Administrators Cory Posted July 22, 2020 Administrators Share Posted July 22, 2020 I want IV drip bags filled with live baby brine or green water, daphnia, or rotibers that you hang and control the drips into aquariums to feed over time. id also love it if there was fairy shrimp eggs have vested in mass so it was freshwater brine shrimp essentially.

Like this? I catch native fairy shrimp from time to time, but never get more than a few when I have tried to raise them. They are huge and so pretty. 5 1 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LC Roszell Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 I would enjoy having 2 layer sponge filters. Finer sponge on the inside of a coarse sponge. I've thought about how to make it before but tried a box filter first to clean up my water better than single density sponges could do. I didn't want to add anything to the tank not run by air. So far the box filter worked well enough with the coop square sponge media, I bought 2 more. But I do wish it was as easy to just drop in the tank and forget as weighted sponges are. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be easier just running two separate sponge filters in the aquarium. One coarse, one fine. You can always get inventive on your own, with a personalized design too; by fusing various sponge material together onto one sponge filter housing. Lots of possibilities. 😊 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDojoMojo Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 (edited) This one isn't much of a fantasy, because I know they have to exist somewhere for saltwater if not freshwater, but just a relatively cost effective (obviously couldn't be cheap, but hopefully not insane) digital meter for all the stuff we'd normally test and more. What I'd love is just a handful of little meters that I clip to the side of my tank when testing or prop up inside a cup of the tank's water, and after a minute or two, it tells me all my concentrations accurate down to the decimal. I have found that a lot of the liquid test kits can give very different results each time since there's an infinite amount of variables that can be hard to prevent. Specifically the API nitrate test I have found to be inaccurate sometimes. What I would love to get first would be Nitrate, Ammonia, Phosphate, and then probably Oxygen, GH+KH, and CO2 would all be a dream come true!

Ksant6 Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 Mine is a root tab inserter thingy. Like giant syringe for root tabs because my tank is deep and my arms cannot reach the substrate without me getting soaked. After searching feverishly for such a thing I actually saw it on one of Rachel O'Leary's videos. She said it is not available in the U.S. So it exists and i am waiting for Aquarium Co-op to bring it to us. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was designed to put fertilizer tabs in the substrate. I like the name 'Bottom Release'. ☺️ You push the plunger and it pushed the pellet out the bottom. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both are items you size to the tank volume, so why not combine them? It'd be sweet to come up with an aftermarket impeller / heater insert that would work in an Aquaclear so you only have one plug to plug in. That’s a great idea 👍 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sliceofnature Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 An expandable tank! You could start small and just upgrade over time by buying another section of tank, sliding a new section on to one side, remove a divider and viola bigger tank! Also you could divide the sections and create smaller tanks if you liked. 15 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiffany Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 I want a cory clone/app thing so when I have dumb question I can ask. Even if it just gives me a good source to go look up and do research.

Brandy Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 I dream of having a big tank that is hooked to an aquaponics system, and runs the sump thru plants AND a fish food culture at the same time. This will not be happening in my current apartment. 🤣 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AquaDose is a UK company that make heavy duty aquaculture control system like this. That picture above is from Mike Hellweg's book on culturing live foods. His DIY version to the left of the AquaDose is just an hospital IV bag. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Cory Posted July 28, 2020 Administrators Share Posted July 28, 2020 Thanks, ordered the reusable IV bag. I had always meant to find one like that, but it never made it to the top of my list. I can't wait to experiment with it. Drip feeding daphnia ponds, drip feeding live baby brine into a tank possibly, can't wait! This will be the most fun I've had with $15 ina long time!
