What is your best/favorite piece of equipment you have purchased for your reef and why?


For me I think it is the Tunze Osmolator. I purchased it 6 years ago...does it's job perfectly and has had very few issues...the one's its had (pump replacement, and plastic clip on the emergency float switch) were easily replaced.

seasquirt feeder. super easy to use, extendable, feeder point at the end for large things like krill/silversides/squid for lionfish and such. is measured on the side so you know how much your adding. best feeder ever!

For me it was my aquaticlife 48" 4bulb t5 fixture. Ive had it a year, and love it. One cord, built in timer, doesnt get any easier than that.

Well here is my list since I can't come up with just ONE
1. Tunze osmolator (auto top off/ ease of use and quality of product. Double sensor is very nice
2.MP40wES upgrade/ It is just super bada$$. My clowns are now dancing
3.Bubble King skimmer (mini 160)/ Steady , no issues, red dragon pump ,easy to dial in, quality product.
4.Milwaukee refractometer ATC / must have for any reefer
5. Reefkeeper lite level 3 / Set it and forget it
6. Inland band saw purchased from www.reefsolutions4u.com , a sponsor here on CR. It makes fragging a breeze.

Bar none its my ATB medium cone skimmer. I bought it used from Stunreefer and it works perfect, I would say the same for the ATB flowstar return pump . MP40/10 pumps are my second place pick and perhaps the RKL a distant third place.
