plime.com : science : Impossibly Cool Fish Tank

"I don't know how this fish tank works exactly, but from what I could understand, the tank on top that joins the adjacent tanks works as a vacuum. The result is that there are feeding holes in the side of the tank, and the water does not flow out. I could not wrap my mind around this technology, but it works." picked by gnikgnok 2 years ago

This is a bit like the chicken water feeders, The air pressure is stronger then the water trying to push up.

I think the whole tank is just air tight. Since the feeding holes are all at the same level, and air can't enter the tank at a level higher than the feeding thingies, the water can't come out.

That's just what I think...
