MickS77 Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Do you use any gadgets for your aquarium? Something unconventional but that you've found makes a job easier or quicker? I originally got this magnetic stirrer for mixing up Seachem Equilibrium so it dissipates quicker when poured into the tank. I also found it makes checking some water parameters easier too. Instead of opening, closing, shaking a test tube for measuring Gh, I simply set it at slow spin and add drops until the color changes. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 This would be awesome for the API Nitrate test that you have to shake for like 3 hours for it to be accurate haha. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly haha, I did a Nitrate test last night and thought "why am I not using the stirrer?" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My current printer is over 4 years old and cost about $165-ish shipped. It's a prusa i3 DIY kit with no special features but has really been great for the money. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
