Some of the obvious "bests" have already been mentioned.

For me, the LiterMeter III paristaltic pumps which are used on my continuous water change, have really added value to my time spent with my tank. Less work for me = good

Yup, gotta agree on that. Also, the single best thing I ever did was plumb my top -off to my water supply. Not manually filling jugs (like I've done for 10 years) is the single best thing ever!

I guess I also have to add the HRV we had installed. Before the HRV, the humidity was wrecking our house and my wife was really not happy. After the HRV, humidity is a none issue.

+1 on the HRV,...Now my wife says it's to dry in the house.

I just finished plumbing my auto top-off in yesterday so I haven’t reaped the benefits from it yet. I'm sure it will be on my list in a few short days.

My bubbleking skimmer is hands down the best purchase. Not once in the last 3 yrs have I wanted to throw it off the deck....and that's saying something, I frustrate easily apparently

Yup I have been running my top off off my RO/DI line since 2002 and love it. regular checking of the float switch is the key.
