Some people find life hacks through out daily life, but in the hobby there are many day to day items us reefers somehow are able to utilize within this hobby of ours! So... the question at hand tonight is what is your favorite non-reefing related tool that helps you out through out your day to day activities in this hobby?

Mine? The common toothbrush. So useful to get into tiny places for algae cleaning, frag plug beautification, and overall can be a fairly handle glass cleaner.

Now lets hear it from you all! What is yours?

I have this strainer that was part of a salad Tupperware set. It is small enough to easily hang from the euro-bracing with rubber bands. Use it for things I want to either get out of the tank but can't get to the store/friends/etc or acclimate things for a little bit.

I bought a small squeegee to use for attaching the vinyl black background on my nano tank.

I now use it regularly to keep the outside of the tank glass clean.

I don't know if it counts as a non-reefing tool but I also bought an acrylic tube, to make Kalkwasser container, that I have re-purposed.

Instead of using it for that, I slide pellets down it to spot feed my sexy shrimp.
