Automatt · 12/25/2010, 12:35 PM

Figured is start a thread for everyone to brag about the cool stuff they got or stuff they are excited about.

I got a 3 gal pico and a refractometer im pretty excited about making a baby zoa tank or a cool qt.

Anyone get anything cool?

Pufferpunk · 12/25/2010, 10:25 PM

I always get a gift card to Coral Reef from my stepdaughter.

MeatWad · 12/25/2010, 10:27 PM

Ok guys and gals I need some help I got enough cash to either pick up the kinect add-on for the xbox 360 which will make my girl happy or I can buy the 2nd diy led kit and get my 29 biocube up and running so I can move my over stuffed 14 biocube into it which will make me happy. I dont know what to do?

I want my reef moved over but I will need a bit more cash than what I have but it will let me get a good start as all I will need after is about 15lbs of rock which will be cheap and some sand which runs about $30 for what I want plus about $100 in random power heads and stuff. I have the cash but I dont have the cash if you know what I mean. I will love the new tank but kick myself after what I add up how much this Christmas cost lol so what would you do?

Wow I see your situation. I'm a gamer myself and love playing videogames like no other but I am also in love with having an addictive hobby. I decided to get my fish tanks up and running and than get the kinect attachment for my xbox later. That is always going to be available. in the hobby, you never know what you will come up to next or what you can see or learn. So I guess that's the reason y I chose to get my tank going. Best of luck on your decision.

Hanna Pocket meters for alk and phos. They work great.

Automatt · 12/25/2010, 11:30 PM

Id say get the tank up and running and switched over. Sell the biocube and you can get ur x box stuff. I have an x box I hardly play anymore even though I enjoy it just because this hobby in my opinion makes me happier. Plus gaming vs. A stimulating hobby. Is always better then turning into a fat gamer lol I do love video games though lol.

jlenhardt · 12/25/2010, 11:57 PM

My wife and I bought our own Christmas presents this year. She bought a 55" LG flat screen with 3-D and I bought a Super Reef Octopus XP-2000 External Protein Skimmer.
