There is always something! Personally, I'd like to upgrade my lights. I have two Rapid LED Onyx LED fixtures over my 90. Not terrible but I would like to get rid the shadows and get the light from each LED a little better distributed. Always liked T5's but hated bulb replacement expense. Maybe I'll add a couple DIY T5s and change optics in the LEDs.

Probably remove all my sand. I have one BB tank and another with sand. Man the BB tank is so easy to clean up.

I was able to tie in the voltage of the fish feeder into a programmable 4 head dosing pump and the only issue I'm having is the slot where the food comes out gets clogged up every 6 hours so I need to buy a better, different fish feeder very soon that's the only issue I'm having with my Reef aquarium this time.

I would love to add a T5 hybrid to go with my Hydra 26's on both tanks. Would be a spendy proposition right now. Other than that I'm pretty happy with things. I like the new Giessmann solution. It has a nice looking mount.

Maybe a larger cal rx, still not totally sure I need it. Also mainly for my tank to grow more beautiful acros! That’s right. It’s my tank’s fault. Nothing to do with my skill at growing beautiful acros! lol.

I would like to upgrade the size of my tank, even though I just did from 125 to 180. Always wanted an 8 foot 300g+ tank. I do not see any way to do it for less than 10k, can't justify the purchase, right now. Also want a chiller, so I can put coral tanks in my garage. This great hobby costs money.

Bigger sump looking at MRC, additonal 360x, apex for monitoring only(trident specifically), redo my plumbing to a herbie and maybe incoorporate apex flow sensors on my pipes,plumb in a frag tank.

If trident isn’t out by May I’m abandoning all hope that it will ever come out lol. I’m tired of being let down, it really isn’t fun.

I would love to change my drain from Durso/Gurgle buster to at least Herbie. I think that’s the biggest mistake I’ve made so far.

You all think too small... I want to own a house so I don't have to configure things in a way that is easy to move. Then I want to design the basement with floor drains, a filtration room, and room to plumb in a massive frag tank too the main system. Then get a tank that is 16ft long, not sure on the other dimensions yet. Just have a few hundred K to go till I get there.
