I actually pre-ordered and had to wait on mine. What garbage. It was great for releasing microbubbles back into the tank though.

Seaclown skimmer.

A premium membership to another reef forum. An emperor filter. Cycle bio trash.... too many to list.

Emperors are great for fresh water... but i see why you wouldn't like it for a reef tank.

Love my remora...but HATE MY NANO FISSION SKIMMER.

[chewie]

Sand

My Solar 1000. I took my VHO's out a few short months after I bought it.

ich attack...

[Ryanqk]

Yeah "%100 percent organic reef safe ich attach" which is a 100 % waste of money and time.
The "skilter filter" which i simply use to run carbon and chemical filtration/media now instead of its built in skimmer which is useless!
Hydor-flow rotating water deflectors, i gave them to a friend, they are too large, reduce water flow and supply only minimal surge/random water movement.

seaclone skimmer way back in the day!

[sabbath]

Wave maker. I like to run pumps all the time. The more the better I think.

[vanmo92]

Moonlights, because they are too bright and keep me awake, so I just have to turn them off.

And a lees protein skimmer, because it did nothing.

[kreef]

eco aqualiser probably tops the list.

[sirreal63]

Anything made by Aquarium Pharmiceuticals. Their test kits are by far the most consistently inconsistent test kits I have ever used.

[FishAreFriends2]

ditto on the ich attack and a bucket of brick solid salt. the joy so using a hammer to break the salt.

[allstar.h2o]

I bought a Rio 2100 for $99.99 from a LFS years back. I clearly remember that day, the LFS owner Emily ringing me up at the register with a big smile saying how great of a pump it was.

[bues0022]

If so many people have some really crappy seaclones just laying around....I wouldn't mind taking them off your hands for a DIY project I'm working on. PM me if you just want it gone.

[Orca33]

I WOULD HAVE TO SAY THE POWER SWEEP BY ZOOMED IS ONE REAL PEICE.

AND FOR ME THE MAGNUM 350 PRO CANISTER FILTER KINDA BLOWS B****

I bought the solar 750 for an ungodly price and my wife said, "that much money and all it does is dim the lights!" I realized it is a luxury that wouldn't pay for itself in a hundred years despite what they say it does for corals.

[cherubfish pair]

A canister filter.

Seaclone,

Dont know why others mock the mag float and moonlights. I think its pretty cool being able to see the tank at night + they serve as a nightlight. You can attach a razor blade to the magfloat and they work like a charm~
