Ok my tank has been up a while and I'm wondering what do I buy next.

I have a tank, sump, return pump, circulation pumps, lights, heaters, simple test kits, and protein skimmer. I am running with live rock, live sand, and chaeto.

I am keeping fish right now with hardy soft corals.

I have $125 burning a hole in my pocket.

So the next questions is what is next on the list to get if I want to keep fish, soft corals and zoanthids/p(whatever the are called)?

+1 on the ato, i think that is going to be my next purchase as well, but I think I am going to go with the tunze which is a little more pricey but uses optical sensors instead of float switches.

I was thinking an RO/DI system. The ATO is really that important? I have been topping off manually about a gallon a day with the meijer/kroger drinking water.

Controller (with an ATO)

I would just make sure if you buy an ato it is with a controller based on there are some real cheap units that stick. Once they stick then they keep filling fresh water until it runs out and will destroy all your progress.
