What is the best equipment purchase you have ever made?

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.


My DELTEC AP 702 Skimmer.

Easyblade - with my big tank, saves me hours of work.
Ozonizer - if I had started with it I would have save hundreds in UV and QT equipment. Plus crystal clear water!
ATO system - plain old float valve.

+1 that thing is awesome!

RD pump and BK skimmer purely for the low noise level. It's nice to have your tank and equipment in your living room without it making a single detectable sound.

BubbleKing Mini 180. Awesome skimmer but had to get on the cone skimmer phase. Sold the BK and got a Vertex Alpha Cone 250. Even better skimmer. And even though I did have some problems with 1 of my MP40's they are on my list just for the effect they have had on my tank.
