CT_ Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 (edited) A week or two ago I left my filter off all night after feeding my guppies and one was dead in the morning. I'm guessing low o2 played a role in its demise as it was happy looking the night before. Vowing to never forget isn't an option for me because i forget everything, so I got one of these wifi plugs from amazon (link below) and wrote a little service on my PC to check on the plug and turn it back on if its been off for more than two minutes. The wifi plug also has a button on the side so instead of unplugging the filter I just tap the button, feed, and whatever the guppies don't get in 2 min gets pushed down by the filter for the shrimp. Just thought it was a neat trick for those forgetful nerdy nerms out there.

FrozenFins Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 The kassa smart plugs are great too: https://www.aquariumcoop.com/products/kasa-wifi-light-timer its meant for lights, but can be used for filters too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
