My Tank Thread
My Aquarium Showcase
Its rare if ever than I get to a dollar store but made a stop yesterday looking for ice cube trays and wow - Its amazing at what you can find in such a store that is Very useful for reefing.
For those Hot tanks, we often refer to bags of ice for cooling tank down.
Found these on a shelf and I run a chiller but useful for many:
Turkey basters - Great for blowing off sediment especially behind rocks where detritus settles.
Food storage containers of all sizes- Great for performing dips or removing algae from frag plugs
Scrub brushes - Great for cleaning rock and pumps when soaking in vinegar
Vinegar - Ive been paying $2.00 -4.00
Bottle brushes - Perfect for cleaning hoses and tubing
Gel super glue- Best glue for fragging and was a two pack !
Pickle lime - This stuff is Kalkwasser
Toothbrush Three-pack- best mini scrubbers
Utility baskets 6" x 6" - perfect for storing all these finds plus your frag supplies and more
What has been your treasure finds at a discount store?
Im sure there were many useful items I missed as I was there a short time but talk about money savings on items we as reefers often use or need.
