Another thread just reminded me: if you want to watch your tank at night, buy a cheap flashlight and colour the lens red. A cheap way to do this is with red "glass paint" (sold in the craft section at Walmart where the plastic suncatchers are. A cheaper way is to use a red Sharpie marker.

While you're in the craft section at Walmart, be sure to pick up some cheap seashells - boil them for new hermit crab shells.

Grab some plastic canvas, too. It's good for making boxes to protect corals while they're eating, so that scavengers such as shrimp and crabs don't steal their food.
