[What's your dream aquarium product that doesn’t exist?]

I'd love some sort of substance that acted like activated charcoal, but was able to absorb nitrates, so that you either wouldn't need to do water changes or would have to do them a lot less frequently. I sometimes travel for work, and my roommate feeds the fish, but he can't do water changes, which is sometimes a problem. I do use seachem purigem, but i'm not sure how effective it is at decreasing the need for water change

I'd love this too!

[Oscar bully]

Need advice:. I have two young Oscars that are about 4 inches.  They've been together since they were less than 2 inches.  Tonight I noticed one really bullying the other.  If I return the bully to my LFS, they may not have a replacement that size.  Would it be asking for trouble to get one smaller than the remaining fish?

Hello from Wisconsin!  I got back into the hobby in January and already have 13 tanks (55 gallons and under)!  This time around I've had several "first" for me.  Started doing live planted tanks (have 5 now), also, first time keeping various snail breeds and breeding mystery snails, and first time breeding fish (have a clutch of Red Jewel Cichlids growing out).  All exciting things happening and keeping fish I've never had before.  The picture is of one of my favorite tanks.  15 gal. Fluval Flex with CPD, Dwarf Emerald Rasbora, couple Dragon Scale Guppies, a Hillstream loach, and a Betta.
