Favorite Reefing Purchase and Why?

[AlyciaMarie Verified Admin]

Happy Monday, friends! Reef-A-Palooza Orlando was a huge success this weekend, and it got me thinking about all of the different types of purchases we make in reefing. Tanks, equipment, livestock, food for livestock, and so much more. Thinking about your reefing purchases, what has been your favorite and why? Let's discuss!

Automatic feeders are life savers. My work hours make it difficult to be home when my tank is awake sometimes so auto feeders keep my hungry fish fed.

We’re looking into the frozen feeder from inD Aquatics for the 180!

I've heard they're great but there's been some recent discussion about how they operate. @Johnd651

Red Sea ReefCan reservoir 10.6 gallon. It's tall and narrow. Taking up very little floor space inside the stand. It's one item from Red Sea that you don't have to worry about leaking

Lawnmower Blenny, all my torches, all my hammers.... Just, almost all if it :)

Favorite piece of equipment, assuming I get my nutrient export under control, is my Rain8 ATS. A very close 2nd is my auto feeder.

Torches would be one of mine, but they never seem very happy under my care...

Bigger tank haha, I’m actually in multiple smaller tanks atm but always second a bigger tank.

In all seriousness, auto top off is IMO a must for stability and quality lights are game changing and third I would say are my Hanna testers for nitrate phosphate and alk

100% agree with the baster

These...



But I built them.....I did have to buy the parts though so that should count.

#1 A used Lumenbright halide fixture that was given to me.
Why?
It gives almost double the par of the Reefbright fixture for my new growout system running a 400 watt 20K.

Livestock has to be the Choati wrasse. Equipment is the Donovan Nitrate Destroyer I built. I had to buy all the pipe to build it so Im guessing that counts.
