Post your build thread!! This could help your Secret Santa with gift ideas!!

Santa Claus · Nov 22, 2022

Ho! Ho! Ho! While we're still working on getting everything set for our name draw, I want to remind all of you that checking out your gift recipient's build thread is a great way to get ideas for them! It helps to know more about their reef, but also about who they are as a person. So, I got to thinking that once names are drawn, it might help if we had a thread where people had shared links to their build threads!

So, do us a favor! Help your Secret Santa out and post up a link to your build thread! If you don't have one yet, today is a great day to start one! Here are our member tank forums where you could post yours! CLICK HERE!

Large Build - my 180g tank build when returning to saltwater hobby

Like many of you, I started with a dream. Previously I had 5 saltwater tanks but when life happened sold tanks and fish. Memories of those tanks as well as any scuba or snorkeling would fan dream of returning to saltwater tank hobby. Those original fish only tanks were decorated with dead/dry...

AIO Build - My Innovative Marine SR60 upgrade

It’s been quite a year.Last October I started a small saltwater project with a Biocube 16 LED. A few months later I wanted more room so I went with an IM 30l Nuvo Pro. I loved the tank but realized I needed more room as my coral buying got a little out of hand. Here’s my last tank (and probably...

Okay, another build thread. My 4th but only 2nd live tank! My main tank is a rs 3xl900 (240g system-220 or so total water volume). So why a separate build thread? Accountability lol's. It's a super neglected tank and I need to get it back to being a healthy tank. Tank History: RS E-170 AIO...

My main tank is torn down so my build thread isn’t really all that helpful other than to see what artificial corals I have. I do hope to have it up and running again this year if we can get our house built.

I have a little 5 gallon reef running on solar power. I’m in a camper. Whatever my Secret Santa sends will need to be stored for future use. I don’t want or need much.

I’m mostly participating because it’s fun to send things that bring happiness. I’ve sent special non-reef related goodies along with my packages every year and find wish lists are indeed helpful for getting to know people. I’m kind of disappointed that the questions didn’t include favorite snack or color because I’ve used the heck out of that information in the past.
