[xxmoorishmanxx]

Whats your favorite not normally used for aquarium tool that you use for your tank/s?

I like the tooth brush, and turkey baster.

 

[RocketSeason]

I was just going to say the toothbrush. But I also like the electric lawnmower. I can't count the number of times I've needed to you one of those.

 

[RogerMcAllen]

I definately like turkey baster, great for spot cleaning sand.

i keep a couple of FW Betta fish, and they come in these great small little cups that are perfect to use for thawing out the frozen fish food that i feed to my tanks. i also like the toothbrush for cleaning off rocks, and the baster for spot/direct feeding!

For me, disposable gloves. I got mine in Sam club for $5/box. It is food grade and there are 500 gloves in a box. I use it for everything so that my hand is not wet. No water contamination too.

 

[RocketSeason]

yeah, but do those gloves go all the way up your arm?

COOLER........ When I make water I put the 5 gallon container in the cooler to catch the water the over flows when i forget about it. Had several floods.

 

[SoylentGrundy]

I use shotglasses for frozen food prep, and pipe cleaners to clean my spray bar holes

 

[RocketSeason]

on one particularily hot summer night I sat down with a small foam cooler, about 8 feet of tubing, and several cold packs and made my own chiller. It worked great!

 

[Boxster]

RocketSeason: No, unfortunately. I use it for feeding, or maintenance. I do have another arm long aquaglove for water change.

Hey, I have two of those cups and I use them for thawing food out as well. Great for mysis shrimp and formula two thaw detail.

Cheese grater is good for frozen squid to get smaller pieces.

 

[BBReef]

credit cards for cleaning algea off the sides of the acrylic. i also sometimes use a strainer for various reasons.

My favorite tool is the fish room. I finally cut a hole in the wall and converted my powder room into a fish room with a big slop sink and shelves to make water etc

 

[BillyZ]

I think I'd also have to go with the turkey baster! Great for the occasional dust off the rocks work.
