A printer device that automatically senses water conditions and adds chemicals pertaining to parameters (Ca, Mg, etc) in specified amounts to desired levels. Complete with a scrubber system that pulls out unwanted chemicals (No3, Po4 etc) through reaction with a medium, similar to a chemical rebreather. Automated Water chemistry that requires 3 things 1. mechanical filtration for unwanted particles such as dust or suspended inorganic compounds that affect clarity. 2. Refilling cartridges with essential elements and changing scrubber filters. 3. Water changes, -since removing waste is no longer a concern the frequency of changes could be decreased dramatically only necessary for adding trace elements in minute levels. How much vanadium do corals need on a regular basis?

Something that could take out all of the stuff that my bacteria couldn't remove. It would replicate the sea foam that the waves create. I would be able to keep more fish and do less maintenance. I would call it a protein skimmer.

Simple, a heater that doesn't fail!
Why this hasn't been done already I don't know, but would certainly get my $$!

Pretty incredible, even though it has yet to be done w/ stability in order to stay that way.

i had an idea a while back...


i thought about dropping some sort of chemical into the tank thats harmless to any coral. the corals would absorb it up and fish like angels that would normally pick at a nice zoo would suddenly be turned off by its horrible taste!!!


ya.... this seems to be realistic!!! com on someone smarter then me! lets get this done!!!

oh and a girlfriend pill that dosent let her ***** every time the tanks needs more attention then her!

I want a forcefield that keeps the water in a cube shape without the use of glass or acrylic, so all you see is a cube of water in the room, it never needs to be scraped or cleaned in any way, wont scratch and doesnt distort what you are seeing in terms of color or shape. You can also reach straight into the water from the front to move things around and clean the rocks and sand easily. I think they manages to do it in star trek, and the movie the abyss. Maybe we should call Stephen Spielburg and ask how he did it.
how fornicated would you be if the power went out and your backup failed? hehe

My idea...
stretchy glass! Want a 33g cube? grab the corners of your 10g and pull to desired dimensions. Ready for a 300? Grab and pull. Oops, time to move...sell livestock and compress down to a tank to fit your needs.
I'll get the sham wow guy to push it when I finalize the invention details. Nothing sells a product like breath that smells of hooker spit.

A Jiro-Matic-Multi-Skoping-Flip-Flopper device.

It would basically keep the wife at bay while buying aquarium stuffs.

How about just a robot capable of performing all tests, maintenance and dosing. Be nice if it could shoot down the road and grab more beer from the convienance store also.

How about it Honda!

Forget the tests. Getting the beer is good enough for me.
