Ugears Mechanical Aquarium

The Ugears Mechanical Aquarium is an ingenious saltwater fishbowl, with two tropical fish chasing each other around a forest of algae leaves, inside which hides a seahorse!
 
The beauty and variety of saltwater fish keeping makes it one of the world's most popular hobbies. Not only is this DIY aquarium model kit, with its original theme and design, a nice addition to the Ugears catalog, but it also has a unique mechanical drive.
 
The fish and algae rotate simultaneously and parallel, at different speeds, in different directions, simulating the flowing and undulating rhythms of the marine life of plants and animals. The elegant fish look like they are actually swimming as they move their head and tail back and forth.
 
The mechanical aquarium model is unique in that while many ugears models are powered by rubber belt motors, it is now powered by a spring for longer operation and longer life.
 
To set the model in motion, turn the knob under the aquarium approximately 25 half turns. Then flip the switch from STOP to SWIM mode and watch the mechanical aquarium come to life! You can stop the model at any time or just enjoy  40 seconds the movements of the fishes and leaves.
