Sounds like a silly question but I wondered what everyone’s must have equipment is? I have some things on my list I need to buy like some long gloves, a long turkey baster, some super glue... and oh yeah towels lots of towels!
I have yet to venture into the land of coral propagation and whatnot tho!
 
I guess I should change my title as I intended this to be more about tools and other stuff rather than actual equipment such as a tank and apex. Stuff like to help everyday and whatnot.
 
That clear container with a handle - idk what it's called. an absolute must lol. Oh, and coral glue. always stay stocked with coral glue :)
 
what do you use them for?
Feeding mysis to lps, feeding mysis to fish, grabbing coral, grabbing frags, holding new frags steady while glue dries, moving small/medium rocks, a million other things. They basically extend your reach an additional 12+ inches which is super helpful in most tanks. I try to avoid touching coral with my hands as much as possible.
 
yep step ladder is good
One of those hang on the tank boxes or 2 of them
ya beat me to it
mine holds beakers, baster ect...

Step ladder, transfer pipettes, small plastic containers, graduated syringes, 0.2um syringe filters to name a couple I love using :)

Got it. That makes sense. I’m still trying to get those skills down using my hands. You’re practicing surgery.

But I hear what you’re saying I have some16” tweezers I use to feed my nem. But like the other ideas.
