Catastrophe Tank
Hasn't everyone fantasized about being on the scene and
getting wet when there is a large format catastrophic fish
tank failure?
This is a fish tank engineered to have a catastrophic
failure either on demand or when you least expect.

But what happens to the fish? This would be cruelty
to animals unless there was a way to save all the fish! |
|
| |
They could be inside rolling goldfish bowls that are
nested inside the tank. |
|
| |
yes Rolling Gold Fish was excellent and that would
work except it would be so sad if one gold fish each
were in nested tanks they could never interact. |
|
| |
what use is being a fish if you can't interact with
other fish right? |
|
| |
they could be inside a tank within a tank |
|
| |
This could always be a sushi restaurant, then the fish
carnage will not be a problem. |
|
| |
Tank within a tank? I figured getting slapped in the face by fish was part of the experience. |
|
| |
Regarding cruelty, the fish could already be dead - maybe a few weeks old as well. |
|
| |
If they were too large, customers may get injured. |
|
| |
There also needs to be cuttlefish which can cling on to people's heads as they rise from (or lie motionless) in the rubble. |
|
| |
Flying fish are what's needed. |
|
| |
Robot fish. After the tank collapses they can further disturb observers by extending little legs and scampering away. |

In an attempt to answer your question I started asking
around the office, and now all my co-workers think I'm
a loony. Thanks, [vfrackis]. |
|
| |
//now all my co-workers think I'm a loony//
heh... and what have we learned? |
|
| |
Hey, why does it even have to be fish? Lots of things are kept in aquariums that would do just fine surfing out the Tanknarok.
Sea lions, tiger seals, and polar bears spring to mind. |
|
| |
Lobsters, sand crabs, and jellyfish would be more
interesting... |
|
| |
but jelly fish have no presence i mean they flatten
out completely when they hit the floor you won't
even know they are there |
|
| |
//Tanknarok// [marked-for-something] |
|
| |
I'm thinking more of an autoclave full of boiling sulphuric acid. |
|
| |
You could start with a puzzling half-empty tank that appears to have nothing in it except a few plastic bags floating around. |
|
| |
Then you loudly dump in half a tank of simulated raw sewage (the effect being achieved by dyes and floating things). |
|
| |
At the time of the catastrophe, you'd have to release some unpleasant smelling gas (it is meant to be a catastrophe, after all). Hydrogen Sulphide might be a bit of an expensive long term alternative, but would be hard to beat. |
|
| |
... Well it would be nice and refreshing, still, wouldn't it? |
|
| |
If every there were an idea that belongs in a place called the Halfbakery, this is it. |
|
| |
/jelly fish have no presence/
Until the stinging starts. And you find that they have all clambered into your clothes. You did not notice because of the cuttlefish on your head. |
|
| |
I do not mean to slight jellyfish im mean i respect
them that is to say I have an appropriate amount of
respect for jellyfish .
once they hit the floor they are just A pile of mush
and they pose no threat no performance from them
at all.
I think it's wrong to put people in a position where
they are forced feel sad for jellyfish
fish tank catastrophe is meant to be exhilarating |
|
| |
Or just lots of refreshing water, suddenly appearing to be invaded by a kamikaze great white shark (a projection), who swims straight at the glass - at which point the catastrophe appears to happen. |
|
| |
"Look, I think they've got a shark in there." |
|
| |
-- "Oh yes. And is that not the soundtrack of Jaws?" |
|
| |
Everyone has a nice exhilarating wake-up. |
|
| |
I was just about to link up that tank. I bet that is vfrakis holding the camera phone. |
