An one-side see through tank

They couldn't see her, because it was a one-side see through water tank. She could see them, but they could not see her.


Could you reword it? Doesn't seem to be correct.

You can't just toss in a "one-side see-through water tank" as if they sell them on Amazon. OK, maybe they do, I don't know, but it's not a common enough thing. You have to describe and explain a little: "They couldn't see her, because the way the water tank was lit and situated, it acted like a one-way mirror.

It doesn't matter if the type of glass is readily available to the general public, although it is.

The type of glass is called "one-way", not one-sided. You are redundant in stating that they could not see her twice.


The glass used in the water tank is one-way. She could them on the other side, but they couldn't see her.
