wouldn't it be good if the glass is much lower, just a bit above water level? then you would really be able to see over the surface of the "really flowing stream"

Impressive. what more can I say.

Choy, If the glass are too low, the kids will be catching the fishes! And the frogs and crickets and gecko will be all over the places. Imagine also the archer shooting water arrows across the room aiming at the cockroach over the other side of the room.

Thanks fazlee. Setting up this tank is rather easy, except that its not easy to reach the bottom of the 2.5ft tall tank.

Hi Emg,

yes, it will be chaos! haha.

I see you have some nice little vivariums yourself. Why not do one in the school?

I've thought about that actually...alot of the classrooms have tanks of one kind or another...one of the teachers has a 130 marine tank in his room !! Someone gave it to him......most of them are not very well taken care of because frankly, the teachers don't have the time nor the knowledge..but they like to have them in the class for the kids.

I may at the very least offer a tank cleaning/design service for those who don't want to have that worry anymore....not sure what to charge though...

Thanks for sharing your tank with us Lorba....Fantastic tank !!
