Your Wishlist if Cost Wasn't An Issue

[Fichmiester]

Hey everyone...it's been a while since I was here! My 150 gal FOWLR install got delayed 4 months due to various time restraints. Needless to say, it is now up and running. My 30th birthday is coming up and my fiance keeps bugging me for a wish list (I'm terrible at asking for gifts), so I figured I'd leave it up to the R2R Community.

If cost wasn't an issue, what would you do with YOUR CURRENT TANK SETUP to give it more bells and whistles?

Is it fish? upgrade equipment? automaters? etc...

Thanks for the birthday ideas in advance!

If it was a reef tank, I could think of an endless list. I am not sure what’s required for a FOWLR. The new hydros 4 pro pack would be cool.

I think that all depends on what you currently have and without knowing the details of your current setup it will be very difficult to suggest anything.

I'd get the apex oxygen sensor. I'd like to know the tank's oxygen levels 24/7, but $800 is a little steep. Might spring for a $250 handheld meter.
We measure a lot of things and assume oxygen is mostly ok, since no floaters.

Fair. So far, what I have...

Reef Octopus Protein Skimmer
Duetto ATO
Current 72in LED Bar
Magfloat Magnet Cleaner

Full GHL set up for hardware and a nice OG for a coral if money was not an option. I am not about to spend that much on my budget my wife would have me sleeping on the couch for months. And side note, when my wife was not interested I got away with whatever but now that she is becoming interested ( I have been trying to get her excited for years) she notices a new coral or piece of gear quickly and knows how to look it up online to see general pricing. Careful what you wish for I guess HaHa. Her ignorance was my bliss for a long time

I would bump up my filtration:
turbo ATS
or if you have an apex there fuge light.
or any other nice fuge light.

OR
a UV ( 40 or 57 wat)

OR 2 BRS mini reactor 1 for carbon 1 for GFO

PS all can be found at BRS except the Turbo ATS but a quite google search will get you there.

I really want an alkatronik. I know this is a reef thing but I really hate testing alk and I think the auto testing would help me catch problems sooner.

For my fowlr tank I would get my dream fish. Would love a cross hatch trigger pair, tiger angelfish pair, anularis emperor hybrid angel, feminine wrasse, dusumeri tang, a school of golden butterflies, school of ventralis anthias, and a nice zebra eel. I could spend alot of money fast.
