My birthday is in January when people are usually out of money lol.

That being said, I’d like to get a skimmer since I don’t have one running, or an Eflux DC return pump. Mine runs at 1050 gph and it’s simply not enough.

Is there any good websites to get coral livestock? I really wanted to give battle corals a shot, but I didn't see any gift cards available for purchase
Did you message them? I know some vendors are working on getting them up on their sites still.

Basement sump lol 100' is actually not enough but I already have the rest. Plus Formufit Direct only sells bulk PVC in 100' bundles. The 100' is what is needed to run the BA drain and return to the tank from the sump.

Wow that's an awesome build. I will definitely be following along. I love the idea for the closed loops as well as adding a basement sump. I can't have a basement in the area that I live but one day hope to have a multiroom/tank system.

a controllable powerhead, more coral, better lights with a 14-20k spectrum. My lights are 8 and 12k. Not the best color. ;Dead

I usually but one Christmas gift for myself every year and I already bought one for my reef. I really splurged this year and bought the top-of-the-line Reef Octopus Elite 150-S Protein Skimmer. I had it out of the box briefly and it's a real Cadillac!!

However, as far as my Secret Santa getting me something. I would like a Maxspect Coral Gluegun. I sick of fumbling little bottles of glue only to get the glue all over my fingers and everything else. These things look pretty slick and can even be used underwater. And when your cartridge of glue runs empty, just insert a new canister cartridge.
