Basically, a bug zapper over the aquarium with the catch tray removed…. I have been feeding my fish the zappings from one of these for a while and then I though how convenient it would be if I had a tank under a window. Then you could build a little screen box to enclose the zapper in an open window and then bugs would drop into the water once zapped. The ones that stay stuck in the zapper would be perfect for manual feedings.. they’ll just drop in when you tap them loose.

I don’t have this setup, I have to go out in the backyard to clean my zapper… but thought this might be a good idea for someone.

Some place like FL this could feed a tank of fish all year I bet.
 
If it fell into the tank it would fry all your fish though. Cool idea though

That's actually a common use on the lake I live on. Everyone with a fishing/boat dock has bright lights and bug zappers close to the lake surface to lure fish around their dock.

You can say the same about your lights, air pumps and everything else electrical kept above the tank.

Yea but this is basically a bunch of live un protected wires

Your not supposed to put the pumps on top of the tank lol this would be a good idea as long as there are enough bugs in your house, but it also may result in overfeeding haha
