What are some essentials I should always buy?

What in the world is a finger cot haha. I have shoulder length gloves ordered so we are good!

First Aid Only Nitrile Finger Cots, 144 Piece Finger Protectors (90922)
Good for covering bandaids if you don’t want to wear full gloves.

Beer and Wine - to partake in while enjoying the tank

Well let’s flip this on it’s head and I’ll ask you what you threw out and never needed, then I know what NOT to buy!

Cheap ebay flow pumps, hang over board filters, that I have used for quarantine at one point, some different return pump adopters.... alot of stuff was something that I have upgraded on my tank and never threw away until today.

Just incase if it was mentioned or not, but get a dedicated quarantine system all by it self, (.ake sure nothing can be used as both display tank and quarantine tank. I have found it very useful at the time when I started.
