Things for reef tanks but we use for other things!

[John Bolden]

What things that are used for reef tanks do you use to make life easier or just to have fun?
I personally use an old ATO on my Christmas tree to top off the water so I don't have to worry about it.

My family asks for reef glue all the time. My mom asks to borrow it to glue the sequence back onto her bedazzled shoes.

No that's not a fish tank that is just a really expensive lamp that I spend all my time on...

For me it's the other way around. I really can't think of any reefing equipment I repurpose for other uses. Now the list of non reefing equipment that gets repurposed as reefing equipment is endless.

Not the best to drink as it’s been stripped of all minerals .

I use flake food to feed my kids. First time I let my 3 year old “feed the fish”, she dropped the pinch of flake into the tank and then licked her fingers. Said it tasted pretty good…

Our new house is on hard water and already has RO setup whole house, would also be an easy mod
