Turkey Baster

[Boga]

Considering the ratio usage/price, I bet that a turkey baster can be top of the list so easy. What else can you buy with a buck and use it daily?

Short brain storming for everyone. Cheap tools/utensils for saltwater hobby. I hope that many of us can learn from this.

My tanks 30" deep, can't reach bottom with my hands, so I have a huge pair of tweezers..
And with my frag tanks, always grabbing stuff with them

My glass measuring cup comes in handy.  As do plastic syringes, single razer blades and dollar store super glue.

Old credit/debit cards/gift cards make fantastic algae scrapers.

Awesome!

I will consider a pair of tweezers. I saw Poseidon in action at Fragfest and they looked easy and useful. I guess that this is the modern type of Poseidon's fork (Trident).

I think that Forest City Surplus in London has a bunch of utensils, stainless steel, medical grade. Some of them are cheap.

Here are more:
Tooth brush. Free from my dentist. Very usefull for cleaning power heads and rocks.
Plastic brush from Dollar Store.
Wood skewer for cleaning inside tubing.
