Maybe we can start a list of products or equipment that are on the market for the hobbyist, but are just not usually needed.
Feel free to discuss any item listed.
One item per person per day, here. Give everyone a chance to participate!
My contribution:
Phytoplankton - it's probably not needed by the average hobbyist. Unless you've got a really young clam, then pouring phytoplankton into the reef tank may be a waste of time and money. Worse yet, it may contribute to a nutrient problem.
Most corals don't eat phytoplankton, no matter what the bottle says.
