早在今年6月,我们发表了一篇名为“我为海洋水族馆重新使用的前6个简单配件”,在其中讨论了几种廉价的家庭用品,可以以各种和各种方式转换为水族馆工具。当然,该清单包括剃须刀,塑料牛奶壶,塑料储物箱,牙刷,火鸡泡沫和鸡蛋板条灯散布器,只是在刮擦表面。
因此,这里还有一些奇怪的项目,可以以您可能没有考虑的方式重新使用用于水族馆:
1)塑料漏斗
Thanks to Matt Bowers for making this suggestion in the comment section of that original post (I think it deserves repeating here). As Matt noted, a floating, plastic colander “can be great for giving a rambunctious specimen a ‘time out’ without having to remove it from the system.” The colander can also be used to isolate a bullied specimen or introduce a new fish to an established community.
流过漏勺的水使鱼在漏勺的内部和外部都可以感觉到彼此的化学存在,而实际上可以彼此造成伤害/受到伤害,直到希望任何侵略性消退为止。
2)塑料冰块托盘
Ice cube trays are perfect for pre-apportioning frozen fish foods (e.g., mysids) in the event that you’re leaving town and someone else will be feeding your fish. Just put an appropriate-sized quantity of the frozen food in a compartment of the tray for each day you’ll be gone or each day the person will be stopping by to feed. (You can also use a pill organizer for this purpose.)
我还使用一个冰立方托盘在冰箱准备后将部分新鲜食品存储在冰箱中。例如,将新鲜的鱿鱼,蛤s,虾或鱼切成咬合大小的碎片后,我将食物等量等于托盘室,用保鲜膜或箔纸覆盖托盘,然后将其放入冰箱中。然后,我要做的就是根据需要弹出冷冻部分,解冻并喂我的鱼。
3)新娘面纱材料(薄纱)
I use this mesh fabric—along with a clam or scallop half shell—for a rather unconventional purpose: to create a target-feeding station for finicky long-snouted fish (e.g., butterflyfish) that don’t take an interest in food floating in the water column or are being outcompeted by tankmates at mealtimes.
I simply place thin strips of meaty food, such as clam, in the half shell, wrap the shell with bridal veil, secure the fabric with a rubber band so that it’s held taut across the shell opening, and place this makeshift feeder in the tank. The mesh keeps the food from drifting away in the current and prevents most fish in the tank from gobbling it up, but it allows slender-snouted fish to reach in and pluck out pieces at will.
4)管道清洁器
在维护水族馆设备时,我会使用管道清洁剂清洁狭窄的阀,喷嘴,软管等,即使是最小的水族馆刷子也难以或无法进入。但是,由于内部的金属电线在暴露于盐水时会迅速生锈,因此我只使用一次,并且永远不会在水族馆本身中使用。
我忘记了什么?
I’m sure there are still many more household items I haven’t mentioned in either of these posts that can be repurposed for marine aquarium use. If you can think of one, please share it in the comment section below.
