[silverfly]

That is a good one!
No tank equiptment though?

[mbl]

auto top off is allways the first thing to buy to make this hobby easier if you dont have one.

[silverfly]

I dont mind doing the top ups but one to think about. Thanks!

For me, A good algea magnet. Relatively cheap and easy.

[widmer]

On my list:

rox carbon from brs - $25
ATO from brs - $40
refractometer - $40

[pammy]

Dosing pump or two to dose 2 part solution would be good (BRS sells a good one) or a PH Monitor like the Pinpoint would be great if you don't have one already. I always enjoy gift cards to my LFS so I can pick out new fish or coral.

Profilux doser with 3 pumps. You can dose 2 part solution, as well as vodka.

Or a Tunze wavebox. I love mine.

[BLKTANG]

D90 with 100mm Macro Lense.

I just ordered the dual reactor from brs to run HC GFO and Carbon with maxijet 1200 pump.
I couldn't wait till xmas. ;)

Reefkeeper Lite is another idea. Love mine.
I agree with ATO, but that's not as fun and it's pretty cheap anyway. Just get one, you'll be glad you did.

Whats that? I know little about this complex stuff.lol.
Good ideas guys

[lordofthereef]

You said you don't have reactors... is that a hint that you WANT some? A reefkeeper, Aquacontroller, or Apex are always nice little additions too. True you may not have much to automate now, but getting graphs of your params and having that expandability is also pretty nice.

[Pawky]

I like the camera idea. But based on the setup you described I'd get a controller, controlable pump or nice ATO.

[Amoore311]

Apex Controller.

Watching over the tank is soooooo much easier with this thing installed.

[arredondojason]

i am deployed to afgahnastan and come home just before christmas so we had to discuss our gifts over the phone so i am getting 2 vortech MP40's god i love my wife.

[tkeracer619]

Thats one cool wife or there is a big dent in one of your cars ;)

Reactors, ATO, Controller, power heads, small generator, the list goes on and on.

[NKYdude]

controler

for sure..

i'm in a storm prone (power outage prone) area so i might opt for a gas powered generator...

[solitude127]

ATO!! It makes life so much easier.

no i am deployed in afgahanastan so i have been saving just had to get permission before i spent that much money. lol.

[silverfly]

Hmm, like the reefkeeper. Reactors would be good. How about a refugium?
How does the ato work?
Thanks santa

[rswood1]

Controller for sure.

[Paco]

1. ATO
2. Controller (I have an AquaController Jr and it's cheap and does what I want)
3. Tunze controllable pumps
4. AquaSurf to control Tunze Controllable pumps (if you already have #2)

At least that's how I did it :)
