How in the hell do you think they did that? I was thinking at first, just seal the top of the tall section, and you're good. Then I thought more, and, if that was the case, the air bubbles would displace all the water, not to mention how the hell would you fill it? Anyone?

They used suction. If you take a glass and put it underwater and get all the air bubbles out (the water has to be as tall as the glass or taller) then stand it upright, suction will hold the water in.

Im assuming they did it the same way.

Yes, but the air stone would be displacing the water in the upright tank and eventually it would all just fall out. How in the hell?????? That's interesting

i remember that it actually reuses the same air.... might be wrong but i think it just recycles it...

 

[alcohologist]
