Your Cleaning Kit

[shrimply]

What does your cleaning kit consist of and is there anything unusual in it. Looking for lots of good ideas.

I have

• 1 nail brush
• 3 buckets
• 2 jugs- 2 litre and 1 litre
• 1 Gravel cleaner
• 3 sython tubes of varying sizes
• A2 sheet of white paper-brilliant for showing up the algea on the back of the tank you never see till you are finished
• 1 toothbrush-excellent for seams and live/fake plants
• Algea scrubbers- sponge, rough and razerblade
• Towels, old nappies,tea towels-as many as I can find.

I did cross my mind but I didn't think it was very likely. I always start with one in but there is always a point where you are lifting out something and knock the heater. Then you need to get the second hand in to catch it before it smashes.
