Useless Objects Put To Good Use

If this isn't in the right place, please move it.
You know those ceramic rings that plants in Lfs often come in, I used to throw them away.
I found a new use for them, they're great for growing algae on for shrimp, or Oto's or any algae eater.
I left some in a bowl in the kitchen & within a few days they were green with algae

Ooh, good idea!

I recently needed some moss mesh, but rather than pay prices online, I cut up one of those blue mushroom boxes. Worked a treat!

On the theme of useless objects...

an empty 100ml Cuticura ( hand hygene gel ) bottle makes a perfect fluidised carbon particle filter

The blue plastic top has a see-saw opening lid that once you pop the lids see-saw section off, you'll find a hole that PERFECTLY fits an airline 90 degree connector so you can easily feed it air. Drilling numerous 1mm holes in t hebottle shoulder and a similar number on it's base then flipping it upside down.. gives the carbon a great vessel to move about in Drill a small hole to push a sucker onto it's back and then quarter fill the bottle with carbon media like Seachem Carbon MAtrix.. and hey ho it's off you go

Oh, the bottle labelling peels off very easily and leaves NO residue or sticky mess.

Cleaned up my little Fluval Chi's water in less than a day.
