    Support couple of mine

    miniature plastic clamps from hardware store, use to hold hoses during water changes, bags for acclimating, and all sorts when i need a extra hand.

    those nylon stocking things at the shoe store for trying on shoes ween you forget socks. There great for rinsing media, temporary media basket in tank, or any where i need a fine mesh.

    Tupperware ware tub, with holes poked in it with a soldering iron for flow. good for holding small items in tank like for fraging mushrooms or similar which wont glue down and need time to attach to rubble. (and if too much flow can use one of those stocking things on top)
