What's the BEST aquarium widget you have ever purchased?

[Jet915]

Extra large turkey baster and extra long tongs so I can limit putting my hands in the water.

Cut frozen food into cubes, toss into container, toss in freezer.
Pull food out, fill with room temp RO water to defrost, dump in tank.

*Note - do not lead your drunk friends to believe that they are truly "Jello Shots". Or do, your call*

Is that a fanny pack?

That’s it, my BRS fanny pack!

It’s an insulated frag bag, to carry frag containers in. BRS had them on sale.

I have to save my snails all the time makes you wonder how they would have survived the wild

Where did you pick this up at? Very cool container.

My husband got it from harbor freight of all places!!! Seriously though! It kinda made testing fun again! Having it all in one place, makes me feel professional! Hehe

Gotta say, doing this was my game changer for manual testing!

This is such a great Idea! Totally doing this. My test kits get scattered and then I don't want to do them.

That’s amazing

A guy in our local club has a commercial acrylic products business and whipped these frag containers out, along with killer frag racks & a custom tray to go under my sump. That bag will hold 2, so keep 28 frags.

$4.00 release tool for RODI tubing. Lol

Do you say "Expelliarmus" when using it?

 

[Trivan]

Definitely a widget.

I was thinking of buying one just like that myself for the same purpose.

Great idea!

best thing is it hold the Hanna tube vertical and items such as bone cutters to dry without it all over the place. I gone 10years with stuff all over and this cleans it all up.

Yea! We’ve tried all sorts of things to help manage our kits. But this was the end all be all! That said I am very selective of what tests go into the rig! Not saying the test I’ve chosen are the best, just the ones I trust and can use with little to no error. Hence the extra room in the kit that hasn’t been used. Saving that space for something special! Hehe. Anyone say Hanna nitrate checker?!?! Hahaha

What's in the box?

 

[Arabyps]

Flipper. It is the best.

 

[mitch91175]

Yep! Makes testing alot easier

Yeah from a widget perspective these are good. Consistent amount when testing I always good.

This is mine, plus a box of 200 blank cards from amazon. I get a fresh card for every cleaning. Glass scratches are a big pet peeve.

And I already went and bought that storage box and ordered the the pipette so I'm loving this thread obviously.
