      I'm sure they'll go through it. He opened with saying he does not have any small enough fish. I am just wondering if my turtle would go through it.

    We did this about 20 years ago with a soft, clear tube about 5cm internal. Out of eight fish two learned to swim through the bridge after a couple of months. We used to sing 'Born Free' when we saw them doing it.

    I think your channel is the best out there. But the lazy man in me would just use transparent pvc piping with 2 transparent elbows
    and something to secure it to the aquarium, so not a bridge but a water tunnel/tube... subway..ect...

    • @thekingofdiy

      I'm building my own bar with integrated aquarium, gonna use it for some Danios, Cories, a Kuhli loach, some Siamese Algae eaters, a shrimp or two and a Black Molly.
      Wanted to make one aquarium but you've convinced me to make two smaller ones connected by a bridge. Would look prototype in a bar.
      The fish won't freak out cause it's a home bar, no stress going on around them.
      I'll keep the decorations simple with a couple hideouts for the loach, maybe sand instead of gravel.
      I'll post pics when Ive completed the project. 😃

    • @kontekijke
      @kontekijke 8 років тому

      It doesnt leak. But if it will leak it wont work to begin with.
      It all works because of vacuum, so on top of having to be water tight, it needs to be air tight.

    This looks so awesome and really cool! And it would look even more awesome if there were any fish swimming through that. I so want to try this but if only I wasn't too scare to get my house wet if there happens to be any mishap.
    Lol
    But it's still a really creative and great idea. If I decide to have any tank out in my balcony one of these days, I gotta try this out. Thanks for sharing this great idea!

    Hi Joey,
    I'm about to attempt this build connecting two 250 litre (66 gallon) tanks. The question I want to ask you is: The bridge is going to be 195cm long and will hold approx 150 litres (39 gallons) do you think I will be ok using 6mm glass?

Not only did I learn how to build an aquarium bride but I also learned about air pressure and vacuum. I may not build one any time soon but if I ever had the chance I would know what to do. Thank you.
    Too bad we couldn’t see it in use with fish.

  • @chaitanyavedak2412
    @chaitanyavedak2412 11 років тому

    Amazing... Please do put in some fish and make a video of that... I also believe that if you use your drip irrigation system for water changes, with the inlet at one side, and the outlet at the other, it will work just fine..
    as for the algae, i believe that your simple ceramic filter should keep the water clean enough...
    And thanks for sharing this amazing idea..
    And if you / i use an acrylic sheet for this project.. the tube can be made to bend at the sides, so the flow of water will be smoother..

    This is a great video. Very well explained and though out. I would love to try this one day. However I need to start with the basics of simply making my own aquarium first. Got to learn how to walk before I run, but I do intend to do this one day. I'm just curious how often it would be used (maybe more than I think). I wonder if it would be helpful if the fish can see the other tank. I don't care this is too cool to not give it a try. Tanks Joey for putting this together.

    @DeVirumEtMachina 5 років тому +1

    Yah sweet bro, I had been thinking about this very concept over this past week, then I came across this video. I was thinking more of putting a dome of sorts in the centre of my goldfish pond so they could swim up above the waterline and see the pond they live in, Lol. Thing that kept me up at night (so to speak) is Pressure.
    Specifically, what it might actually feel like for the fish and potential effects?
    - Do they experience any pressure differential inside the water vacuum columb?, like you would experience if you were to dive down really deep into the ocean?
    - If so does that mean the higher above the surface they swim the greater the pressure they would experience?
    - Or is there simply no pressure differential in any area of the total volume of water contained within the system.
    Probably overthinking it, but I find it to be an intriguing question.

  • @edbeaman6320
    @edbeaman6320 9 років тому

    Do the tanks have to be level in order for this to work? I have 25 and 36 gallon bow front aquariums. I was thinking about having the larger one in the back and smaller one in front of it and about 1/2 off to the side and at different levels. Would love to bridge them together if possible.Please advise - thanks!

    • @JayXIsSad
      @JayXIsSad 9 років тому +1

      You just need to make the side going into the smaller one longer.

    • @sanderd17
      @sanderd17 8 років тому

      +Ed Beaman the tops of the tanks will have to be equal, else you're only be able to fill one to the top, and the other one only to the height of the lowest aquarium.
      So it does work with differently sized tanks, but only if you put the smaller ones higher.

  • @IceColdBold
    @IceColdBold 8 років тому

    I know this might be a dumb question, but, i have done this on my outdoor whisky barrel ponds for growing koi. Seen as they can swim from one tank to another, does that essentially make it a bigger tank? Or do i still have to make sure theres only so many fish per tank?

    Wondering if you knew how to make a floating fish tank/floating fish globe ,for viewing fish above tank :0) There are tons of photos online but no one has a clear tutorial ,some for sale are hundreds :/ This video is awesome but this would take me a lifetime! lol I'm not skilled at all! Thank you for all your great videos ,you are a life saver for a novice like myself :) Happy fish keeping!!

    I am now wondering if something like this would be a practical way to connect two smaller tanks to use for a sump for a reef tank. I do have a handful of aqueon ten gallon tanks

    I built a custom stand for my two 55s to make them feel a bit more like 1 big tank - this would make it even more that way! Makes me feel more motivated to set them up again and do this. I can just imagine the antics of clown loaches on this bridge :)

      Do it! I'm experimenting with a network of nano tanks myself!

    Really neat idea, do the fish usually swim between the two tanks? I feel like if I did this the fish would just stay in one tank because that's my luck lol

    Do I need to worry about the weight of the bridge which includes water weight + glass weight. Definitely the recommended glass thickness will be used. I am planning to keep the aquarium around 48 inch apart with 6mm dia of bridge. Because this bridge will be kept on one single side of each aquarium, are there any changes that bridge weight can tear apart the aquarium?

    Water pressure increases with depth, but here you've created a way to reduce water pressure, by having a volume above the level exposed to the air.
    This might actually prove to be a useful system for encouraging some fish species to breed, as many prefer to spawn during thunderstorms/heavy rains, to ensure their young aren't going to end up trying to survive through a dry spell or drought. Thunderstorms are the result of a low pressure weather system, which the fish can sense, even under the water, through its affects on their swim bladders.
    If you could build a bridge - or just a capped off tube - high enough above the water surface (about 400 inches, to offset the 14.7 psi air pressure at sea level), you could end up with negative pressure, and the water would actually start cold-boiling into vacuum, otherwise seen as cavitation on boat propellers, where the extreme low pressure causes the water to turn to gas.
    You don't want that or your fish will explode (although the tank would probably implode first, unless built to a similar standard as one of an equal depth).

    Would this be possible on a tank that is ontop of another for the fish to swim straight up?

    Would it still work if you had parallel U bends going from one tank, right round the room to another tank on equal level so the fish could have a day out, a bit like a pub crawl, you always end up back home.

    HI, it is a very interesting design but how do you manage the water filtration?
    Does it works to put inlet one side and outlet on the other tank?
