This is MORE than a net to catch fish!

Based on this post from @Reef Jedi I think we can all relate!

This is more than a fish net, it can serve all sorts of purposes including defending your other hand from vicious clown fish attacks!

What else have you used a fish net for?

I can think of several things but I'll let you list them. HA!

 

[edsbeaker]

Capturing the excess food when I accidentally knock my feeder into the tank.

 

[exnisstech]

Scraping asterina stars off the glass in the morning. Scrape upward and they fall into the net.
PS I've also fine mesh nets as a strainer.

 

[StartingATank]

Catching shrimp and putting them into the tank

 

[Evil1]

Skimming the leaves off my Koi pond. (Yes it is strictly for the Koi pond) lol

 

[KrisReef]

Dissolving salt in a bucket, I pour the salt into the net, keeping it from lumping on the bottom.

 

[nautical_nathaniel]

When I "harvest" my bubble algae I turn my powerhead to max and place a net in the flow to catch all of the bubbles and remove them from the tank.

I would use it to grab snails that would pass away in my tank.

I've used one to grab frags I couldn't reach that fell off the rock! HA!

 

[ColorMeGone]

I use a small net to catch the falling GSP I scape/cut off the glass. That way the pc's don't float around the tank and start spreading where I don't want it.

I used my largest net to capture a small bunny that my cat brought in the house and was hiding under a china hutch in the corner, twice.

I cut the netting off of an old one and used it to contain GAC in a small canister filter.

Your cat brought you a new pet.
Did you keep it?

I hand fed a friendly baby dove on our porch a few months ago. We have parakeets.

I use it (handle down) to flip over stupid snails that fell over and can't get right side up again like dummies they are so I don't have to stick my hand in the tank.

I think she brought them in as a midnight snack for herself.

I use it to catch cyano i am syphoning out so.

Upgrading to a draw string filter sock this week, i knock it over into the buck 40 percent of the time.

That net has saved my hand and arm so many times it deserves a medal. I have over 50+ anemone in my tank and the clowns have become progressively aggressive the more they split. They have claimed them all and I can’t do anything in the tank without being near an anemone and them defending all of them.

Same!

I used one to catch tiny fish fry in the Jupiter River Inlet (FL). I didn't know what they were until they all grew up to be Sergeant Majors!! (I released them all a year later).
