This is a giant aquarium.  Its specs are 54w X 480l X 640h. it includes a light on the inside, which is an entity, and you can tailor it however you like.  there is also a ladder on the back in order to climb up to the catwalk on the top.  one of the sections of the catwalk is breakaway.
also, there is a ladder into the tank from the catwalk in case you fall in.  also, any daring adventurers who survive inside the tank long enough may find the button hidden among the rocks that moves the larger rock on the left side to reveal a hidden passage to... well, wherever you want it to go to.
I'll leave that to your discretion.  I left in all of the sealife i had in originally, feel free to take out some of the Ichthyosaurs in order to speed up the framerate.  headcrabs also look good hiding among the rocks.  leaches are equally acceptable.

I had originally wanted to make all four sides glass, but when the damn thing compiled at all, it took 400+ seconds, (probably due to the complex lighting).  another idea that i really wanted to do, but couldnt figure out, was to put sky between the glass and metal backing on the back an sides, in order
to simulate the fake backgrounds used in real fishtanks.  suffice it to say, i couldnt get it to work.  if anyone out there in netland figures out how to do that, PLEASE let me know.

email me with any ideas thoughts, or criticism. (preferably one of the first two.)

Feel free to use this in your levels, but please give me credit in your .txt file and email me so i can take a look!
