This very handy tool an be found in 'dollar stores' for you guessed it - $1. Drawback - it has a metal cord running between the handle and the pickers. But easily rinsed out and drained after use, But if it breaks, you're only out a buck.

Nice! I have a similar one that is made of all plastic and meant for aquariums, but it doesn't cost a dollar lol.
 
mine is a turkey baster. great for cleaning rocks sand and corals
I have one of those too. Got it at the same store for $1. The money I've saved there will buy a nice frag!

I picked up my second one, love it.
 
I have a dual head bottle brush. I bent the handle 180 degrees so the brushes are side by side. I cleans my skimmer collection cup, inside and out so quickly and easily. I don't ever touch skimmate anymore!
Do you have a pic. I’m having trouble visualizing this

This is a good idea I need to steal.
 
Um, I may have used a dollar store butterfly net with a bamboo handle as a long handled net. ;Shy

The long brush goes down the center tube, and the short brush cleans the skimmer collection cup. Super clean!!!

I had a Dino claw with a T-Rex head just like that T-Rex has.
 
I have the corallife version and with my recent transfer to my new tank- This was so valuable to me. Praise to this tool !!!
