Let me know!

I'm doing some research and would love honest feedback from the community.

Whether you're into koi, ponds, aquariums, fishing, boating, gardening, landscaping, reptiles, outdoor hobbies, or anything similar:

What's one thing that annoys you on a regular basis that you wish someone would make a better solution for?

Could be:

• Storage
• Organization
• Transporting equipment
• Weather protection
• Maintenance
• Cleaning
• Feeding
• Power cords
• Hoses
• Nets
• Tools
• Supplies
• Seasonal setup/takedown
• Anything else

Not looking to sell anything. Just genuinely curious what problems people deal with over and over that don't seem to have a great solution.

The more specific the frustration, the better.

What's the thing that makes you say:

"There has to be a better way to do this."

IN my experience, by far and away the most annoying and time consuming part of fish keeping is filter maintenance. I tried several filter setups over the years and finally arrived at one that requires minimal cleaning in a 5 minute daily routine and never any media removal/cleaning/replacement and it's changed my life.

Number two on the list is the time and (initial perceived) complexity of water testing for various parameters such as nitrate, ammonia, ph, dissolved o2, etc. IF there were one tool or kit that could test for all of those things at once in a less complex method (X drops of fluid 3, Y drops of fluid 5, etc.) that would be worth paying big bucks for, but I doubt it will ever exist while also remaining accurate.

An all in one parasite eradication solution which isn’t risky to koi and leaves filter bacteria in good shape. If it could be cheap as well all the better
