Deckoz2302 Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 I must be the only one who hates cleaning glass lol. So here is my idea...someone make it lol We have automatic vacuums for pools.... We have automatic vacuums for carpets... We have automatic floor scrubbers/mops... We have automatic lawn mowers.... Half of the world is ####ing automatic... Why can't I have a little robot that makes its rounds on my glass every day so that everything in my tank will be automatic except fillung up dosing jugs/ato, feeding, and cleaning the skimmer cup.... Sure would be nice...I can dream huh Link to comment

PiscesBoy Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 I don't think it's cost efficient. I'd rather clean it myself then drop more than $300 dollars. That's a lot of money. Gotta wait for technology to be more efficient/cheaper. Link to comment

Gotta wait for technology to be more efficient/cheaper. Money and reefing have never been an issue for me as they are one in the same. Also if you've seen my tanks you'll realize im all about nice equipment that is automated...so I can spend more time enjoying then working. No one likes a hobby to become work lol Sooooo gonna buy one...after I confirm that it can detect sand lol Link to comment
rev138 Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 It looks pretty massive. I don't think it's practical for most nanos. Link to comment

No one likes a hobby to become work lol Sooooo gonna buy one...after I confirm that it can detect sand lol Make sure it can turn corners to do the sides. Isn't that what the wife and kids are for? A tank relieves stress caused by the wife and kids. Never mix the two. Link to comment

Lol both are great lol It looks pretty massive. I don't think it's practical for most nanos. New tank not so nano :] Link to comment
1reefluvr2 Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Lol both are great lol New tank not so nano :] What is the size of the new tank? I was looking into that for my 375 gallon but it takes alot of room then iT cant turn corners and you have to clean it and then it takes for ever to do a front panel 8 feet long then sides then back ... Not worh the headache.. If I wanted headaches I would get married instead and have a few kids. Link to comment

I think they look awesome. Link to comment
TeflonTomDosh Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 http://robosnail.com/ It exists. just got the email from them today, and as of now only supports tanks up to 10mm thick. Oh well. Link to comment
StevieT Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 I got to see it in action at MACNA 2012. It is cool. Not useful yet in nano aquariums but they will have a sized down model in time permitting they can reinvest profits into the company. It does the front of the glass for now. In the future I'm sure it will do more. It does avoid the sand. Link to comment

Not worh the headache.. If I wanted headaches I would get married instead and have a few kids. I spoke to the guy over the phone a minute ago they are working on one that can turn corners. My tank is 80 48x24x16. But in reality I have been buying equipment for it that I can use on my 160 cube that I had built last year whwn we built a house that we didnt follow through with. My 160 is 48x48x16 and is a complete walk around with center glass tube overflows so the idea would definitely be necessary to turn corners because I surely dont want to clean 24 sqft of glass daily lol Hee-ROOOO If you get one let me know how it works. I think they look awesome. I will This is just to freakin cool Link to comment

gearedforacure Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Your original post reminded me of Lewis Black talking about losing the Ozone layer. I cant find the video clip, but if you have heard him, im sure you can hear it. "They say we dont have seasons anymore because we lost the Ozone....Well....why dont we put it on a milk carton and FIND IT! We have men, we have rockets, we have Saran Wrap...FIX IT!"

Redemer123 Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 manual cleaning is fine, automatic glass cleaners would just add to the number of disasters that can occur with a saltwater tank. Link to comment
