I got this idea from my favorite LFS.

Elmer's paint pens (the flat kind, not the 3D kind) write well on glass and show up well when dry. That gave me a great idea that has been working well for us. on the side of each tank we write the date of the last water change, what the water parameters were after that change, and if there is any more fish room in the tank. Across the bottom of the front of the tank we write what the tank occupants names are if they have them or just what kind of fish they are if they don't have individual names. No more paper fishy journal for us!!

Sounds great but I sadly don't know a flat Elmer paint pen.

Gwenz

lol. Me too. Tan i've always wondered as well, but never asked. lol

Hamsterman - Do they clean off the glass? Otherwise after a while we won't be able to see the fish.

Gwenz

hamstermann

yep, they scrape right off with a razor blade and the glass isn't hurt a bit.

Butterfly

you can also use alcohol if you don't want to scrape. Make sure you clean teh alcohol off tho.

you should write in the book where you put the book, then you could find it. :

Gwenz

COBettaCouple

Amorinthe

Me too! I try to keep track of my schedule, and then I lose the book! It's time to get me one of these, and stick one to everything important; keys, phone, ipod, daughter.....

COBettaCouple

that is something i could use too.. coming from Sharper Image, it's probably 10x what it should cost but a cool idea.. and i can just imagine your little girl walking around with one of those stuck to her head.. lol

armadillo

WOW! I need to get me that thing, now! They say cats spend 75% of the lives sleeping. Me? I spend 75% of my life looking for things. It drives me up the wall.
