What's on your Christmas wish list ?

[davocean]

Well, it seems for me at least pretty much every year there's someone who feels the need to "surprise" me w/ that special gift for me and my tank.(Not that I don't appreciate the thought).
Let's see, one GF got me a maroon AND a flame angel, which she thought was cool to put in my tank for me while at work (that was bad day!)
One friend gave me gave those dolphin halves, w/ the magnets so half could be in and one half out of tank, mmm hmm.
One year a cowfish that ate 3 crocea clams in one day, AND the rest of my tank later.
Last year a cute little mandarin buddy for my other mandarin(both male) :(
So, to avoid kind acts gone wrong this year I decided to throw a list up where everyone can see it, and thought others could join in as well.
So, list your idea of a cool generic gift most reefers could enjoy, and that ONE REALLY COOL thing if you think you've been REALLY good!
And any stories of gifts gone wrong you may have as well.
My cool generic idea, any really good book on corals listing light/food needs.
My big wish, a Euroreef skimmer or a Jasper calcium reactor.
What's yours?

[SDguy]

refractometer.
hanna phosphate photometer
vortech (with controller and battery backup)
second air dryer for my ozonizer

[temec_lover]

sunlight supply 6 bulb tek with individual reflectors

[davocean]

Good choices, I think alot of people can use a good refracto for sure as well as the other stuff.

[SDguy]

The vortech costs too much, so had to buy that myself. :D

Yeah, can you believe it, reefing since '89 and *still* no refractometer :o

[malachai629]

That makes me feel better.

My xmas list: A bigger tank that will actually fit both my budget and my doorframe.

[davocean]

SD, yeah your taste is about like mine, expensive!
I'm sure my big wish stuff will be from myself as well.

Malachai, CRAIGSLIST, CRAIGSLIST, CRAIGSLIST!!!!
I got my 180 RR w/ sump, plumb, and a couple pumps for $250

[Chanas4]

Last year hubby got me my 75G with custom stand and canopy, and my buddy and daughter got me 100 Gift Certificates for DrsFosterSmith.com. Im hoping my buddy will come through for me again

A house to hold my 120

[Shells]

blue tubbs - can anyone make my wish come true?

[coral diver]

Just two wishes
First thing i would like to ask for is for GOD to give blessing to all people who showed thier love and support when i was down
Second is i just wish i could finish cleaning and fixing my little apartment so i can have you guys and gals here

[davocean]

what kind of blue tubbs?
I have one w/ the rope handles I don't use anymore, but it aint new.
The house for the 120...you better find a rich girlfriend dude!
Fostersmith GC's always a good idea.

[davocean]

Yeah Coral, I'd say you deserve something cool under the tree this year for sure!

[DaveMorris]

Marlin's Hammerhead pump for my new 300g.

[Shemp]

a QUIET overflow and sump

[pirate2876]

a nice big tank(150+),and a place closer to my work.

[barometer]

I hope my family and friends all have the best holidays possible, but for myself I'd really like my custom canopy for actinics to magically appear. That or a nice macro lens for my camera :rolleyes: :cool:

[Cuddlefish]

A healthy, frozen-food eating, leopard wrasse. ;)

[DaChrisDude]

My two front teeth.



Er... well, I'm breaking down my tank so I can't really wish for anything for it, but otherwise: the successful start of my business, the healthy and growing relationship between myself and my fiance, Amanda, everyone to buy all my corals for sale... and that I get the new job I applied for.

And world peace. :D

[DaveMorris]

"And world peace."

What...Are you in a beauty pageant???

[h20poloman]

Hopefully a new job...keep your fingers crossed. That will help me stock my tank for 08'.

Since we are also chatting about cigars on another thread....I want a Vector table lighter, those things are sweet

[DaChrisDude]

"And world peace."

What...Are you in a beauty pageant???


Lol, I was wondering if anyone would catch the quote... or own up to watching the movie!

[DaveMorris]

What can I say.....

[Techknowledgy]

Gift certificates to SWI, AW, or OG. Continued health of my reef. Happiness for all my friends and fam damily. Peace in the Middle East, and the impeachment of Bush and Cheney. ..... a refractometer would be nice too!

[loose-electron]

a QUIET overflow and sump

If you need some pointers on that, let me know - read below--

Peter, I received my Vortechs yesterday after you stopped by. I thought I was getting it on wednesday but I didn't check the tracking on it. But the battery backup that I ordered is heavy as hell. I didn't know that the battery was from Ice-Cap, but I think Ecotech Marine is owned by them.

Yep...try holding it with one hand and screwing it in to wood with the other. Of course I'm "handy" challenged but it wasn't easy, especially at the angle I was at.
