Splurge! If you were given $1,000 to spend on reef equipment, what item(s) would you put it toward?

[vetteguy53081]

Sorry to hear that . Mold is the worst

Thats what contractor said and there is apparently a material shortage with roofing and flooring. He said a separate company will have to go in a nd treat/ventilate before they can start work which I am on a waiting list but I should be getting close to the top and awaiting a phone call. I will be down for a week or so when I get the call.

Lights and controller

 

[Tamberav]

Two reefi lights, filter roller… captive regal angel… ****!! Over budget already… that’s reefing for ya…

 

[KonradTO]

Alk tester or a very reliable doser. But with that amount I could get both

I would buy digital testers for salinity phosphate and whatever else is available. Am fed up of deciphering colours with test kits and losing sleep wondering whether both refractometers give false readings.

 

[Poseidon03]

I'd expand my apex and probably get a few choice across with the extra.

 

[NanoJHB]

Definitely a new tank!

I bought my budget 10g nano for the equivalent of $30 2 years ago. It's still going strong but I'd love a new tank without all the scratches and marks this one has

filter roller mat, hands down the best thing happened in last 5 year, in my view more impactful than alk tester

I wish all the best of luck and hope your all fixed up soon

Decked out controller.

 

[clownfishlord18]

I would get a frag tank to start my business.

 

[Sink_or_Swim]

Other - because I would rather spend it on coral, fish, and fish food, lol.

 

[Chanman1965]

UV sterilizer and frag tank.

 

[BillyW]

I’d get the bigger ATO Reservoir and UV that have been in my BRS cart for the last month. The $200+ shipping charges is holding me back, hard to justify.

 

[Nate Chalk]

Another tank set up. Plumbing light etc for a display refugium

Splurge! If you were given $1,000 to spend on reef equipment, what item(s) would you put it toward?

The holidays are over and we’ll have to wait until next year for more presents, but what if we could still dream a little longer…what if you could spend $1,000 on reefing equipment? What item(s) would you put the money toward? Would it be a controller, lights, pumps, reactor, skimmer, testing machine, or something else? Let’s dream a little and discuss what a $1,000 splurge would be – please join us in the discussion thread!

BTW, while we aren’t currently giving away $1,000, R2R is hosting a giveaway for a Deltec Skimmer so please following this link to enter! Good luck!!!

A beer fridge full of beer and of course snacks (for the fish)

 

[fishface NJ]

That money would go to a 110 g tank

 

[Gman83]

I’d either put it towards lights, or upgrading my tank.

 

[italquam]

I would use it for a new Acrylic aquarium from Midwest Custom Aquariums

 

[joseph scott]

New aquarium!
