Things have been way to quiet 'round here so I'll throw out an off-the-wall question.
What is the best item you ever found for your tank or your addiction? The constraint is that it can't be something made/marketed specifically for the hobby.
Let's say 4 categories--under $1, under $10, under $100 and the sky's the limit.
I'll kick off.
Under $1, I'd say the small, all plastic clamps from Lowe's.
Right at $10, I'm going with the 9" Honeywell Turbo-Force table fan for cooling the cabinet.
Under $100, I've gotta say the FoodSaver vacuum sealer (like a Seal-a-Meal). (I bought some seriously large packages of frozen Cyclop-eeze and brine a few months ago when Rob did the group buy. I was afraid to open them because I could never use it all before it self-destructed in the freezer. Then I got this great little food storage tool...last week I took all those big blocks of food out of the freezer, broke them into 3 or 4 oz chunks, vacuum sealed them and put them back into the freezer. Now I can take out a two week week supply and keep the rest for months!)
Over $100, I guess I'd say the 110g vertical water storage tank, although that's getting pretty close to the hobby.
What's your best "find"???
