James Croney Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 I'm not sure its near consumer technology yet, but I can't help but day dream about a fish tank that doesn't get algae buildup. Article below, but the high level is that they left a glass window underwater for a year and it had no significant buildup or 'gunk' on it. Pretty amazing considering we all know what glass+water+light equals 😄 https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs.nanolett.8b02982 Speaking of, are there any other methods people have come up with besides the handy-dandy magfloat with scraper? Are there like "aquarium oils" that I could treat the glass with to reduce buildup? I haven't seen any that I could trust LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottieB Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Wow, there was way too much math in that paper for me, but I get the idea. Interesting premise. I think we will see versions of this first: http://www.robosnail.com/ (Its like a Romba for the aquarium glass). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
