	lego buildings in the tank
dogmai333 Hobbyist Posts: 90 Kudos: 79 Votes: 19 Registered: 03-Feb-2005	like i said above just use silcone to hold the legos together and put enough on ther to squeeze out the air when you put them together. that way you dont have to worry about bacteria or air trying to make it float. i still love the idea, maybe for a tank in my sons room. MONKEYS ARE COOL, BUT SEA-MONKEYS ARE BETTER.

Who knew this would become such an involved project... :%) Hoping that there must be a word for everything I mean...

But I remember putting together two pieces of lego that have chips in them together and it's a real pain in the butt. I can't imagine doing that for the hundreds of pieces you need for a set. It just seems like too much work. Remember, just because you want to do it the right way, doesn't mean you have to do it the hard way. There's a smart solution to every problem.
