      I literally just built one of these with my son on Saturday and I'm almost certain we used this exact article as a guide (along with a video we found on youtube).

      (As an aside, "Quantum Physics for Dummies" is surprisingly readable and concise)

      TIPS: If your fishtank lid is especially cheap, the dry ice may crack it. Also, make sure you place the tank in a room that you can make completely dark - trying to move the thing to a darker room destroys the trails :)

      I just checked and there is a "Quantum Physics for Dummies" on Amazon for preorder. It's due to come out early next year.
