cool tank. it is prolly like an auto top off kind of tank. so the water where the fish go up lowers as the water where the net is in evaporates.

Its real.
Its not an auto top off at all. Its done with a large vacuum pump connected to the top of the tank which is sealed off. The amount of air going into the verticle tank is exactly the same amount that is getting pumped out. There is a name for this setup. I had an email about the type of pump to use but I couldn't find any information on the pump or where to get it. Only one major potential problem.... If the vacuum pump dies and allows air to go in reverse. You have a very wet problem on your hands. You would deffenetly want to use a check valve so this can not happen. As long as there is negitive pressure at the top and air can't fill the space above the water level then the water will always stay in the verticle tank.

Can you get the name of the pump they used? I would not mind doing this at all. Except I would look into "fail safe" methods.

Yeah, that's the one. Isn't that bizarre? They feed the fish through those little openings in the side.

Im so going to have to try something like that out now.... darnit. Stop giving me ideas.
I think applying vacuum to the tank will hold the water level there. As long as the water level in those little pockets does not get lower than the hole in the side of the tank which would allow air in to the tank and very quickly have a messy room... |

Yeah, I think that's the trick to it. I remember reading that the top is sealed.

The truck thing would be cool, but I cannot even imagine how they would be able to sufficiently dampen the movement of the water from the vibrations, not to mention all that starting, stopping and turning.
Goldfish in a cone: Overstocking to the max! The table tanks I have seen the website for some time ago. Like WOW.
