They don't say anything about it mirroring anything. Does the tank create an optical phenomenon that works like a mirror? Hmmm....

Thanks for the comment. We actually use a mirror as the rear surface of the aquarium, so the reflections are produced in the normal way. Although the illusion of the reflection inside is pretty cool. Thanks again.

Damnit! you did not just hurt the fish! sigh now you ruined your whole earth thing you had going on.

[h2oboy1]

Thanks for the comments.  What you witnessed was the power of video editing. The fish was fine and lived for several more months. I understand your concerns however...

Well done, also pretty funny. I really dig the finished tank's look. Keep at it guys.

[morphman86]

I love the dudes reaction before he sees the finished project! "What the fuck, I trusted you and you broke into my house" :D

Awsome mirror though, gives me lots of ideas!

@MrMattHerndon it is, ppl throw away the most useful things. if u can recycle that for some nice stuff, why not?

homely video

[MrMattHerndon]

No offense, but dumpster diving isn't exactly a great way to advertise your cause.

very good i lacked dis program fantastic

I think one-way glass would have worked a bit better for this. That way you would see the fish when you turn the lights off and be better able to use the mirror even if the tank gets a bit dirty. Pretty cool build though and in general a neat idea.

[RTHowse01]

That sounds like what I would do. Were you involved with this project and the video? If you look at 7:25, both larger pieces of glass are obviously transparent panes of glass. When the aquarium is presented to the 'victim', it does look like it is reflecting. I wish they included the rest of the steps...
