Obviously the tanks are optimized for whatever it is they do (emulating senselessness?) but is it possible to emulate that?

How much epsom salt would you need and would it be cost-effective and safe to go down the drain relative to going out to an actual tank?

Please tell me it isn’t completely impractical and it could be done :)

    Are you asking this because of Stranger Things?

    I think the biggest issue is that a bathtub isn’t big enough for most people to float in without touching the sides. Assuming the tub is large enough, the epsom salt would work to make you float and would be cost effective. You would have to figure out a way to regulate the temperature to 98.6 degrees though. And you would have to be in a pitch dark room.

      No just was taking a bath and I held my ears under for a while which is fantastic for relaxation :)

      It reminded me of the sensor deprivation tank in the sims game and I want that experience on tap :(

        Yeah that sounds nice. But what if you just ended up spending all of your time in the tank? It might be too much power to have a tank like that on tap
