What is your Fav Non-Essential Tool?

I have to say my storage organiser beside my aquarium. I bought it at walmart for $10 and it has 3 drawers on it. The top one for my timers and power strip for my lights, the middle for my test kits and the bottom for my turkey baster and fish bags

+1 on the shot glass. I use 2. One to defrost my mysis shrimp and one to defrost and dilute my coral food for feeding.

 

Turkey baster and chop sticks. I use a wooden chop stick for gentle poking and prying of corals and sessile inverts during feeding or other maintenance. Wood is great because it is soft enough not to damage anything, but stiff enough to get the job done.

 

My ziploc bowl and air line used for many things, keeping my clown fish away from me when i put my hand in the tank near there home and I use it for dosing(but my salt keep this mostly on the up and up now) with water changes weekly

 

I hope you only use the plastic kind and not the paper covered wires. The wire kind can easily cut through the shielding on electrical cords and cause a short if you aren't careful. Releasable cable ties (zip ties) are much safer and faster imo.

Many of the above. Plus,

Stainless Steel Tea Infuser. Put frozen food in it inside a plastic dixie cup in the fridge and the next day the phosphate and nitrate laden juices are gone but nutrients are retained. (Thawing in tank water quickly removes a lot of the vitamins). File:Tea infuser 01 Pengo.jpg - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Puppy training pads. When fragging, the absorbant side wicks off tank water and coral mucus. The other side is plastic so it prevents the coral for making a mess. puppy pee pee pads products, buy puppy pee pee pads products from alibaba.com

Pill crusher. When setting up a new tank for a customer, I will help them save money by partially using base rock. I put coralline algae into the pill crusher and spread the resulting powder on the base rock. Makes customers real happy. www.5dollarblankets.com

Plastic tool box from Home Depot. One tool box is all fragging tools, superglue, dremel, diamond bits , frag plugs, etc. Other tool box holds test kits, supplements, etc. Both of them are this model with plastic heavy duty latches Vs the metal ones (no rust). Two of the 3 organizer trays you see on top are removable. Home Design Products 22 in. Plastic Tool Box, 22 in. W x 12.2 in. D x 11.8 in.

No no no lol I see how that could be deceiving. The salt salinity by sachem 7 cups equals 15 gallons to the right SG.

 

You are correct. I only use the plastic/rubber ones that are used to hold stuff down in small packaging.

 

Oohh....then in that case....a measuring cup would be important haha.

 

Makes my life easy then guessing all the time and I have to say that salt is yes more expensive but but I barely even does any more. It is amazing try it out

 

My 2 favs,the syringe i use for everything (sucking the crap out of my skimmer cup,blowing off rocks,etc,suck up frozen foods out of the bowl and feeding,and i'm sure of several other things i'm not even thinking of) and if you notice on the ledge in front of the tank is a 24" bubble wand,perfect for a long reaching poker or moving stuff around,sometimes i whack my hermits with it if they won't stop fighting
