What “reef stuff” are you getting for Christmas this year?

[Glenner’sreef]

1. You’ve been a very good reefer this year, but you need a few things for this fantastic hobby!!! What are you getting???

 

[OrchidMiss]

I bought myself WAY too many new corals.....

 

[ZoWhat]

I only have $200.... so probably a single polyp green zoa

 

[Guttersnipe]

Got myself a brand new giesemann Spectra and an orphek led bar to go with it.

Christmas is about family not myself.

Christmas is about myself not family (sorry, I couldn’t resist, one of the many benefits of not having kids, though I do try to buy nice gifts for my family). As far as reef related purchases, just some corals and a few fish (black friday), and some new test kits (finally upgrading the last few to Hanna).

Now, if anyone knows where I can buy a PS5 (for my brother, I lucked out an got mine when they came out)….

 

[G Santana]

I'm all in on this puppy

 

[GHOSTLY]

I've saved enough to get an ato, auto dose, sump, and a gold torch

 

[kdx7214]

Nothing. Spent what little budget we had on sand and salt on black friday

 

[Gtinnel]

I bought a used Neptune LSM and a new Hanna Copper checker within the last few days, but they're not for Christmas so I don't know if they count.
My wife and I don't buy for each other at Christmas, it's strictly for the kids. Plus once you get to the point as an adult where you just buy things when you want them what is the point of exchanging gifts.

I tried dropping hints to the wife for a hydros x2, but I doubt she got it lol. I usually get cooking appliances (I'm the chef at home), last year was an air fryer that I used 4 times. Unfortunately I am the only one in my family that cares about my tank, so I have to be my own santa (not that gifts matter anyways right, I rather buy my own stuff anyway)

 

[BanjoBandito]

Bought myself a fungia plate.

 

[tigre44]

Gift cards to my local store I get to pick what I want

 

[OrchidMiss]

Coal. I spent too much money on coral this year.
At least coal would technically work as carbon.... so, I'll take it!

 

[reefer168]

Bought a gold coin to hedge the high inflation

I got my xmas prez in Oct. A RS Reefer 3xl900. Saved the last 6 mo before for the new tank and all new RS equipment (and mp40's) and Apex . Did it right, no skimping and enjoying the payoff. Previous tanks were cheap amazon buys. I'll get some more corals for xmas and maybe a fish or 2

 

[HB AL]

I started buying my Xmas presents back in July with my 180g that replaced my 90g with mostly fish being the few additions before I ramp up the corals.

 

[Royce White]

Bought my 2nd AI prime light.

A new wrasse!
