Marine Metal Aeratr Bubble Box – Item of the Day

The Survival Podcast Posted on by

Every day I bring you an item on Amazon that I personally use or has been purchased by many members of the audience and I have researched enough to recommend.

Today’s TSP Amazon Item of the day is the Marine Metal Aeratr Bubble Box.  Yes this is another item for your fishing kit, but it is more than that, a lot more.  In the end what this is comes down to a battery powered aerator that runs about 40 hours on 2 D-Cell Batteries.  Again 40 hours!

So sure I keep one in my Fishing Kit, because it can keep bait alive or fish that I want to bring home alive in a bucket.  That is what most people use this for.  Yet there are other things one may need this for.

Let me ask you, do you keep fish at all?  Like do you have an aquarium?  Or an aquaponics system?  Now I am not suggesting that this little box can keep your 55 gallon tank or 300 gallon IBC running like a top long term, but what if you power goes out for a day or two?

Like many of you I have a generator but you can only run so many things and like many of you I am all about running what you can on batteries when it makes sense.  So consider with a 12 pack of cheap D-Cell batteries and two of these boxes you could keep two tanks aerated for 120 strait hours.  Folks that is 5 days!

Again long term this is not a solution for larger tanks but during an outage this could save you hundreds or even thousands of dollars in lost fish!  And what does this little magic box set you back, a whopping 8 bucks.

Oh and hey what about you high gravity beer and mead brewers?  Those of you wanting to push things to 16-20% ABV, one key to that is oxygen, so you hook this little bad boy up to your carboy, (sanitize the hose and stone of course) and run it for 6 hours before setting your airlock into place!  Note if you plan to do this you should get one dedicated ONLY to this use.

Again my main use for this is keeping fish alive in the field, mostly for bait and it is outstanding for that, but for 8 bucks it does a lot of other things.  So consider adding the Marine Metal Aeratr Bubble Box to your kit today.

Marine Metal Aeratr Bubble Box – Item of the Day — 4 Comments

  1. When I saw this, my first thought was mobile compost tea production. An organic landscaper pulls up to your property and he has a bucket bubbling away to keep the microbe population at the maximum right up until the time of use. Then pour in your fish emulsion, AC vinegar, molasses, and liquid seaweed to make fresh Garrett Juice Plus on site. Not that the Garrett Juice isn’t effective without this, but as soon as the aeration is stopped the microbe population starts to die off.

    • Great point and for the typical small gardener it would be fine for their day to day use.

    • Yes! Great idea, Tim. I want to make compost tea in a 5 gal bucket, and really would prefer to brew it in the garden where I would use it instead of close to where I have power. I’m wimpy and transporting it to the main crop garden is a pain in the neck, so I have avoided making it thus far… but not for this coming season!
