Re: Aquatic Plants Digest V3 #1151



Hello Hoa,

The air prewssure keeps the water in the "bridge" over the tank's
surface.

If one evecuates the air from the headspace and if the vertical columns
are _below_ the water surface, water will rise in the colums and
eventually fill the available space completely.

It DOES create an unusual effect!

Best,

George
