Ill take that bet ....you can keep the water though ;)


I can access any light, pump or meter on my main display from anywhere on earth at any time.... from my iPhone. I can program seasonal lighting changes on the fly. I can pretty much program anything I want to once connected to the Apex. Water changes, dosing pumps, you name it.

Totally unnecessary for most but I travel for a living, so its a useful tool.

If you had told my dad in 1972 that we would be able to control an entire aquarium via the Internet, he would have asked "What's the Internet?"

We've got a long way to go, but we ve come a long ways already.

That's pretty crazy, an app to control your fish tank?! And pole, I mean cmon man, think rationally, nobody but trained scientists will be able to maintain something like celocanth or gulper eel in tanks. So many factors to consider, plus feeding would be a hell of a time. I don't see that being common for a very very long time if ever, for sure not in our lifetimes.

Fishkeeping has for sure come light years since the Victorian age, tive recently been looking into that because a steampunk Victorian-esque themed tank would be insane, some sort of crazy facade and cover for the filter. I'm going to start using a dremel to make tank facades to cover up the corners, something with a cool design. On my main tank I plan on doing an African style, seeing as though it will be bichirs and an FATF

Every old school fish keeper in my family (and I mean old old) still do this no matter what I tell them. Once the water gets green or brown or nasty and cloudy. All the fish go in a bucket the tank and gravel gets rinsed out completely and refilled and fish go back. So what would happen is they would always lose some fish and there will always be that one fish that makes it (goldfish or pleco usually) that grow to huge but deformed stunted size. So of course for generations they would think this method and a 20g was appropriate size for these fish because "they lived for so many years" doing this.
