Underwater Brine Pool

I know it's probably impossible due to how they're created in the wild, but has anyone ever tried making a brine pool in the bottom of their tank? I assume that even if it was possible, the amount of flow current in our tanks would mix the water up.

Just a thought, wondering if anyone had ever toyed with

Here's a good picture of one I found... you can even see the separate waves on its surface, underwater.

How would you even do that.... LOL

I have no idea... Its much higher salinity causes it to be more dense then the surrounding sea water so it sinks, and also I think it tends to have temps cooler then the surrounding sea water which is also why it doesn't mix...

But it looks freakin cool!

ALso don't forget about the incredible amount of pressure that's down there.
