		<description>Wow, i love the idea and really wanted one till i saw the many comments and realized it might attract the many sad bastards to MY house. I am a layabout druggo with 9 weeks of an engineering degree, half a batchelor of science (Industrial Maths and Computer modelling), i have a pirate copy of photo shop, have caught, kept and eaten many fish and can tug it hard enough to come in as many colours as joe,joel,joseph or any of his alter egos, or that of any other of the many other tuggers to grace this thread. 
It is therefore that i suggest we form a brains trust of all the experts, a summit or world forum, a think tank of epic proportions and together we may help each other understand the complex workings of A DRINKING STRAW. In particular the incredibly peculiar effect on the level of fluids (as seen in a cross sectional photo with sufficient uncorrupted pixels) created by the application of a vacuum... read SUCKING. We should consider also, are drinking straws real, or just a clever application running in the background of our childrens minds creating the illusion that supersize is worth the extra investment. If this is so, then is the extra cost of manufacture of these straws with up to five or seven compartments really sustainable in a world that needs to come to terms with its rampant consumer greed. Perhaps it would be better to supply our children with simple hollow tube drinking straws and leave the rest to their imagination. As for the relevance of air pressure i think it is obvious from this thread that many of us are feeling pressured enough in these DARK DAYS.</description>

		<description>Dear Anthony,

LOL.  have u re-read what u have written?  bashing everyone like that. u must be one frustrated soul of an engineer. it is great entertainment, but please go get a life.

However, I do agree it is a great aquarium!</description>

KUMMER: I am an engineer myself.  Please don&#039;t give us a bad name, if you really are an engineer.  What you said may be clear in your mind, but you should have stopped after writing about depth vs. pressure.  Putting the whole thing in a 6’ deep Sea World type aquarium is not clear at all.  Would the Sea World aquarium be full or empty when this aquarium is put into it?  Would this aquarium be full or empty when it&#039;s put into the Sea World aquarium?  Would this aquarium be intact when put in the Sea World aquarium, or put in there in pieces?  Basically, your idea of comparison is insubtantial.  It wouldn&#039;t prove anything but the fact that this aquarium would just be in another one, unless the test was about interior and exterior pressures over the surface area of this aquarium in relation to depth while submerged in the Sea World one.  Otherwise, there is no reason for doing such an action or making such a claim.  The equilibrium imposed by a siphon bridge has different properties, which requires different assumptions.  Why is Sea World such a big descriptor for you?  In the professional world, we don&#039;t say things have Sea World grade construction.  We say that Sea World has quality and reliable aquariums made for durability.  From reading your blurb, you know that there is some significance between pressure and depth....but you definitely don&#039;t sound bright enough to call yourself an engineer.  I suppose you could be a high school student or pre-engineer.  To think you should use Sea World references in such a way that you did supports that.  All the people in this blog know what quality, reliable and durability mean.  You aren&#039;t speaking to a bunch of elementary school kids in this blog.  But, there&#039;s always a chance that you could be older than what I think.  You may be a person who lives in the basement of your parents house still and has a fascination with things like Sea Worldj, watching an extensive amount of cartoons, and playing an extensive amount of video games.  If you actually are an engineer and plan on giving yourself that credit, you need to be able to appropriately communicate your thoughts in a way that your audience can understand.  You also must have the proper intellect when making claims publicly about certain things....and be able to support those claims properly.        

What you said below also helps solidify your lack of intelligence, accidental confidence, misuse of the word engineer, and lack of humility (you should remain humble and listen to your mentors and professors until you gain some more aptitude in speaking out as an engineer).  
This is pretty obvious:  &quot;If you break it up into smaller tanks, however (like Frank said) then it’s only as deep as the individual tank.&quot;
Why on earth would there be such small individual tanks: &quot;Except, I would bet on 5 or 7 tanks.&quot;

I highly recommend that you take my advice.  Embarrassing yourself as an engineer because you immaturely/falsely use the title to back up your claims, and make unintelligent public claims, is detrimental to your career advancement and opportunity, employer judgement, and your place in the engineering community among fellow engineers.  A shunned engineer is just a person with thoughts.

FUKJOE: You seem to have a lot of hatred.  People don&#039;t like haters as much as you don&#039;t like Joe.  Please try and change as your hate is very unhealthy to yourself and the people around you.  It will get you into undesirable trouble.

CAROL: If a tank such as this is one of the only things that &quot;brings a smile to your face in these dark days&quot;, I&#039;m sorry about your spiritual loss.  You definitely need to find some unmaterialistic substance in your life if you are to ever fully enjoy it.  How you deal with temporary dark days is huge judgement of your will and character.  A fish tank like this shouldn&#039;t be your calm in the storm.</description>

		<description>To bonnie and frank. next time your in the tube fill your wash cup with water, the make the open side face down. bring the cup up from the depths and watch what happens- pressure.</description>

		<description>It IS possibly, physically; I&#039;m just at a loss of ideas of how you get the tube filled with water in the first place.

But here comes Barak with my answer - vacuum at the top and keep filling the tanks til it&#039;s fill.</description>

		<description>It&#039;s real. Been there, done that. No tricks. Long setup (slow vacuum at topmost check valve on tube), heavy duty 3/8 inch steel cable and Allthread suspension. Check out a construction water tube level kit, it might help you to visualize the physics involved. The tanks and tubes are custom acrylic and quite thick. Must have cost a small fortune. Had to be load leveled prior to tank fill. Pure genius!</description>
