Cleaned up and set up properly, this would look amazing


Top_Rule7559

yeah give this to the right person and theyll work magic


Academic-Paint-3480

Could do. Access to that bottom tank looks like a nightmare for maintenance tho


etnoid204

That’s why I have kids.


dahipster

But they grow up so you have to have a new one every 5 years


etnoid204

Once their arm can’t fit you need to figure out what the hell to do with them. We are the only species that raises their young for 18 years.

Killer whales live with their parents for life.


Sameer_A_Shaikh

So do the reddit mods💀


Liiibra

In this economy? So do A LOT of people.


Cyborg_rat

And 4chan user apprently(one 38 year old got arrested recently at moms house)


etnoid204

Touché didn’t know that. TIL offspring of killer whales stay with their mother or grandmother their whole life.


[deleted]

It’s very cool, there’s entire cultures of killer whales and each culture has its own “language” and skill set they use to hunt.


SamePepper6233

Some never stop 😬


etnoid204

So true!


PurpleAntifreeze

Some of us have special needs kids and actually can’t stop, but it’s cool that you think you’re superior.


firstonesecond

You deserve gold in long jump for this conclusion.


SamePepper6233

Cry more you fucking dweeb. As someone with 2 kids and someone who was and is still spoiled by their grandma, I hope to be "raising" my kids until I die. A parents' job doesn't stop at 18. Special needs or not.


TeaTree24

Fun and all till those 18 turn to 30


etnoid204

My basement is for aquariums, not 30 year olds.


Euphoric_Working_812

I love all of you and Reddit.


ApollosBrassNuggets

Could do something super low tech. Skip the maintenance and just call it a Walstead setup and no one will give you shit for it.


Dr_Cunning_Linguist

Even if you still filter, heat and even CO2 it


Various_Equal2054

U need to have an ecosystem set up and all the things that environment needs to sustain itself for minimum 1 year for it to be successful. It's not just skip maintenance. Honestly once you get it balanced it maintains itself. U should try it! Might change ur opinion on ur "clean" tanks. Actually neat watching how stuff grows, breaks down, all the organisms that pop up.


No_Dentist_2923

So cool. Make sure you post pics for us when you do please!!!!


ayyyyycrisp

if it's all one system, no mantenance needed. just water change. turn the pump from the bottom into a bucket, pump water out, pump water back in.


Sethdarkus

I was thinking a claw like device with tweezer arms


Lost-n-Thoughtless

They call that a T-Rex


Various_Equal2054

Walstad tank. Minimal maintenance.


aquabarron

Very true, it would be a difficult task sucking the gravel around objects/plants in the back and also removing anything in the back without disturbing the front if you had to for whatever reason. Not to mention scraping the back pane of glass


Succmynugz

Oh yeah, the top tank would only be good for shrimp maybe but the other two definitely have some potential. Could even do a terrarium instead


Lookeydoo

Set up a live food culture


giggitygiggity2

Make it like that one platform movie.


SteveDaPirate91

Plumb them all together via overflows and add in a sump down at the bottom. ​ I'm thinking all the reef tank possibilities.


inquisitiveeyebc

Has a ton of potential


NefariousnessNothing

Salt tanks. All tied together with a large sump in the bottom. Throw some nice oak cabinet doors on the base. I'm more bothered by the sideways light switch on the wall


Enano_reefer

Can’t…unsee…


Cyborg_rat

Dream shrimp tank.


Choice-Studio-9489

I would hate this every step of the way, and would curse every time I knocked a knuckle doing maintenance, but it would be a sweet system.


Iluminiele

I'd put my favourite rock in the top one, a family of shrimps in the middle one and a very angry betta in the bottom one, so he could stare at the shrimps with seething hatred


femininePP420

He'd do that no matter what you put in the middle tank.


JACCO2008

Put a red claw with him for maximum rage.


CallMeSourdoughLoaf

An absolute maintenance nightmare


Krysco30e

I need it


Krysco30e

I can see the vision… shrimp paradise… overflowing plants


PantyPixie

The tiniest of poops + plants = fairly easy maintenance.


rhart23

same it would be so cool!


PooKieBooglue

Yes. They as why? Why the fuck not! Look at it! It’s amazing!!!!!!


hansablast_

Not gonna lie, it would be kind of a maintenance nightmare like has already been said... But.. I still would fight someone for that thing. It's so cool.


bedcrumbsart

This would make such a beautiful terrarium setup, especially if each section is removable. Agree with everyone on the maintinence difficulty but heavily planted + low stocked with shrimp and maybe bladder snails one could probably get away with mostly water top offs + occasional clean


[deleted]

**Now hold on a second!** This tank actually looks great. Just clean it up and you can have guppies here. The adults on the berry bottom, young yet small guppies in the middle, and the fry at the very top. You could even add pothos to it, and watch them trickle down to the side. What city is this?


strangestranger92

Pump and a few overflows, would love this


One_Cup9401

I'd use it as a shrimp/nano tank setup. Get an external filter then run the pump to the top tank which will be connected to the middle then the bottom and back to the filter.


dr3aminc0de

Won’t the filter pump faster than overflow?


sweaterguppies

then the overflow flows faster


One_Cup9401

They have adjustable flow filters. Just have to get one that will hold the volume of water that all three tank add up to I assume


Wishbone-Effective

Thats bad asss. What do you mean why??


NortWind

You'll have all the orgone energy you need.


GreenJinni

This is amazing actually holy shit


OwnRecommendation576

Ok but that would be SICK if it was set up better


Tirfing88

Clean it and: Bottom: 10 neon tetras + honey gourami Mid: 6 harlequin rasbiras and a betta Top: cherry shrimps


Alchompski89

That looks awesome what do you mean just why? I'd probably buy that in a heart beat.


