This is inspirational. I am going to have a go before I replace all sealed units (they are all foggy). I hate the idea of chucking all that glass down the tip if I don't have to

This embodies the spirit of instructables for me. Making something beautiful from found objects. Really inspiring

What a great design. I love the use of the nightlatch pull round the entrance!

Beautiful, just beautiful!

I like this. Very cute. Reminds me of the aesthetic of the computer game Starship Titanic. Wouldn't work in the UK though, our electrical faceplates lack the charm!

A nice idea for a summer guest room

That is very cute! Made me smile

This is a beautifully realised project

Truly, a beautiful thing. Well done

What a brilliant idea. Some coloured lights to shine up the tubes and illuminate the bubbles would enhance the awesomeness

Love this. Creative genius/madness. Brilliant idea

A realy imaginitive idea and nicly executed

Hilarious

Yes, I admit my comments are more aimed at the theoretical ideal installation. I guess that using these tanks you would have to build an underground enclosure with a concrete load-bearing roof. (not simple or cheap)

Hi,If you are keen to keep the quality of the water as high as possible then excluding light from the tanks will discourage growth of stuff in the water. One effective way of keeping light out is to bury the tanks. Buring the tanks will also keep the water at a more even tempreature. I have read that using copper rainwater goods (gutter and downpipe) helps to sterilise the collected water

Really nice design

Nice instructable. Definitly captures the spirit of the site. I think the three dollars is fair. Cordless drills with clapped out batteries are abundant. I often see them at the tip and usually have one or two lurking around at home. Could always adapt a 12v motor from a car and run on the pc supply.
