Wow back on topic. Amazing...

But I concur. It's the adapting things for the aquarium and the tips and 
tricks of having to find out how to do stuff and making your own bits and 
pieces. DIY is a big piece of the aquarium hobby.
Strangely most of the fish stores don't support this aspect.

I made my own 10W aquarium heater for example, temperature controlled, etc. 
out of a test tube and a few resistors and semi-conductors.

I love finding out about chemicals and how to make them do something not 
mentioned on the label. A lost art these days.

I started work in electronic fault-finding and moved into computers. So not 
only do I know how most things today are made and work, but how the software 
inside them works too.
