OK, time to share! What kind of cool tools ,gadgets or Reef related anything did you get? My wife informed me that my reefkeeping is now too advanced for her so she didn't get me anything! LOL first time in 7 years.

I would like to make a shelf in my sump. I currently have a shelf made of pine screwed to the top rim of the sump to hold my skimmer and anything else I need. I am thinking about making a shelf inside the sump to hold the skimmer lower and possibly hold a small fuge just above or at the...

What I've read is not to let it move as it will grind on itself and create fine particles that will enter the aquarium. When I say packed, I do not mean like pressed in, I just fill completely or use the extra foam disj in the cartridge to keep it from moving. You will naturally get voids in...
