Protect yourself from hazardous electrical shock or electrocution with a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI).  Anyone with a fish or reef tank should have one…could save your life.

These grounding probes come with a non-corrosive titanium rod attached to a 10ft stainless wire lead, a three prong grounded plug, with an additional grounding eyelet. These probes also utilize an insulated transition joint, insuring against corrosion protection, and leaching of metals into the aquarium.

Refractometer

Test concentration of salt in several aquariums with this portable, economical, and lightweight refractometer. Featuring the same accuracy as more expensive models, this optical device provides a direct reading of specific gravity and salinity in water. Requires no batteries and automatically compensates for temperature.

Temperature Correction: Automatic from 50-86°F (10-30°C)
Reading: Dual scale, 0-100 ppt salinity and 1.000-1.070 specific gravity
Weight: 10 oz.
Bottom line is that you should get one of these immediately…consider it as vital as the tank itself. Hydrometers are notoriously innacurrate and you’ll end up getting a refractometer anyway so don’t even look at those cheaper, plastic hydrometers.

A MUST & highly recommended

Stealth Heater

Sleek, inconspicuous aquarium heater design incorporates accurate, shatterproof performance. Reinforced plastic casing protects the components against thermal and mechanical shock to eliminate shattering. Shuts off automatically when out of water; restarts automatically when in water. Fully submersible. Temperature select dial and aluminum cylinder distribute core heat evenly and efficiently with ±1.0°F accuracy. Easy to set and install. UL-Listed.

Most experienced reefers will tell you that there’s almost no such things as an aquarium heater that isn’t inefficient at best and utter crap at worst. I’ve always relied on the stealth and never had a problem. Most importantly they aren’t made of metal so there’s no risk of it shattering into thousands of tiny shards the you’ll NEVER get out of your tank.
