your most ridiculous aquarium diy tool?

[king aiptasia]

Yesterday I needed a temporary bubbler and was out of good spargers, so I took a dry corncob (from when i was processing corn for animals) and cored it and put that in to make bubbles, it looked ridiculous but it worked for the day. anyone else done something ridiculous?

I use a shower curtain ring to hold my filter socks. It makes it easy to change them out.

I use a fiberglass stake (the type people use to show where the curb is when snow covered) with airline tubing zip-tied to it and then shove a 15ml syringe to the back end. This is my makeshift turkey baster/ target feeder.

Have made multiple over the years. Works great

Probably my most used tool fits this. A 3’ piece of coated wire bent into hooks on each end. Pick things up, push things over, help a snail that capsized. Doesn’t drip like the plastic grabber tool. Fits in tight gaps. Great for clean out of hoses too.

3 foot wood dowel with angled saw cut at one end to hold single edge razor blade. Great for Coraline clean up from glass

I needed a tool to get between the baffles of my sump, so I taped a silver baby spoon to a long stick to reach in and scrape out the junk between baffles.

Not really all that crazy but I built a co2 scrubber for nano tanks the other day. Works almost too good for a random project. @footgal in case you need to boost pH
