Make A Vacuum Suspended Fish Tank

This is an interesting way to turn a classic science experiment into a functioning addition to a fish tank. It makes a pretty cool display!
Be sure if you try this to have plenty of water circulation in your tank or the water in the suspended area could become oxygen deprived. There really shouldn't be any problems if the tank is well functioning prior to adding the new compartment. You may also want to put a wide base of some kind below the supports so the extra weight is spread over a larger area and you won't risk cracking the bottom of your tank.

    A faster method you can do to accomplish this is you can actually completely submerge the vase and then lift it out of the water bottom first. the vase will be upside down and completely free of any air and it will be kind of heavy to lift, but can be done. This makes cleaning the tank and resetting the vacuum suspended part easier to reset, rather than sucking the air out.

    I've thought about this myself, but worried about the conditions in the raised area: The pressure is reduced to below atmospheric pressure, which might upset swim bladders. The lower pressure would also lower the potential to keep oxygen in solution. Circulation would be reduced inside the "bubble". I was concerned that it could become a dead zone at some point. Did you ever do a long trial and notice any unusual behaviour?

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

  • @richardtowers6948

    @richardtowers6948

    7 жыл бұрын

    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 :-)

    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 :)

    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.

    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.

    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.

  • @ryanap155

    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.

  • @seigeengine

    @seigeengine

    9 жыл бұрын

    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.

  • @ryanap155

    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.

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???
