Would someone please invent this product, so I can buy one?

It's a travel aquarium/fish transporter.

Size = 1-2 gallons

Features = built in temperature control, filtration, aeration

Unbreakable material (like that used for coolers) with maybe a snap-on acrylic/vented top.

Power = battery with charger -- plugs into cigarette lighter or electrical outlet.

How handy would this be for pick-ups @ meetings or traveling with fish?
 
A "Big Gulp" cup with a straw, just remember to blow instead of suck....
 
A good cooler with a heat/cold pack would do most of that and is pretty cheap. You could also use the small battery powered airators that are cheap although for local trips really not worth the effort though.

My "travel pack" is a cooler, double zip freezer bags of varying sizes and some heat packs. Works pretty well.
 
oh and a couple of those cheap Kroger plastic containers with lids.
 
Here you go sans the air part

Be careful using a power inverter with heaters unless it's a true sine wave inverter. Square waves will destroy things like cell phone batteries, laptop batteries, and heaters.
 
I've thought for the longest that someone should design a 300 to 500 watt heater that isn't two feet long (exageration, I know). I've got my 300 watt titanium heater in the overflow because its just too long to fit in my sump. Seems like you could come up with some submersible housing for a heater based on the Turbo Twist design except instead of UV light, it housed a short yet thick heater core.
 
I combination sump/canister filter would be wonderful. Sumps utilize such passive filteration, it would be cool if a canister type filteration was used instead of a return pump. If I had room under my tank, I'd hook up my HOT Magnum to my sump, but it would be cool if sumps were designed with that type of filteration built in. I installed my first sump just months ago, and was shocked at the low water clarity with the sump after years of continous diatoming with my Magnum canister. I had to ghetto rig a filter for my sump using a cut up filter sock, blue filter pad, two pieces of egg-crate and rubber bands before my water was even close to being as clear as with my canister filter.....

I must sound like a broken record huh?

That's my beef.....
 
I run a canister on my tank. I unplug and then run the right drain line into my chiller, out of my chiller into my canister out of my canister into my UV. Works great and makes changing media a snap. All you need is a canister filter and it doesn't even have to work... just not leak.

As for heaters, Hydor makes an inline heater that works pretty well by most accounts.

How would you incorporate a canister if you have a sump/fuge set-up, but you're not using a chiller?
 
Cameron,
Where is the pump in this picture or am I just not reading it correctly
