Music: "Aquatic Ambiance" by David Wise, from Donkey Kong Country 1.
This is actually a lizard tank and cannot be filled with water. But better that way to see things clearly and not worry about stickered parts peeling from the water. Over this diver sets from LEGO and some custom landscapes will be rotated in this area, as I'm a big fan of LEGO diver themes.
In this first update I added gravel to my tank before placing in several Atlantis sets: Gateway of the Squid, Portal of Atlantis, and Neptune Carrier. This is a good way for me to test the limits of what sets I can fit in here, as Atlantis hosts some of my largest diver sets. The Portal of Atlantis does stick out on top of the case so the lid does not completely close, and the lid gets in the way of some light shining through, so keeping it on there is questionable right now.
The lights above are Energizer tap lights, attached to the underside of the shelf above it. I may fit in more lights to brighten the display, as well as include blue cellophane to cover the lights to give it the oceanic blue feeling I'm looking for.
Other ideas for further updates and rotations:
- Easter Egg: Cornwall LEGO pieces that wash up on shore even 20 years later (simulation, not the actual pieces)
- Prehistoric creatures hiding in the depths
- Coral and more plant life
- Sharks and fish, maybe hiding between rocks?
- Sunken ships and hidden treasure
- Power Functions to move fish or submarines
- Other Atlantis and diver sets like Aqua Raiders and Aquazone
