Single Technology Or Innovation That Has Most Helped Aquarists?

[Zante]

What is the single technology or innovation that has made the biggest difference in how we keep fish in your opinion?

 

[coolie]

Invention of glass in the Bronze Age.

 

[DrRob]

Or possibly electricity.

 

[Zante]

I would have said the internet.

Vast amounts of information and experiences easily accessible, thousands and thousands of other aquarists to ask advice from, easy access to news and innovations and online trading that has brought the price of equipment down.

What do you think?

Chemicals? De-chlorinators, liquid test kits, medications?

I know, I'm dead clever!

 

[wrightt3]

If you can catch a fish with a cup then that means one of two things
1: You have VERY slow fish
2: I am VERY slow
3: You have supernatural, light speed reactions

 
Back to topic I think filters have to be the most important part of fishkeeping by far.
