Has anyone ever thought of a tank with a bed under it?

I was thinking about building a large freshwater stingray tank but have a stand that allowes me to keep my bed under it. Then have a hole on the bottom so that I can see into the tank when I am in the bed. How would I do this???

Probably not all that helpful, but they did that on an episode of Tanked a week or two ago.

do you mean like a port-hole you can stick your head in and look around inside the tank or just looking up through the bottom of the tank?

I'd be worried about it collapsing while your sleeping...good idea other than that

Wozi that's what I call a scary dream, I think unless your sea world and can afford it, this might be a bad idea.

^^^ thats actually a resort in the maldives if im not mistaken.. theres a restaurant underwater too. But I've heard its fake/photoshopped too. lol

OH. and OP- the idea would work. You would just have to find a way to brace the tank centrally to prevent bowing. The pressure in a tank is most exerted onto the corners...but its still a good idea to brace the middle. The tank would have to be larger in length and width than the bed itself, so you could brace it centrally. it would take a highly skilled carpenter-type to accomplish this. hopefully youre very hands on! But most aquarium stands have holes where the tank sits.. pressure distribution would not prevent an underside peep hole!

No offense, but the idea has merit, I just wouldnt like looking at all that poo....
