I've seen a few worst purchase threads recently, and so I thought it might be timely to ask what are some of your favorite things you've bought for your tank? Feel free to list the very best one you've made or maybe a few things if you can't narrow it down to one.

In all seriousness, my mechanical filtration. I use polyfil and I’m probably going to be saving hundreds in the next few years instead of using other mechanical filters. Go check this poll thread I made recently about mechanical filters.

Good question, but a tough one. For me, it's a toss up between a real sump with refugium that replaced a we/dry nightmare, ATO (gotta have), LED lights that replaced my MH that ran too hot over my tall tank with a drop down ceiling, and my AWC which just made my life a whole lot easier and my corals a whole lot happier. Can't decide. Pick one. :p

A good, reliable heater and return pump tank at the top!

I purchased a used MRC Orca Pro2 skimmer from a R2R member he gave me a great deal and this thing is a Beast. It needed a little cleaning but that was easy and now its like brand new.
