Hello everyone,

I am doing a project for a new design for an aquarium. I need fish and aquarium owners to take a survey based on this product. The survey gives some more information on the aquarium. Anyone who could add their general knowledge and expertise to help that would be great!

Here is the link:

Ehh it sounds cool........but you wouldnt be able to charge much more then tanks are going for now........problem is.......I can drill a hole an the tank I have now to do essentially the same thing. I have already drilled one hole........I just hadnt thought of this idea to drill another. Solid idea..........it sure would make waterchanges easier. Just turn the valve and out goes 20 gallons. Cool idea, but im not sure how much more money you would make with it. You could sell a kit........probably get some good cash for it.

Thanks to everyone who has taken the survey so far! I think we are going to make it a freshwater aquarium so that we don't have to deal with sand.

Its a hypothetical product for a project and yes I did refer to other sites. Thanks again for all your help. I have all the responses I need and I am putting everything together. You were very helpful!

I think the holes in the back will get clogged up and not work well.

There may be wood , rocks, and plants that might block any holes from access as well.

I think this may be a good idea for people who have bare tanks and are breeding and have many tanks to deal with.

I really don't think it's going to fly, esp for the price you're asking. I think I can do a much beter job with a siphon.

I'm not trying to be mean, I just don't think this is practical. PK

And it sounds like it would be a eye soar.
