    Underwater View On Hybrid Tanks

    I have used this technique since ZT1 and if this has already been told before, then I you already know this technique. But if nobody has then I will share it with you now. You will need ES and MM2!

    1. Build your Hybrid tank. Many animals use hybrids like the Walrus, Penguins, Hippos, Sea Lions and loads more! If you need help doing a hybrid tank, then check the tutorial!
    2. Make the side of the tank where you want the guest to view underwater go low.
    3. Create a Ditch next to the low tank wall you just made (smoothing the terrain gets the area better!)
    4. Place an Elevated on one side of the ditch or maby two! (I usually use two so your guests can enter and exit either side.)
    5. Make some paths in the bottom of the ditch and you could place a couple of benches, gift carts or really any building, its up to you!

    Its a really cool technique and I think it brightens the zoo up! Here's a picture which I have made the Underwater View onto my Green Sea Turtles Hybrid tank!

    Too bad MM doesn't have paths that GO THROUGH the exhibit, know? (Light Side)
    Thinking five steps ahead and observe carefully guarantees a sucess.

    Don't you normally get them without the ditch anyway...
    Be quiet, you panda pop.
    The world is my saucepan, the people are my sausages.
    O- oh, spaghettio!

    No. Since the bottom of the water is at ground level, the guests cannot view underwater without making the ditch.
