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.

This aquarium is massive. Think of the trouble you went through to set up your fish tank… after watching this video I don’t feel like I really worked all that hard to set up my tank. At least I didn’t need a crane to get my tank into my apartment.

It would be fun to see this aquarium in person.
