clownbaby Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 Whether it is products, actual aquariums, fish, plants, books, knick-knacks... whatever, show off the coolest or favorite fish / aquarium - related thing you own! I will go first: the coolest thing I own is this book, originally published in 1967, The Life of Rivers and Streams by Robert Usinger. It talks about freshwater habitats, and talks a lot about aquatic microfauna, algae, water composition, and of course, insect larvae! While it isn't 'directly' related to aquariums, it helped my overall knowledge on aquatic habitats & ecosystems a lot. I am excited to see! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have so many fishie beanie babies, one of my favorite things I own is a pastel rainbow Great White Shark I got while visiting the Seaside Aquarium last year in Oregon. My one complaint is, like most shark stuffies, it has the wrong number of gill slits. I love the teeth though! ... and my 'ocean' and aquatic beanies ! the hammerhead and goochy the jellyfish are my favs of these 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T. Payne Posted June 8 Share Posted June 8 @tolstoy21 is that for brine shrimp? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VanDogh Posted June 8 Share Posted June 8 The 'coolest thing' (and I genuinely love it) is my special pump I use for water changes. It has a 10 meter long hose that I can connect to the sink and vice versa. I won't have to run back and forth with a bucket a hundred times during water changes. Life changer. Maybe this is lame but I think it's so cool haha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My well water TDS is pretty high so I burn through a lot of resin making RODI water. So, a while back, I started regenerating and re-using resin as opposed to having to mortgage my home to afford new resin all the time. Specifically, I go through anion resin very quickly. Cation resin last me much longer before needing to be recharged. The first picture is a separating funnel used for separating the anion from cation resin in 'mixed-bed' type resins (they have to be separated because they are re-generated differently). The second picture is a filter funnel for draining and rinsing the resin when it's done recharging. Having these on hand makes the process of recharging resins much simpler for me than it was when I originally started do this. But, now that you mention it, the separating funnel would make a mighty fine brine shrimp hatchery! Edited June 8 by tolstoy21 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T. Payne Posted June 8 Share Posted June 8 Gotcha. It would indeed be a fancy brine shrimp hatchery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
