Tip of the Day – 6/12/2013

Want to monitor your aquarium from anywhere in the world, but hate relying on email and text message updates from your aquarium controller? Try setting up a video camera that is web accessible. There are plenty of products on the market, ranging from security camera to webcams that can be accessed directly through the net. Or, if you have an Neptune Systems Aquacontroller Apex, you could hook a webcam directly up to your aquarium controller. Regardless of how you do it, the point is you have non-stop access to your aquarium so you can see if there is a problem or if someone is tampering with your precious hobby. Just be sure you don’t obsess over your aquarium with your new found gadgets and constantly watch it during the day. You have to work and socialize too, you know.
