would help p:

joe chu wouldnt help the water that WAS at the top flowing out of the tank

I like his face and voice.

I like his videos :D

ChauNyan I like everything about him.

I like everything about him, AND his fish!

Caspar Abelmann Suck up! lol

+youngchris209 No, you blow air in when you want to empty it.

+youngchris209 yes you must drink it all.

ok

+John Doe shut it ! You troll

+youngchris209 forced? more like privileged!

Once the water gets below the level of the jar, just enough would come out to get it back to the level of the jar, stopping it. This would repeat over and over again until the jar is empty. The water wouldn't suddenly empty, it'd only empty enough to reestablish the vacuum in the jar.

How and why ?

eww blood parrots

why, they are hybrids, thats it

LUL

update: they all died

Dang..RIP watdaNOSTRIL

+watdaNOSTRIL That wasn't a happy ending at all!

+watdaNOSTRIL plot twist: you died

Nikolaj The water is connected to the rest of the tank, and it's just a bit of a low pressure zone. Not a worry as long as the tank is oxygenated.

Nikolaj It will be fine if it has an air pump, or if the inhabitants are labyrinth fish

***** an air pump might inadvertently ruin the effect by introducing air bubbles.

curly sue I just pulled on it

+NightHawkInLight dats wat she sed

+curly sue He got an octopus to reach up into it.

+curly sue Witchcraft

+curly sue The fish helped him

Is the water wet?

***** Good point, seems to be viral!

Taylor Smith Is the water oxygenated all the time? Did you chlorinate the tap water (distill it)? Did you let them get use to ur water? Is your tank in a nitrogen cycle? And this is why it's hard to keep fish lol xD

Hilgert Bos Yeah, can't have viruses in the water can we?

***** Dechlorinate, and you wouldn't distill it, you'd buy something like vitamin C tablets. Distilling water isn't really viable for most people, although distilled water will do well.

+Missy Susan "you is"

hahal i'm mean is i'll like you this video. >,

Water weighs a fair bit--8lbs to the gallon--making it easier to use pneumatics to aid in the process of filling up the compartment. Also, sticking hands and arms into the water adds more contamination that just the clean vase, tape, and tubing alone.

why not do what you saw in the video?

because there is an easier and quicker way

it's easier to draw a vacuum with your mouth rather than lift a couple of pounds? now we know what you do in your free time...

Ezra Pali yup! Always blowing people, 24/7!

Allen Engasser It'd taste like the freshest damn sardines you'd EVER had. ;)

Jesse Crandle but the fish poop!!!

Allen Engasser Allen, we all have to eat a little shit before we die. ~_~

Jesse Crandle *Dies laughing*

Allen Engasser Chances are you just cleaned the tank though.

seigeengine Could you build a plastic cover for the top of the tank, and then make a cutout for the vase? The lid could be anchored to the sides of the tank, and could even be clear plastic to be able to see in through the top.

Ryan Padua You could, although I'd be a bit worried about ventilation, especially in the case of a power outage or the like where the pump doesn't work. I don't know how much of a difference it would make, but in nature bodies of water are aerated by movement and wind blowing across and agitating the surface It should help the fish survive longer.

Our tank has a system that circulates our water through an oxygenator (probably a word) in the basement, but we have a larger tank than this one. My cousins have a tank with a bubbler and air holes in the top, so that should be fine for a tank of this size. Also, I wouldn't be too worried about a power outage because the fish can live for a bit without continuously flowing oxygen, but you're worried, I'm sure you can find something manual or off-grid to power your tank for a bit. Solar storage is also a good backup for most people.

Ryan Padua Enormous artificial ponds often force air down through a pipe to bubble out, especially during winter. So I know it functions okay on the large scale. Yes, but power outages that last days aren't uncommon outside of cities, and even in cities they happen occasionally. And I'm more worried about things like waste gases diffusing out of the water getting trapped near the surface, building up and preventing the meager passive oxygenation of the water.

seigeengine I have solar panels on our house, and the batteries would easily last through the night until they could recharge (completely off-grid) in the morning. If you can get at least a few, it'll be massively beneficial in the long run for both energy costs and backup (assuming you get decent sunlight). As for the oxygen issue, I think oxygen bubblers do a great job of giving the tank as much oxygen as it needs. It works for my cousins, who have a tank about as big as this.

+Amanda Martin Rosies

+NightHawkInLight wait so I suck the air out or in?

A better way is to totally submerge the jug so it fills up completely then lift it up upside down so it draws it's own vacuum and the water will stay in. Ever played with a jug in the bathtub? Same idea.

+Mark Blake you suck the air in to raise the water level into the vacuum. You blow air out to lower the water level to remove the vacuum for cleaning and such.

+Doep 100 Yeah but it's gona be heavy and if you screw up there will be wa wa everywhere.

7 years later... Might be a bit late... But if you can't drink the water that your fish live in then you have to look at your filtration system!!! Can someone sue themselves? Anyway RIP

@@debbiekirk8765 ok, thank you. RIP me

+Danny Smith wow exactly what I said... I mean its cool and all.. but fucking dumb at the same time

I know this is late but you could use an electric pump to circulate water. They have some small battery operated ones. It will allow water to go in and out of the upper area

There's a possibility to do this with some kind of acrylic support or a support mounted to the frame of the aquarium (and holding the jar around the rim somehow) so you don't need ugly bricks... but even with that the look of the jar sticking out of the aquarium is quite unappealing to me... not to mention the constant worry that something would knock it over (earthquakes are rare here but we do have a small fault line only a few km away...).

Luculencia I thought that's y u would remove it, clean it, then put it back.... wow

+Danny Smith, do your homework first. As long as there is nothing separating the suspended water from the rest, and especially if there is something, anything (the aerator, a fish, whatever) to move the water once in a while (not even violently), then the water will not stagnate. Try it with some dye if you don't believe. And as for the "shitty looking bricks," christ, man, it's a fucking EXAMPLE. Do you want a 100 gal. tank with Cinderella's Castle for one video???
