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

[Mono]

You know, that little aquarium widget that saved your life and you wish someone had told you about ten years ago.

Mine?

I used to dread changing out my RODI filter cartridges until this baby entered my life!

Game changer.

Like Ryan would say, Right tool. Right job.

Superb Wrench SW-2-SS-1

What's yours?

Do these pipettes last? Are they durable?

I have the same one. Use it for Hanna alkalinity. Much nicer than a syringe!

My most used, best purchase and by far best return on investment is a simple pan:

What do you use the pan for?

What do you use the pan for?

I use it when I move anything wet frags, pumps, rocks, etc. I use it to keep my pipettes, measuring cups, the towels I use to clean the glass with it. Whenever I do something around my tank I have it handy.

Zero issues with mine for 8 months

Not sure this is consider a widget, but a baby bottle drying rack. I have a place to store all my drying test tubes and items after rinsing without making a mess:

A turkey baster, nylon stockings.

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

A Home Depot bucket and a $10 pump with hose for water changes has gone a long way for me. No more plumes of sand all over my tank like a Iraqi sandstorm


Thanks @Mono for this post, and thanks @Hydrored @Trivan for the gadgets that just went into my amazon cart haha

Definitely a widget.

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

Great idea!

Silicone mini ice cube trays. Fill em up with your homemade fish food and freeze. Much smaller than regular cubes and beats laying food flat in a ziploc to freeze then bash with a frozen can of something else to get pieces out

Pippettes. 100 pack from China for about $8