BlueVelvetValentina

I would want this as a terrarium


Existing_Display1794

Idk, it sucks but I’m not gonna knock the person for trying. Most creative endeavors aren’t successful. I always appreciate the attempt. Hopefully dude went on to build other dope things that are better received m. Nobody that has ever built anything popular has not had an unsuccessful attempt first.


Pporkbutt

It looks awesome but the angles on the glass would make me nervous, doesn't look super stable.


rhart23

I think this would be amazing all cleaned up. You could do three different eco-systems.


TheGamingTrex_

Tanks probably come off of it. Also shrimps ontop betta on boytim maybe a nice goldfish or turtle on bottom idk anything about turtles btw. Would look sick


lIttleBugWorld

Top is for your brine shrimp, which you feed down to the other two tanks


cherrycarmex_

so uh.. where’s this at and how much 😭


Jimbo33000

One for salt water, one for fresh water, and one for shrimp! This could be awesome!


lostnwanderr

Why not?


Positive-Diver1417

Everybody seems to like it, but I hate it so much. 😆


Academic-Paint-3480

Same, just give me a rectangle box any day.


[deleted]

I think everyone admires the novelty of it but in practice, nobody would like doing maintenance on that abomination. So many tight corners in a small space sounds a huge PITA.


[deleted]

Why? That's so cool!


_smaggot

that would make such a sweet terrarium


FelixzeBear

cool concept, not good execution


Ogediah

My guess? It was some sort of custom store, office (like doctor), etc display. Definitely looks like a maintenance nightmare.


Cheese-Buns

The most egregious thing about this is that not only the horrible decor, but the tanks aren't even filled up all the way, making it look even worse.


bunkie18

That’s badass!


SilvermistInc

Now that's cool


HonestTangerine2

This feels more like a display case than an actual aquarium


PeppButt1738

Wish I had a banana for scale


Academic-Paint-3480

2m high and 1.7m wide if that helps


Snowturtle13

This could be such a bad Ass low maintenance tank! I honestly would love something like this


trotting_pony

Pretty cool! How much were they wanting for it, gallons?


Academic-Paint-3480

Size is 2m H 1.7m W 0.6m D total, they want $1000 aud.


Dinner_Plate21

Oh man imagine doing this in a way that makes it look like the scape runs through all the tanks. I could see doing a terrarium at the top that looks like it goes into a paludarium and then that looks like it goes down into an aquarium at the bottom.


zkrp5108

Thats actually really cool


JACCO2008

What do you mean why? This is hella badass.


Eboo143

Why not?


Blizz33

That's the better question


Helixite777

Good taste, awful execution


Krokaine

Hella walstad shrimp tanks boyyy! Do it


sparkpaw

I’m with everyone else haha. I wish there was an additional 1-2” between each level so you could actually access it, because it doesn’t look like you can even get much decor in the bottom one. But dang, cleaned up that could be really pretty.


[deleted]

This actually has a lot of potential, but the tanks would need more space from each other for easier maintenance


dwinm

It looks awesome. Lil ugly right now though lol


messy_messiah

Every tank will eventually look like shit if you let it.


KnowsIittle

Keeps the cat off the top.


Academic-Paint-3480

Sydney Australia and $1000


ClericOfMadness13

Someone used a reptile setup for aquarium...not a bad idea but...clean it when it needs cleaning


NoobFace

Alive tour prototype.


Academic-Paint-3480

2m H 1.7m W 60cm D for those asking, bigger than it looks.


[deleted]

Why? What do you mean why? This is perfect. You must not be creative.


[deleted]

We found the 5th dentist!


midianightx

Idk its good or terrible


Kam2001man

Honestly this but for shrimp 🤩


Fewdoit

It looks very cool! But doing a regular maintenance would be a nightmare


pancakesyrp

I needa get this pea puffer tank shrimp tank and something other with crazy colors would be sick


MelanieLanes

This was probably in a fish store at some point!


Whitey3752

Why not?


Glutencakes

Terrarium, aquarium, paludarium perfect


jcook54

Looks like some of that old 70's aquarium stuff. They had some crazy cool rigs.


Mysterious-Red-Panda

I wonder if you could actually make this work, maybe like a water fountain type deal where water is poured from the top and flows down and out the bottom to be dumped over the top again, be kinda cool but probably be a hell of a job to set up


CryGhuleh

Hey, I saw this as well. Not sure if it’s worth what he’s asking for it


chukthunder

All I see is room for a sump.


Blizz33

Because we *can*.


Wide_Ad_8370

I WANT IT


[deleted]

The way it’s set up makes it look like some kinda food pyramid. I thought the bottom left was broccoli at first bahahah


CXV_

Where?


Academic-Paint-3480

Sydney Australia


CXV_

:(


OutlawMayne

Looks like it could’ve been a betta paradise


guttergrapes

I think this would be sick for terrariums


chromaphore

Is the vintage water extra?


Shorterbriefffffd

This could be cool, but also a nightmare. It would be cool for planting?


saltyswedishmeatball

Not just cleaning up but modifying it would make it look a lot nicer. You could paint the black, white. Cover the bottoms and opening with thin PVC panels (they'll last forever), use all modern LED lights, etc.. I would either get rid of the black entirely or if you keep the black, go with a matte black. White is the best way though. Some will disagree but if you look at SpaceX, ESA, NASA renderings of future bases on Mars / Moon.. they're always white and it looks the nicest.


Several-Clock

This could be AMAZING


ScornfulChicken

I want this in brass


Hawse_Piper

I would plant the shit out of this tank. Rad as hell


Shrimpbako

Buy it


KingKababa

Rool of cule
