We all love our reef tanks that we have, and are always looking for ways to improve it. I am wondering what is it that you want to improve with your tank? Maybe it is adding new livestock to it, new equipment, or even getting a bigger tank. Curious to know everyone's input!

It never ends for me, every tank I've put up is getting constant upgrades. I will say if I could upgrade one thing for my tank, it would be a 3d printer. I do a lot of mods or upgrades with 3d printed parts and always have to order them

I would love to get a 3d printer one day. So many cool things you can make with them.

I'm going to eventually go with a hybrid lighting fixture. I will add two Reefbrite strips to fill in shaded spots. I will get rid of the goosenecks and go with one large hanging fixture. Just gotta save up, because they aren't cheap. :grinning-squinting-face:

To get setup so my ATO resivour automatically fills itself from my 35 gallon R.O bin in the basement.
I need to do something like that vs lugging a bucket around haha

Honestly just wish i had a good path to sell some of my freshwater fish- i have a sumped 180, with a huge UV sterilizer on it that i want to convert to FO but my penchant for aggressive, large fish leaves it hard to move on them.

I also wish i could dial in my nyos skimmer, thing makes no sense. they recommend 8" of water, its only works well in 3" and it just stopped working entirely yesterday. hate to do it but i need get a new skimmer.

i also have an old algae scrubber that never made sense to me, didn't seem to work at all.

You know with corals it’s worse than drugs you’re always one more so I would add another tank that I can do different type of coral on each tank LPS/SPS
