CJs Aquatics Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 Hey all, so I watch a lot of fish room tours among other things and tend to notice everyone has something that makes there fish room special or unique. Sometimes it’s a piece of equipment, an idea, an innovation, sometimes it’s something much more subtle. Regardless that’s part of the fun of watching, I’ve picked up a few ideas I incorporated from them myself. It’s kind of like passing down the family recipe in a sense, everyone does something cool/ different/ efficient/ special etc. I thought it might be fun to share some of these with each other, what makes your fish room unique? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think @tolstoy21 is building his own, but it would be cool if @Cory or @Dean’s Fishroom commented! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really a “fish room” per-say but my tank keeps my room warm (not fun when it’s 100f outside!) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tolstoy21 Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 (edited) @TheSwissAquarist My fish room is pretty cookie-cutter and not completely finished. What makes it unique? Um . . . . an infestation of camel crickets? Oh also, it's powered by hopes and unfulfilled dreams! (Well that and a decent amount of electricity) Edited November 16, 2022 by tolstoy21 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least there’s something unique 🤕… you spring to mind as a fishroom builder. Isn’t @Jimmy doing one? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I learned this past year that they are attracted to humidity and moisture. Problem solved with a dehumidifier and some glue traps made specifically for crickets. I thought I had maybe a few dozen of them. After a couple days with the glue traps out I discovered there were HUNDREDS! RIP camel crickets. Also, oscars regard them as tasty treats, but they are a bit hard to catch (for me at least, not the oscars)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if you had any reptiles you wouldn’t need to buy crickets! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Learning something new every day. I've never encountered a Camel/Cave/Spider cricket any where except inside an actual cave. I guess we can both be glad that they don't chirp.

Levi_Aquatics Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 Idk if this counts as a fish room, but I have a grow tent with my aquariums inside. I was inspired by this video a few years ago and just got around to making my own. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=A4mjxIgHcKw I will be creating a thread to show how I set it up and what all I’m keeping in it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
