What tools make your hobby easier to manage?

[melev]

It's always nice to hear about gizmos and products that make it easier to care for your tank. For example the magnetic algae clip from TLF replaced the DIY one I had someone in California make for me years ago. I use it nearly daily, and have always been happy with that tool.

Here's a bunch of the things I grab regularly to tend to my aquariums.

What am I missing? What can't you live without?

I have this glass box that I use to keep my corals alive, forgot what it's caled though...

Number one tool is the apex controller, feeding syringes, long tongs, bone cutters, tweezers, & sauce cups. LOL

Turkey Baster

Long tongs (the kind with the handle you squeeze) I don't like nori clips so I hold onto the nori with my tongs as the fish eat. Also good for grabbing rocks, corals, and debris on the bottom of my tank.

Dish brush for cleaning skimmer cup

Zip ties for all kinds of stuff.

Dish brush - that reminds me of the toilet brush I bought to clean the neck of my skimmer. Sure was helpful.

Zipties are useful, you're right.

A couple of other items that could have been included:

Dremel tool - cordless is even nicer than one you must plug in.
Bandsaw - I bought one at MACNA in September and haven't even opened the box yet.
