Amazing use for household item

[Undawada]

I'm talking about the humble plastic milk pitcher. Mine has served me well. I use it to scoop out foating junk, defrosting frozen foods, priming my aquaclear filter, so many things I cannot remember. Yes it says "for fish pee" on it, that's to keep my housemates from using it for milk

That's pretty funny!

My favorite household item now turned fish item is my 5 gallon wine bucket. It was previously used to ferment grape juice and now serves my fishies well! It's great because it has 1 through 5 gallon markings on it so I always know exactly how much water I took out (or put in).

I don't know if its a household item, but I use my mom's hairclip (those really big ones) to clip the end of a syphon to the bucket when i'm gravel cleaning/waterchanges/etc so I won't have to worry about it

mine is a kitchen strainer(used for noodles) to clean new gravel with and my others are 2 1/2 quart pitchers that i use to change a little bit of water/add more water, and house small fish temporarly(only a few min so dont worry anyone)

Well it's not a very imaginative use but I have stolen the digital meat thermometer from the kitchen drawer after finding out it works from -40 to 450 degrees F in tenths of a degree and switches from C to F if needed. Now water changes are within a tenth of a degree instead of 2-3 degrees

Looks like this one but has a C-F switch too.

I like cutting out the feet of old holey pantyhose to use for housing charcoal in the filter. No need to buy expensive bags!

I also save the PWC yuck in the buckets and water my plants, they love it.

When I do a PWC at my mom's and pour the waste on her tomato plants, I try not to think about "I'm eating fish poop" when I eat a fried green tomato over there. I feed my fish and they feed me, indirectly anyway. hehe
