This. Or a cheap kiddie pool and a bunch of foam mats (for heat and support) will also work. I pick up a few at the end of ever summer season when they're often on sale. If you don't mind Spongebob and the like, your wallet won't either.

No doubt! Hopefully I'll never need that one but I'll knock on wood just in case.

Do they even make mops any more? LOL

For those slime wars that corals just randomly engage in.

Here is what is my "Just in Case" shelf and I aim for a week's worth of supply. I also am trying to QT fish/inverts and corals separately. I also write when I bought it on the container in sharpie or grease pencil.

- White Vinegar
- Baking soda
- Polyfilter
- Carbon & Bags / reactor
- Phosban
- Cupuramine and SEPARATE QT system (Go to town labelling things too)
- Prazipro (or something for internal parasites)
- Paraguard (for something for external parasites)
- Water conditioner (good for a pinch)
- Interceptor/Bayer Advanced Complete Insect Killer (Interceptor replacement for coral DIP ONLY)
- Coral RX, Revive, etc. (a secondary not Red Bugs targeted dip)
- Airstones, pump and hose - oxygenation has a huge benefit and its cheap to do.
- Kiddy pool, tarp, and foam play mats in case of tank breakage.
- Superglue (cyanoacrylate)
- Clean extra buckets
- Towels - you can never have too many extra
- Rubber gloves
- Empty eye dropper and syringes for dosing
- Extra powerbar
