I am working on setting up a display tank in a high school and am working on a very tight budget. I was able to get some corals at the SBB sale but there really isn't much left for fish. Since I have most of the other things budgeted for I would use the extra money for fish.

It's going in my savings pot for my hydros controller for my new build out.
This build is going to have AWC so I'm gonna need a controller and the hydros has really peaked my interest

I just rescued a very sick fish from our disgusting petco here. They are always selling sick and half dead fish. I've been trying to expose them for a while. I'd spend it on new supplies/foods to boost it's immune system and medications. I just had to buy a brand new tank specifically for this one and since I live in hawaii and have no access to LFS that carry these types of products, I have to order everything from individual stores and shipping gets soooo expensive But I'm determined to get this poor thing better

Been running my tank for five months without an auto top off. I'm going on a trip soon, so I'll need one!!! I also need to upgrade my return pumps. I would also like to get a halloween urchin and some gorgonians.
The one hundred dollar would only go towards the ato though, one hundred dollars hardly gets you anywhere now :(

I'd put it towards a generator... My battery back up was not enough to last for the duration we've been without power :(.
Wise choice, I went through a Hurricane in Louisiana a few weeks ago and my new generator saved my tank and fridge. Sorry you are having to deal with no power. Please stay safe.

Would like to purchase a C02 scrubber to up my pH as its always low due to the room it's in. Hovering around a 7.8 would love to get one to boost it to at least 8.1-8.2. I think it would be a game changer for my reef tank.

Just got a 25 gallon tank from 13.5 evo, still in process to transfer everything over. Would probably put the $100 towards equipment for easier maintenance or RODI system.

Between my fish and my 3 cats I spend over $100 a month on food for them. Not to mention $100 in todays economy is like $35 just 4 years ago. I just Does Not Stretch any more.

So $100 bucks, Fish Food and NORI!!!!

I would go with a light. I think I want an AI prime 16HD. I know they're kind of overpriced for the par, but I like the app, and my tank doesn't really need any more wattage than that.

I voted coral and other because I need some CUC for a new tank I'm starting and to repopulate my other ranks. Co I would use most of it on inverts, the rest on coral.

have you seen the Reefi Labs uno 2.0? Half the price of most leading with more wattage than any of them. I think the app is hands down better than AI, but I am extremely biased by being a reefi owner.
