Tools & Maintenance

Aquarium tools and maintenance supplies

The right tools make tank care quicker and safer. Our aquarium tools and maintenance supplies include algae scrapers and magnets, nets and tongs, coral glue, frag cutters, siphons and cleaning products.

A basic toolkit

Every reefer needs a glass cleaner, a long pair of tongs, a net and a siphon. Then, as you add corals, coral glue and a frag rack help you mount and arrange them. Also, gloves and safety glasses are worth having when you handle zoanthids or frag stony corals.

Common questions

What glue works for corals?

Most reefers use reef-safe cyanoacrylate gel or putty epoxy, since both hold well under water. In fact, many use both together: putty for bulk and gel for a quick grip.

How often should I clean the glass?

Most tanks need a quick scrape every few days. A magnet cleaner makes it a one-minute job, so it is easy to keep up.
