Aquatic contraptions: Do you have any unusual tools in or around your aquarium?
Some people buy every gadget and tool that is advertised for reefing, however other people look for everyday items, items that they already have, or other items that can be repurposed to use with their reef. Some fish rooms look like many of the supporting tools and containers came from a kitchen store rather than a fish store. Whether it is PVC fitting to use in your quarantine tank, kitchen strainers to use for coral dipping, something from a 3D printer, or some other more creative option, do you use any unusual tools in or around your aquarium? Please let us know and share pictures of your creative use of repurposed items in and around your tank.
Pro Tip: Whenever placing anything in your tank, it is important to know if it is reef safe. Some items are clearly metal and other less-obvious items can leach metals and other undesirable additives into your tank. Be creative while managing your risks!
