6. Gumball Machine Aquarium
Well it turns out gumball machines make for the coolest fish tanks. Dust off that old candy dispenser and create this retro funky gumball fish tank! And I tell you, it is absolutely awesome! I love the look. It might be a cool idea to use various marbles/multicolor balls as gravel, then that would also look like gumballs.
7. Fish Tank Elevator
Wow, this is something so uniquely done! All you have to do is use a gal jar and a type of stand place the jar in the water on its side, let it fill with water then tip it up slowly bottom up, and place the jar mouth into the stand, making sure to keep the mouth under water. The fish can swim up into the jar as they wish.
