Additional Equipment
We recommend adding the following products to your aquarium maintenance kit. While not essential, these tools to help make everyday aquarium maintenance less of a chore:
• A net and/or specimen container – these tools allow you to safely catch, inspect and transport livestock as necessary.
• A gravel siphon is an efficient way to remove water from the tank and remove debris from the substrate. Some models come with a short length of tubing for water removal only, while some kits come with parts that adapt the hose for refill as well.
• Algae Magnets & Scrapers are great for daily glass clean-up. Some have magnetic pieces that allow you to clean the glass without getting wet.
• Acclimation kit and bucket - for safe and proper acclimation of new fish and inverts. A dedicated, clean 5-gallon bucket serves many purposes when you maintain any aquarium.
• Aqua gloves prevent cuts and scrapes in addition to keeping arms and sleeves dry.
