    6. FISH ON LINE ONE

    As the Festival of Lights rolled around in France, a lighting designer and artist duo got a bright idea. Benoit Deseille and Benedetto Bufalino decided to transform an unused phone booth in Lyons into a mini aquatic escape. The pair said they were working to recapture the beauty and wonder of the phone booth, which is now forgotten in this mobile age.

It would have been nice if I could have seen the pictures of the crazy tanks.

These aquariums are inhumane and promote horrible fish-keeping practices. :-( Live creatures are not ornaments.

One thing that's upsetting...a couple of these tanks are shown with waaaaay more gold fish in them than is healthy. A single gold fish requires 18-20 gallons, as they will attain a mature size of 10-12 inches. The toilet tank and sink are not at all suitable for gold fish. They need something that's smaller and easier to keep. Like zebra danios.

I agree. Plus what about the heat generated from that grill top? That's going to rapidly change the temperature and is not healthy for any fish!

Typo- meant sink top in reference to running hot water through the pipes and such.

Salt water aquariums are the best....harder to keep but the fish are so much cooler... those were some cool looking aquariums

I am still not sure. The best way to run an aquarium, a fresh water one, is to have an under gravel filter connected to power head(s) and to a very good filter. Unfortunately, .. this trpe of set up should be left to the professionals

Awesome Aquarium, ...HOW DO YOU CLEAN IT?

There are some high-powered filters that will keep an aquarium clean for long stretches of time but, occasionally, aquariums do need to be drained and cleaned. The cleaning agents I used for over twenty years to clean my aquariums were salt to kill bacteria and vinegar to kill fungus. I never used anything else. I never had a problem.
