Plus one on this and add phosphate and nitrate probe as well. Heck even if they can get a digital nitrate checker that would be great, I hate comparing the color lol

How 'bout a remote control/auto mini submarine? That would solve a few issues already listed here. A lttle like a roomba, goes around harvesting unwanted algae & stuff, then parks itself when done. Option for remote control so you can drive it around to do other stuff. Maybe it could even have probes on it too, with a wireless xmitter to send paramaters to your notebook or smart phone.

As far as skillsets, I have an electrical/electronics background and am fairly handy with some other stuff too.

Love that idea ! But lets make it a "Micro Sub" or optional Nano Sub, Plus the little sub can have a high power laser to kill Giant Eunicid (bobbit ) worms. Or better yet an arm that will grab the worm and wont let go, so the giant worm can be transfered to another tank.

Here is a video about ways to enjoy your worm!

Great video, I like Gummi Bears though. Wonder if they make giant versions of those?

As far as the submarine, technology for that is out there, but development would require some pretty serious robotics & programming skills, neither of which I have.

Here's a vid on some scary nano quadrotors....

Interesting I might have to get me one of those nitrate testers lol
