I had to find a way that does not need holes drilled in the bottom of the tank, or to have pumps and things that I didnt own.
My system just used the things I had already to suck the air out of the upside down tank.
I will try to find some old video i took 2 years ago.

due to it being the dead of winter here and my pond is froze over, I cant make a video right now.
However if you have any questions I will be happy to answer what I can for you.
My basic system is just to get the same effect that the more well known guys have as seen in the great YouTube videos of upside down tanks, without the need for all the holes drilled and the different types of sucking pumps and one-way valves and all the big-brain knowledge I didnt have.
I dont know how to rig air pumps and all that stuff.
I dont know how to make a hole in glass , or how to build a fish tank.
My system was to just use what i already had.
I already had a underwater pump and a venturi...turns out thats all I needed!

I think it must be 2 years by now, from the time I did my first experiments with my idea for an upside down tank.
At first I put this to the test in a old 4X8 indoor pond I made for my goldfish.
It worked , and not just worked, it was "better" than all the other means to get airflow into an upside down tank.
I was happy I came up with this idea all on my own.
I made a video about how it looked and had a fun time on YouTube answering questions about how it worked.
But my wife didnt like the final look of the pond/tank and thats why right now Im looking into learning how to make a glass tank of my own design.
I really like the look of the YouTube's FishFreedom designs I just don't want to have all the air-sucking pumps and drilled holes and stuff that everyone else was useing.
