i dont know how i would live without a turkey baster. I use it to blast stuff off rocks, get sexy shrimp off corals, even move stuff around sometimes (mainly just this stupid xenia that always falls over) i use it to help fill my ac20 up when i unplug it, i use it to feed. I could not function without it haha
 
an old credit card type card--- i use it inside the tank to easily remove coraline....
 
I don't know what I would do without a pair of 36" tongs they sell at most LFS's. I use them all the time, everyday.

- Tongs/Grabbers are a must

I also have the 9.99 ones from Harbor Freight with suction cups on them. They work for the larger stuff, and not to hurt the frags, or scratch them like the other tongs do.

I use a cup scrubber to clean the skimmer out. Same concept at the paint sponge, but I had it handy, and it is a lot faster/easier for me.

I just cleaned all my glass on my lights with steel wool, since that was an idea I read on here. The magic scrubber sounds like a good idea I'll have to try.
