m1ie Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 In a perfect world, there would be something that could count the number of fish in your tank-- preferably by species. As someone who worries and in more heavily planted and hide-y holed tanks it'd be nice to know that the shy or more nocturnal fish are all alright orrr if any if there were any surprise casualties or babies! (As a newbie to khuli loaches I just wanna know without spooking them...) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cys aquatics Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 My dream product would be something that you could enter in the fish you have and it would change the water peramaters and temperature to fit those fish perfectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might be able to take like a super fine pantyhose and put that around a net, bc I was trying to use it for something else where I wanted the water to flow thru but I found it didnt really do that great at it, however I'm sure itd serve your purpose great, it just would probably be a little difficult to maneuver around the water to catch the puffers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhonda Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 An automatic water chemistry adjuster. This may exist, but probably costs a fortune. The system would read parameters and add whatever is missing or low or do a water change. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ordered a wet/net from Aquatic arts but its to small. Anyone have any ideas? The little guys have to stay submerged all the time. If it does not exist yet -- any cleaver ideas folks?? Thanks! What do you think of this idea? Submerge a quart plastic container (yogurt, soup, etc.) in the tank. Use your net to catch the puffers and lift the net until the rim just breaks the surface. Keep the belly of net and the puffers submerged. Lift the plastic container under, up, and around the belly of the net. Then lift the plastic container holding the water, fish, and net out of the tank. This should keep the puffers submerged. 👍 Here is a second idea that you might need to DIY. How about a smaller version of a koi sock? (see below) The front part of the sock holds water and the back part is netting. For your version, you might want to close the belly of the net so it lets you stick just one arm into the tank. (Which I presume is much smaller than a koi pond. 😉). It seems to me this design is better than the Aquatic Arts version because the netted part allows the water to flow through, reducing drag and turbulence. This streamlining makes the sock easier to maneuver and is less likely to spook fish, which are sensitive to pressure changes caused by turbulence. 😎 Edited April 3, 2021 by Anita 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starsman20 Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 A kit that includes a never clog air stone, a flow valve, and a check valve. It always seems I am short 1 part. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It actually takes extra power when you use a valve to lower flow. I rigged mine with a cheap motor speed controller. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jungle Fan Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 (edited) A consumer report type rating magazine, or online site for all aquarium products from lights, to CO2 equipment, fish food, filters, water tests, UV sterilizers, substrate... If such a publication would exist and be honest, impartial, and not on the take from manufacturers they would rake in the money from aquarists world wide.

Krakens_tanks Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 So me and a buddy were just talking and I came up with what I think is a game changer for the hobby especially if you order fish online. Imagine a website similar to all the travel and hotel sites where you can enter the fish your looking for and it pulled up all the stores selling them and the price per fish next to it? Like oh you want neon tetras here are 30+ sellers, there location, link to there site, and price of the fish and reviews all on one site god i would love that instead of hoping page to page just to see everyone is out of stock or having to go back and trying to find the one that was .50 cents cheaper per fish or had free shipping ect. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnT Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 I'd like a digital water parameters test. Just drop some ml's of water (+ maybe some 'reagent') in the device and get some numbers out of it.

eatyourpeas Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 A tank with charging walls where all peripherals charge by contact, therefore eliminating the need for electric cords in everything used in the aquarium.
