What's your 2019 wish list?

[TMB]

Well… I just spent the last hour reading about greed and price gouging in the hobby, and it got me to thinking… What do I really want to spend money on in 2019? I’m talking the ultimate purchase for the year?

I’m sort of tired of hearing about cost vs. value, the real value of things, and blah blah blah. I like dreaming about frivolous purchases!

I want to know what you’re planning on splurging on this year? Or what your reefing dreams are for this year. I originally was thinking of asking what SPS frag you really want? But it could really be anything I guess…

Is it Equipment? A New Tank? Super Ultra SPS? Or maybe new Lighting?

Anything goes – small purchase or large. This doesn’t need to turn into who is the biggest or baddest, or who’s got the most money (although if you do, we’d all like to live vicariously through you, so please share!!).

1 rule though – you must share pictures of your dream purchase, or something that resembles it. Pictures are worth a thousand words, and I want to see em!

I’ll go first… one way or another; in 2019 I’m going to find one of these:
The RR Jaw Dropper.

This beautiful colony was grown by @Russo757 (thank you for permission to use your photo!) One day this will be mine!!!


Ok R2R, your turn. Let’s see those 2019 Wish lists!!

Oh and one more thing – better hide this thread from your significant other!

I really want to convert my dinky display into a frag tank until I’m sure I won’t move in two years. So I’m going to be splurging in that.

I will still play your sps game and my number one sps is gotta be a pink Cadillac

*neither of these images are mine

I would like to find somebody to trade with that has every Atlantis Aquarium coral all in one place. ...or WestSide aquarium corals. Oldies are the best for me.

 

[TMB]

@jda I know you're hiding the good stuff in your tank! You should share a pic or 2 of you favorites, or what you're looking for.

 

[Geebs19]

I need to get another wave make and upgrade my pump.

Then I’m planning to get a tunze ato. I lose about 1-2 gallons a day.

From there I want to start getting into acros and add 1-2 more fishies.

Cost wise I should be able to get to all of this in 2019.

 

[Billldg]

My ultimate number 1 wish for 2019 doesn't have a picture. It's to keep my tank from crashing and costing a small fortune in corals.

Since my crash cleaned my tank out it allows me to dream bigger. My wish for this year is to have a sps dominant tank, converted from a lps tank. I plan on purchasing a high dollar pack from @Battlecorals, most of their high end stuff, especially that aquatic-man table.

 

[Mark Gray]

I need 1 more Light and a custom made lid

Jaw Dropper is on my list too. Gonna trade some Heart of the Ocean for it if I can fine somebody with some that can be fraggged - so far, most people just have nubs. Pink Panther, OG Purple Monster and JF Purple Blade Simplex make up the rest of the ones that nearly everybody wants. I don't deal in trendy stuff, trick light tenuis or the like.

Atlantis Aquarium 24k Acropora would be a grail of mine too. This is so rare, that Google cannot even find photos of it. You gotta be around a while to remember this one.

I would also like for somebody to post a 6' 3x Single Ended Sfiliogi light for sale.

Wwc pink panther is so underrated. It’s one of my favorites that I have cooking.
CC Disney jr is a close second

 

[Hemmdog]

I want an Apex w/ trident. Just to make sure things are really as stable as I think they are.

 

[Anirban]

A 200+G upgrade (working on it) and some old school acros specially deep water ones.

 

[ljc293]

i'd love to get and KEEP a nice master scoly.

@Anirban
Wow!! Awesome! 200+ gallon upgrade will be sweet. I just checked out your build thread and it was super cool!! Gonna spend some time and read it all. Tag me into your next build thread, I'd love to follow it.

 

[Randy the reef guy]

I'm going to be focused on acquiring some new gear for the first part of 2019. I'd like to upgrade my skimmer with a neck cleaner and skimmate collection chamber. I also NEED an apex.

See, this is what I'm talking about... getting what we NEED! And I NEED one of those neck cleaners! Good job man, those will be sweet upgrades!

 

[Dan I]

I'm in the works of getting two of the three of my wish list. Those two would be CC Disney Jr and BC Bubblebath Unicorn. I should be able to snag the 3rd after my birthday which is the WWC Forgemaster (lost my frag during move. )

 

[TMB]

I really want to change all in my life. To become better in all areas. But it is not an easy way. First of all, I want to become less stressful. And increase my Brain power. Choose one that needs changes and work in this direction.

First off... Welcome to R2R!!! You have already upgraded your life right there!
Second, good luck on your journey! Looking forward to seeing an amazing reef from you.

Praying Indonesia can find a sustainable way to start exporting corals again.
