I actually have a pair of the long plastic tongs they sell at the LFS, not good for heavy stuff but good to get to the bottom of the tank. a box of nitirle gloves ( the blue ones with the textured grip) a sloted and philips screw drive, teflon tape, various house clamps , air line tubing, two sets of hemostats( great for a quick clamp if needed) and always a towel of two!
Doug why J.B. weld?

Toolbox? MAN...why didn't *I* think of that?
my g/f's been *itching about all my cluttered stuff on the bar/cabinets/floor near the tank. hmmm. hahah
I need to get some of other people's items. All I have is Superglue gel, Holdfast epoxy, tweezers (to pick unwanted things off my corals), tubing, various algae scrappers, various spot-feeding apparatus (2-liter bottles cut in half, etc), and a bunch of plugs to set the times on my Outlet timers.
oh...and a Flashlight. Common people!

Thanks Tims, i'll be watching this thread. I have a tool drawer (hope it still counts) next to the tanks. i keep misc plumming fittings, a few gaskets, superglue gel, epoxy, marine grade silicone (drys faster for emergencies), extra sponges/filterpads, 16" hemostats, bone clippers (coming soon) for clean fragging, channel locks, vise grips, wire cutters, different lengths of tubing (3 sizes), PVC cutters. and i still feel like i'm missing some stuff so fill me in...
