The "must-haves" for every coral keeper?
What are some of the crucial supplies that you guys think every coral keeper should always have on hand? From foods to treatments(dips) to propagation, if you've personally found it useful I'd love to hear about it. Experiences with products, benefits, how it has helped/saved you (or your coral) and anything else you'd like to share about it please do!
Brand/product names are preferred (as opposed to just a general chemical or nutrient) |
A good coral glue (any cyanoacrylate gel like Krazy Glu) and some live rock rubble means you are always ready to frag something when you need to.
A very good little flashlight allows you to check on things when the lights are out or look in any live rock holes, that's where the bad worms and crabs always are. Obviously a good test kit that you trust and, more importantly, know how to use and read. Water parameters are always where I start troubleshooting a problem. |
Nitrile disposable gloves.. What can I say, I hate touching slimy things!
|
Foreceps and long tweezers for catching or removing stubborn little things that you want out.
|
Hmmmmmm
id say Salt :P |
money....and patience:wink:
|
Yeah, money, knowledge, and patience. As soon as people hear that they're usually turned away. It's usually the same people who shouldn't be getting into the hobby to begin with, so it's something they need to hear IMO.
