Wall mounted fish bowl?

Found a lot of images of these things while just casually browsing the net today.

Obviously they seem to be way too small to keep fish in and keep them happy, but as a reefer the thought that went through my mind was... "wall mounted pico?"

I guess the tricky part would be providing circulation and heat.

 

Allthough for over a year I have kept a piece of rubble with some red low-light macro alive along with some tiny worms and pods. Is there such a thing as a no-tech Pico reef?

It wouldn't be a reef per se, but I think you could keep Hawaiian fire shrimp (opae ula) in one of those without any special equipment.

I would wonder about cleaning the glass/scratches since it looks to be plastic and a difficult shape to clean.

 

It is a cool idea though if you can work out the heating/flow/cleaning. I would try one of those $5 fountain pumps on ebay for flow. I used one in a 0.5g "betta" tank for awhile and it seemed to work well.
