Powerheads are an ideal way to add a little bit of flow to your tank, or to get some flow in a corner of a tank where water currently isn't reaching. A reliable powerhead thats quiet, and easy to maintain is important though. Because these guys get barried behind rocks, are a pain to clean, and the last thing anyone needs is extra heat and noise. I've tried a bunch on the market, and this is what I think of these powerheads. |

The Kent Pro Glass Scraper is one of my favorite tools. I use it to clean the glass on my tank and it's actually a lot easier than I thought it would be. |

A quality heater is not something you want to skip on. I recommend fully submersible heaters as you have more options of where to place them. A malfunctioning heater can kill your entire tank, and their are many reports of heaters that break inexplicabaly. |

Everyone needs an automatic aquarium fish feeder. This is a great device for those of you who want to save time or maybe have fish that need constant feeding.
For me it was a little bit of both. I have a group of Anthias in my tank and as you may know Anthias like to be fed small amounts of food through out the day. To keep these active reef inhabitants well fed an Automatic Fish Feeder was absolutely necessary. |

Like many people I was not satisfied with the 10x turnover that people often recommend for reef newbies. I could feel that my SPS were starving for extra flow. I was constantly shopping around for a return pump. I was going to have to add an external overflow box as my nano wasn't drilled, a return pump, a SCWD wave device and all the plumbing for it. It was not only going to be a daunting task, but an expensive one. Being short on money, I was hoping for a way out. |

I'm the type of person that likes to tinker. I thought I could build a pretty decent protein skimmer for my primarly SPS (small polyp stoney) reef aquarium for a decent price. Now theres some pretty good skimmers on the market. For example Euro-Reef and the new needle wheel knock offs, AquaC Skimmers, and other designs but if your reading this, it's probaly because you've seen the cost of these pieces of acrylic! |
