Mine is my hydor external heater ... I love it.

But I would love to know what everyone elses is ... I guess this is like a recommendation so we know what is worthy of the King of the Aquarium tanks.

1. Digital pH tester
2. Digital thermo
3. Multi tools ( to pick plants/dead fish so you dont have to put your hand into the tank and get wet )

Not exactly a 'piece of equipment' but I have an old ceramic aquarium ornament bought in Singapore in 1963 which looks sort of like two peaks of rock with a green thing stretching from one peak to the other.

It's currently adorning a betta tank. Everyone thinks it's dead naff, but I wouldn't part with it.

Hello all,

In relation to the PH tester's how much are they as I have a Dupla PH controller on my planted tank and it would be interesting to see how acurate the PH probe is.

I really don't think that I need one but you never know and it is another gadget to annoy my girlfriend with.

Dave, just buy some calbration solution, either in 4.2, 7 or 9, or all 3.

You should test the probe every few months anyway.

Mine would have to be my algae magnet thing, you know those things for cleaning the tank on the inside.
Its no much but its fun using it. :wink:
