Cheap Equipment???
I was wondering what is the cheapest, most useful equipment you have ever purchased for your aquarium. Mine would have to be the $1.97 set of paint scrapers I got at Wal-Mart. You can't beat them for removing algae from the front glass.

I got 2 used CPR bak-pak protein skimmers for 10 bucks....no joke. I bought one from my boss for 10$, the other one I was supposed to pay 30 for, but ended up getting it for free. The guy said "why would I make you pay for it if I got it used for free". He had it for about 6 months sitting in an cracked empty tank. All I added was a Maxi-jet 1200 with the venturi valve to both of them. I run both on my 80 gal, and I couldn't be happier. Leddy
