Aquariums are built from specially enforced glass to make sure
that when the water is added to the tank and all the equipment
and the fish are in, the tank doesn't fall apart and end up all
over the floor. The glass itself is terribly heavy and when you
add water it is impossible to lift, unless you are the strongest
