Review of some of the products I use. Everything from calcium supplements to lighting and water pumps.

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. |

Maintaining Calcium and Alk in a reef tank can be a real chore. Especialy for those of us who don't have the money to spend on calcium, and kalk reactors. I had been personaly dosing kalk to my tank. I evaporate probaly about 800ml of water per day. With the addition of sps however a saturated kalk solution was not enough. I'm not wanting to experiment with vinegar because in all honestly it scares me. It sounds dangerous, and like an accident waiting to happen. |
