Dimensions: 3.75" wide x 3.5" high x 2.5" deep

I can't wait to see what you're able to do with it.

Wow, so it actually has a pump in there. I wonder if you can use it in saltwater. Cool stuff...

I'm eagerly waiting to see what Hwarang finds out. If it's as kool as it looks I might just get one too.

might be just me but from the looks of it the area for the fish is only about 1 1/2 inches wide.

Yep, but they're fake fish...

You could throw a couple zoanthids in there or green star polyps, etc and maybe a bristleworm and small snail. That'd be sweet.

Hmmmm, the possibilities!
Let's try to bring down the water volume a little more and make it interactive.

So you figure a tang (small of course) and a clownfish in a mouse?

:wink:

 

[ricky1414]

Not both in the same mouse, but one or the other. :wink: I might get a baby hippo tang, as I have heard they stay small if you house them in a small environment. The fact that it is completely sealed means no evaporation which is a plus.
I am, however, afraid that moving the mouse might create unwanted sandstorms.

Prepare to dive!!!! I think I am taking this one down to the sump! Who's with me?

OK!

It was just delivered.

1. The fish are about an inch long. That should give you some scale.
2. The "aquarium" is sealed w/ a rubber plub. No evap!
3. Dunno HOW you would convert this to a real aquarium
• The light is only LED
• The power source is USB- making light conversion difficult
• the bottom has a plastic insert - you have to remove it (wreck the toy) to put real sand in

... So I think it's gonna be a desk toy unless one of you wants to step up and give it a shot. The hardest problem would be to find a light source that can run off of the weak juice delivered by USB.

It's still sweet, though.

Why noy just add something low light, like a mushroom?

 

[Anonymous]

Because a LED doesn't produce any UV spectrum or otherwise useful light. Correct?

However I was just looking out my window wondering if I Could use natural lighting to do it. But this is MN and in the winter our sunlight is anything but radiant. So even that may not work.

What about placing it right next to one of your aquariums? A red shroom doesn't need much light at all.

 

[Anonymous]

Hmm that's an idea. Mabye i could get one of those red sea art deco lights. They're tiny and all.

Move to Socal then, weathers great here. :wink:

What about this http://www.thinkgeek.com/pcmods/cases/6151/

Maybe you could make it a little larger

Actually I have some friends in LA, and that's where the grandmaster of my martial art is located, so I actually was considering moving there for a while. But they moved back home and whatnot. I had a blast when visiting LA. Great city, lotsa nightlife. LA gets my stamp of approval.
