Aquarium display at LEGO store
With other members of the Bay Area LEGO Users Group, I helped install a new aquarium-themed display at the Stoneridge Mall LEGO store in Pleasanton, CA on Feb 20, 2006. My contributions to this display were two fish and some seaweed.
The fish that appear to be floating in air, and the seaweed that I created (on the left side of the “tank,” made out of LEGO palm frond pieces) are suspended by threads, at the other end of which are magnets that cling to the shelf above the display. The large octopus is suspended by threads too, but it’s too heavy for magnets so the threads are wrapped around the shelf supports.

Sure beats the trouble of maintaining a real fish tank! What a great idea. I can just imagine how difficult it must have been. The octopus is just amazing. Nice one guys.
