Battery Operated Dawn Dish Scrubber! Best thing in the world for cleaning glass or acrylic! Bristles are stiff enough to get coraline yet won't scratch acrylic!

My new skimmer, I'm in love!!

Plain old hose for sucking out detrius and changing water. Clear so I can see the crud.

I have many tools and most of them i could not live without, but the best most frequently used tool ( outside of the items that run 24/7) is the refractometer.I use it at least 2 times each day to verify where my salinity is! but then again my timers that turn lights on & off are pretty important also, in short it is hard to choose just one!

Refractometer and Turkey baster....I need a belt holster for both of them...LOL...

I am going on vacation soon and I just got an auto top off system.
How cool!

My favorite tool is this grabby thing, holding the battery, that I buy by the dozen. It reaches in spots in the tank that I cannot reach. I rinse it off after each use and any sign of rust I chuck it in the garbage and break out a new one. I can't count how many times this thing has saved something that has fallen in my tank that I otherwise could not reach.
