A good pair of tweezers. I can't even recall how many uses I've come up with for both ends - I use the flat end like an apothecary tool for Ca when I'm dusting springtails (yes, I do that). Besides using the grasping end for pinning things, it can be used to poke holes and so on... A great little terrarium keeping tool. It's hard to say when you'll need something close by to grab or scrape something small. I got mine here: Jewelers Tweezers - Kingsley North, not local though. I have the Grobet USA Slide Locking Tweezers. This place has all sorts of nifty small items, like clamps, loupes, and torches. Oh yeah, in the same vein - scissors, a must have. Ah, Pliers too! Too many items that make life easier to list. Already thought of another, the handy Dremel Tool.

Think that would work good with a solenoid etc for a DIY automatic misting system?

edit: oops just saw the price, a pump would be cheaper

Black contact paper - nice and clean looking.

Aqualifter dosing pump. I use one to drain excess water from the tanks (great if you don't want to drill for a drain). Just set it on top and drop one end into a pond or other spot to access water and drop the other end into a bucket. It's fairly quick and very easy to use.

Funny, last week as I was neurotically spraying the back of my new viv matte black one of my friends asked why don't you just use black contact paper?

I have some of these shelves myself.They are much better than the bakers racks to me. I got them when a few of the retailers shut down. Do you work in a retail environment? Just curious.
