Keeping an aquarium definitely takes some effort, especially if you want to create something worthy of discussion among your friends and family. Thankfully, today there are a huge variety of marine products in the market, specifically designed to make your marine keep experience a little easier.
In this article, we have compiled top unique and super helpful aquarium products that you may not even know existed:
Tank Cleaner Set
Keeping your aquarium in tip-top shape is important for the longevity of the product as well as the health of your tank. However, having your pump fail and go out of order can be a real pain, especially if it happens at a time when driving to your local fish store to pick up a replacement is not exactly an option.
We recommend you thoroughly inspect and clean all pumps running in your aquarium every three to six months. By doing this, you can remove the build-up, really shorten your pump's life span, and even cause a failure.
The TUNZE cleaning set is a great little kit. This means there is various equipment to help clean your pump. While the kit was made especially for the TUNZE line of pumps, the tools are perfect for every type of aquarium pump on the market.
The kit includes various size bottle brushes that are perfect for cleaning out little notches and crevices, some citric acid solution with a spray bottle to help remove build-up calcium, as well as cleaning cloth to clean up the glass of your tank. The larger brushes can also be used to clean out your protein skimmer and those hard-to-reach areas of your filters.
Magical Fishfood Feeder
Feeding your fish is one of the most pleasurable duties that come along with keeping an aquarium. For many of us, this may be the only chance to observe and enjoy the tank regularly. The innovative Gourmet Gadget Collection has three different feeding tools that help take the hassle out of feeding your tank, no matter what type of fish you feed.
The Gourmet defroster is a magnetically mounted frozen food dispenser that allows you to throw in a chunk of frozen food and adjust the rate at which the food is dispensed from a central location. This helps you get the food to all the tank inhabitants and keep the food out of your filters. The device can also be used as a feeding ring by simply removing the clear cylinders.
The Gourmet Grinder is a unique tool that allows you to quickly and easily grind up and dispense flake or pellet food into your aquarium without ever touching the food. The grinder holds many flakes or pellets and pushes the button to grind and dispense the food.
The little water level indicator tells you how far to summer the grinder is, which then dispenses the food underwater and prevents the pellets from floating on the surface and going into your filters.
Have you ever purchased the wrong size pellets for your fish? Well, the Gourmet grinder is the perfect solution to make use of that food.
Finally, the Gourmet grazer, a magnetically mounted seaweed holder that secures seaweed inside your aquarium to naturally graze on the food throughout the day. You can then easily remove any uneaten seaweed, which will prevent nuisance algae and nutrient level spikes in the tank.
Frag Cave
Marine Depot Frag Cave is another unique product that allows you to grow and mount corals inside of your tank without having to stare at an industrial-looking frag rack. Let's be honest, not all of us have the time to keep a separate frag tank, but that doesn't time and energy to keep up with frag tanks, but that doesn't mean that we should miss out on the fun of trading corals with our friends.
The Frag cave is a fired ceramic cave that looks like a natural rock. Mulitple brands over it are various sizes that can hold several frag plugs. Each frag plug can easily be removed and then replaced. Once introduced in your tank, the cave will provide excellent habitat for your fish and inverts and will seamlessly blend into the rest of your aquascape.
Coral View
A coral view is a simple device that has been around for a long time, but not all of us really understand the benefits of having one at home. In fish stores, these devices are used to get a clear top view of the corals for sale. They also offer a unique angle for photographing your corals from the top down.
The little acrylic chambers can also double as a container for temporarily holding frags, defrosting frozen food, or even acclimating new arrivals!
Submersible Wifi Camera
The ability to integrate a wifi camera into your aquarium controller has been around for a few years. However, up until now, we have not seen a submersible version of these wifi cameras available at such an affordable price. The new IceCap Reef Cam is a submersible wifi camera that allows you to view and monitor your tank directly from your smartphone or tablet.
The camera hooks up with your home wifi network, and you can then log in to the application and get a live view of your tank from anywhere in the world. So not only is this camera useful to check up on our tank when you are away, but it also allows you to show off your hard work to aquarium hobbyists everywhere.
That's all for this article. Let us what you think about the unique aquarium equipment that everyone should know about in the comments.
Happy Fish Keeping!
