Gift giving and aquariums: Do you have aquarium items on your Christmas list?

As we come into the holiday season, many of us have started making our wish list of possible presents. While some share their Christmas lists widely so everyone know what items would be welcomed, others are far more guarded with their list. Of course, there are a few that may not participate and others that buy their own gifts (I mean, it certainly helps with getting the right size, color, and giga-whatevers, right?!?!). For most reef keepers, you probably have at least a few aquarium items on your list. Let us know if that is a reasonable assumption. Do you have aquarium items on your Christmas list? Feel free to share what those items are. Just because you may be getting coal in your stocking, doesn’t mean you won’t still be getting presents under the tree!

Anymore I just buy what I need when I need it. I usually work overtime and save up as required. I don’t ask for or accept expensive things. However I do value a thoughtful card, a nice gesture, and good company over someone else paying for my lifestyle.

 

[Dbichler]

No I buy what I need when I need it. Nobody in my family understands the hobby at all anyways.

 

[flashsmith]

Absolutely not. It's my burden and mine alone. It's like a dirty little secret with me what I spend on this hobby.

 

[Azael]

Yes, my Christmas list is mostly aquarium related. Naso Tang, Copperband, a few corals and blood fire shrimp.

I bought a box of salt on sale and put it under the Christmas tree.

My whole B-D and Christmas list is transfer from 100gT to 125 GL on other side of living room. Thinking aquascape in mind and getting 4week Guaranteed fish from Dr Reef introduced before Blue, Sailfin and Yellow tangs seek out there new territories. So Far Santa’s reaching deep, delay for new well pump, water leak under foundation and new roof! But so far I’m moving forward!!!
Even seeding dry rock and sand for quicker cycle. Might order Tampa Bay LR pieces for refugium, maybe!
