What would you spend $100 on?

I just won an amazon gift card. I'm thinking about getting one of those Hydor units to plug my powerheads into so I don't have to manually unplug them when direct-feeding.

If you had $100 to play with, what would you get from Amazon?

It's $51 with my Prime membership...so $50 to go. I'm thinking about this:

It's a direct squirt feeder, but I can't imagine it does anything significantly better than my $5 turkey baster.

I bought one of these for under $50 (with a small pump):

Running great for about 6 months now.

I like that item, bmackwk, added to my purchase list. Scooter's ATO will go before it though.

I actually just purchased an automatic feeder and an ATO. I would suggest these.

That's the hardest part about this hobby - waiting. I'd probably buy an auto feeder. Just got $50 Amazon so that's likely gonna happen soon. Patience is not my forte.

For the record, I got the direct-feeder thing and the Hydor smart wave controller. For the next $100, it'll be one of those reactor things I'm learning about that healthlinder 25 mentioned.

I will, of course, first buy a cheap one, then throw it away and buy the one I should have bought in the first place.

A bottle of decent scotch. Oh, I guess you can't get that on Amazon.
