| 11. Plastic Utility Bucket |
| These buckets have many uses around aquariums. You can move fish in them from one aquarium to another. You might use this bucket to move water to and from a small aquarium, but for a larger aquarium you should have a Python No Spill, as shown above. A utility bucket is nice to use to scrub items from an aquarium. Just put a few inches of water from the aquarium into the bucket, then remove a dirty item from the aquarium, scrub it in the bucket without using soap or any other cleaners, then return the item to the aquarium. A bucket like this is a good place to store you scrubbing pad, siphon, and other aquarium maintenance items. Do not use the bucket for anything else like scrubbing your floor or your car. It's a good idea to mark the bucket with a black marker pen, "AQUARIUM ONLY!!". These buckets are sold in home improvement centers and lots of other places. Every aquarist should have one. |
|
 |
| 12. Bottle Brush |
| Use this brush to clean the inside of the tube that carries the water to the filter. This tube must be scrubbed out once in a while as part of your regular aquarium maintenance. Brushes for use in kitchens, around food, and for scrubbing a baby bottle are available from many mass merchandisers, and you should own one that you only use in your aquarium. Store it inside your utility bucket. |
|
 |
| 13. Kordon Amquel |
| This very advanced water conditioner removes ammonia, chlorine, and chloramine from tap water to make it safe for fish. This item is highly recommended. Click here to learn more. Click here to buy Amquel. |
|
 |
| 14. Dirt Magnet Sponge Filters |
| These filters are very good with small fish that might get sucked into a filter with a pump like the BIO-Wheel Filters, shown far above. We use sponge filters in aquariums with baby fish. Click here to buy a Dirt Magnet Sponge Filter. |
|
 |
| |
| 15. Pocket Size TDS Meter |
| TDS means Total Dissolved Solids. This small pocket size TDS meter reads the amount of solids dissolved in the water, and gives a good idea of how much mineral matter is dissolved in your aquarium water, which is not too important if you want to keep fish, but can be very important if you want to breed fish. Click here to buy this TDS meter now. |
|
 |
| 16. Net Breeder |
| You assemble the 12 stiff plastic edges, then put the netting over the four sides and the bottom. Making a box shaped container that goes inside your aquarium and attaches to the rim of your aquarium. You can put fish that need to be isolated in this contraption. Click here to buy. |
|
 |
| 17. Aquarium Salt |
| This is Aquarium Salt for freshwater aquariums. It is not suitable for a saltwater aquarium, which require marine salts that contain a wide variety of salts. Aquarium Salt contains almost all sodium chloride. Do not use table salt, which may contain iodine and other additives. Click here to buy Aquarium Salt. |

| 19. Magnifying Glass |
| It's amazing how much more you can see with a magnifying glass, and when you can see more, it will make your fish all the more fun to watch! See more details of your fish. Watch tiny baby fish eat. A magnifying glass can also help you to see and recognize a disease like ich. Highly recommended. Click here to buy a Magnifying Glass. |
|
 |
| 20. Aquarium Water Test Strips |
| You can learn a lot about the quality of the water in your aquarium by using your nose, eyes, and finger tips!! Click here to read more about that. But you probably can't determine the level of nitrate with a test kit. We have used the Jungle Quick Dip, and checked its accuracy with a very high quality test kit. These strips are pretty good and accurate enough for most of what we want to know. They give results for several water parameters. They are very convenient to use and give the test results in a minute or two. We recommend this product. Click

here to buy Jungle Quick Dip test strips. |

 |
| 21. HydroCarbon 2 |
| Hydrocarbon 2 is a granular activated carbon designed specifically for the purification of aquarium water. It has an extremely porous texture which makes it ideal for both fresh and saltwater aquariums and does not leach phosphates into the water, which can cause outbreaks of algae. This activated carbon absorbs both large and small molecular pollutants such as the defense substances released into the water by both soft and stony corals and will also pull out the water-yellowing tannic and humic compounds. After months of use it also becomes a very active biological filtration community full of beneficial bacteria and microorganisms. It can thus be used as a biological nitrification and denitrification media, or to seed new aquariums with active bacteria cultures. Click here to buy now. |

Summary
You may have noticed that several of these items are very inexpensive and widely available. You may also notice that many of the most expensive kinds of aquarium equipment are missing from this list.
We recommend the biggest acrylic aquarium you can afford or several aquariums, which will make your aquarium hobby even more enjoyable. Next we recommend a professionally built aquarium stand that fits your aquarium.
We strongly recommend a filter with a BIO-Wheel Filter for almost all aquariums, because Bio-Wheel filters are very effective and very inexpensive to buy and to run.
We also like equipment, like the Python, the Magnetic Scrubber, a Bottle Brush, and a Utility Bucket that make cleaning and changing water much easier, so all of us will do it more often! |
