10 Useful Aquarium Products 10 useful aquarium products you may not know existed" align="right"/><br/> <i>You May Not Know Existed</i> </span><br/> </div> <br/> <b>Waterproof Gloves</b><br/> All aquarists need to reach inside their aquarium for cleaning and maintenance. Sometimes, reaching into an aquarium results in an injury. Dangers include venomous fish, poisonous corals, spiny fish or sea urchins, sharp rocks, and aggressive biting fish. The <a href="https://www.marineandreef.com/Aqua_Gloves_Coralife_p/res09505.htm">Coralife Aqua Gloves</a> are aquarium safe waterproof gloves that are 28 inches long. These gloves will keep your hands protected and dry when working in your aquarium. <br/><br/> On the flip side, you may have contaminants on your hands and arms that are problematic for your aquarium inhabitants. The Aqua Gloves will prevent the transfer of the contaminants into the aquarium. <br/><br/> <b>Buffing Supplies</b><br/> If you have an aquarium you will scratch the tank’s viewing panes. If you have an acrylic tank these scratches can be buffed out and repaired. Lifegard Aquatics makes a <a href="https://www.marineandreef.com/category_s/1336.htm?Search=lifegard+scratch+kit&Submit=Search">Scratch Removal Kits</a> that uses progressively finer abrasive sheets to buff out scratches. <br/><br/> <b>Calibration Solution</b><br/> Have you ever tested your aquarium and gotten results that were way off? Calibration solutions help to insure that your testing is accurate. <a href="https://www.marineandreef.com/Two_Little_Fishies_AccuraSea_250_ml_p/rtl50700.htm">Two Little Fishies AccuraSea</a> is a hydrometer and refractometer calibration solution that will ensure your salinity is being measured correctly. The <a href="https://www.marineandreef.com/Milwaukee_Instruments_Replacement_Calibration_Solutions_s/67.htm">Milwaukee Instruments Calibration Solutions</a> can be used to calibrate your pH or ORP tester or meter. <br/><br/> <b>Grabbers</b><br/> In deep aquariums it can be very difficult to reach the bottom of the aquarium for maintenance. If a rock or decoration needs to be moved or a coral falls off the rockwork then you may not be able to reach to the bottom with your hands. The Coralife AquaTongs come in 3 lengths and allow you to reach the deepest parts of your aquarium. The tongs are water and rust resistant, unlike many grabbers used for other purposes. <br/><br/> <b>Magnetic Clips</b><br/> If you have had an aquarium for any extended period of time you know that suction cups will eventually fail. An upgrade to suction cups is magnet mounts. You can swap the Zoo Med Mag Clip Magnetic Suction Cups for the suction cups on most heaters, canister filter returns, and airline tubing. <br/><br/> <b>Feeding Rings</b><br/> A common problem when feeding your fish is that the food goes everywhere and much doesn’t get eaten and simply rots away. The <a href="https://www.marineandreef.com/Two_Little_Fishies_MagFeeder_p/rtl50724.htm">Two Little Fishies MagFeeder</a> uses a ring at the water’s surface to contain floating fish foods so that less food is wasted. <br/><br/> <b>Aquarium Safe Glass Cleaner</b><br/> The outside aquarium glass gets dirty with smudges, finger prints and drip streaks. You can clean the glass with regular glass cleaner, but you risk the chemicals getting into the tank and poisoning your animals. Even organic glass cleaners contain ammonia, which can be extremely toxic to fish. <a href="https://www.marineandreef.com/Kent_Marine_Acrylic_Glass_Cleaner_Polisher_8oz_p/rkm00944.htm">Kent Marine Acrylic/Glass Cleaner-Polisher</a> is safe to use around tanks and makes your glass sparkle. <br/><br/> <b>Grounding Probes and GFCI</b><br/> Aquarists invest a lot in the lives of their fish, but they also need to invest in their own lives. Using a GFCI outlet with a grounding probe will help reduce your chance of electrocuting yourself. The grounding probe senses free current in your aquarium and shuts off the power if it is detected. The GFCI outlet will detect when current is leaking out of the circuit. This will occur when current “leaks” into your body and automatically turns the power off. You can use a <a href="https://www.marineandreef.com/Shock_Shield_GFCI_Plug_Adapter_p/rsw90033.htm">Shock Shield GFCI Plug Adapter</a> to add these protections. <br/><br/> <b>Heater Module</b><br/> If you have an aquarium you most likely use a heater. Heaters in the aquarium are ugly and can even burn some delicate fish and invertebrates. The Lifegard Aquatics Heater Modules will accept most heaters and allow you to use them in line where the heater is away from your animals and water flow constantly moves past the heater to ensure effective heating. <br/><br/> <b>Surface Skimmers</b><br/> In many aquariums an unattractive oily film collects at the surface. Even with strong filtration this film stays at the surface and never flows into the filter. A surface skimmer is a device designed to suck this oily waste off the water’s surface so the filter can remove it. You can use stand alone skimmers like the <a href="https://www.marineandreef.com/AquaTop_SSK_65_Aquarium_Surface_Skimmer_p/rat01654.htm">AquaTop SSK-65 Aquarium Surface Skimmer</a> or skimmers that attach on to your existing filter, such as the <a href="https://www.marineandreef.com/ista_Multi_Surface_Skimmer_p/rit83522.htm">ista Multi-Surface Skimmer</a>. </div><!-- .vcb-article --> <textarea style="display:none;" id="articleBody_344" readonly="true"></textarea> </td> </tr> </table> </div> <!-- #content_area --> </section> </div> <!-- .row --> </div> <!-- .container --> <article class="footer-extra-top"> <div class="container"> <div class="row"> <div class="title col-xs-12"> <h3>Please contact us with any questions you have.</h3> </div> <div class="contact col-xs-12 col-md-4"> <svg class="icon"><use xlink:href="#svg-Email"/></svg> <div class="contact__wrapper"> <a href="mailto:sales@marineandreef.com?Subject=Contact%20Us"><p>sales@marineandreef.com</p></a><br>We answer all Emails through 3 PM the same day (M-F). </div> </div> <div class="number col-xs-12 col-md-4"> <svg class="icon"><use xlink:href="#svg-Phone2"/></svg> <div class="number__wrapper"> <a href="/help_answer.asp?ID=17#46"><p class="number__free">480-491-5283</p></a> <!--<a href="/help_answer.asp?ID=17#46"><p class="number__international">International 1-480-491-5283</p></a>--> </div> </div> <div class="hours col-xs-12 col-md-4"> <svg class="icon"><use xlink:href="#svg-Clock"/></svg> <div class="hours__wrapper"> <p class="hours_time">Monday-Friday 9:00 am to 11:00 am & 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm MT.
