Pies Posted April 28, 2005 Report Share Posted April 28, 2005 Test kits (nitrite/Nitrate/Amonia/PH/KH), buckets, salinity measurement devices etc are not accessories. The are required to setup the system. Pie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chimera Posted April 28, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2005 As I said above "All are mandatory unless otherwise stated" mandatory = required accessory = a subordinate or supplementary item; an adjunct. Something added to complete a thing, make up for a deficiency, or extend or strengthen the whole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chimera Posted April 29, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2005 an accepting wife... yeah, i think we all forgot about that accessory. perhaps the most expensive part of a reef tank. goes something like "for every dollar you spend on your tank i'm spending that on clothes..." "yes dear, but dont forget we have a mortgage to pay" :lol: "whats this invoice hidden in the back of the drawer?" "oh that, it's just another set of tunze streams dear..., the $1,200 at the bottom was for a box of them, but its ok coz I only bought two..."

Control Posted April 29, 2005 Report Share Posted April 29, 2005 I would consider a storage tank or system a must depending on what I had. Aaron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fay Posted April 29, 2005 Report Share Posted April 29, 2005 Accepting Husband (glad he controls me a bit e.g. won't let me up to Hollywoods and Jansens alone, walks around behind me saying you don't need that fish to many already, no more room for coral etc) Frog: Or: I would like a new shed!!!! I said to him one day what would you do with my tanks if I die; He said sell them and go on a World Trip!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petplanet Posted April 30, 2005 Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 A baster - hardware stores sell them. Plastic tube with a rubber end. Great for blowing crap out from between rocks and turning over your sand/gravel bed. Syringes - for spot feeding corals and with needle for aptasia destruction.
