It's a big gum ball machine... It's probably 4 ft tall

You could turn the entire machine into a fish tank, even the "slide" that the gum ball twirls down after the money is put in. I'm not sure how that would be done or how hard it would be to do it, but that would be really cool!

Is it possible that you could gut the whole thing and seal it all up?

Looks like a heck of a big machine. You will have to take into account that the top will need some sure exchange, especially since betas need air access. You thinking normal substrate, our combatting more bubble gum like

That would look really cool as a tank, but how would you filter it?

You also need to think about the weight that would put on the base. It might not be a problem, but just thought it should be mentioned.

Hmm I dunno... I could tube in some air and just clean it frequently ?? Lol Idk ...

Yeah,.. Thanks that's why I ask u guys good thought

On tubing in air, betas are labyrinth fish, so they need to surface from time to time. Weird but tech heavy thought, what about installing a kinda mini sump filter thing in the base..

I know, way to complex, but someone reading this just started drawing it in their head... Heh

Idk I just thought it would be awesome... If it's impossible... that's cool but if not... hehehheehe

Structurally that thing should be tough. They are put in public places. You could just do sponge filters with the bubbler.
