Ok so Christmas is upon us and I know our spouses are reaming many of us for shopping lists. I can think of only tools and fish stuff I woudl want but with a limited budget this year I have issues getting solid ideas.

So what are the rest of you asking for fish related?

Right now I have a powerhead in mind to help fill out some of my deadspots in the tank for better filtration.

Also going to ask for the filter and heater needed to finally start up my guppy breeding tank.

So open up and let me know what you all are asking for so I can perhaps swipe your idea as well. HA HA.


Perhaps I can ask for this and play more with my fish: http://www.raidentech.com/atrarecorcmi.html




YES that last part is a joke but ya gotta admit you thought about it for a second....
 
im gonna ask for a new filter and a new light for my 45 gallon, either an emperor 400 or an AC 70, those 2 things and a nice fillet knife (still fish related.. muwahhahah) - gonna be honest dont really want anything huge this year im pretty content
 
:ROFL: I want a submarine for my tank, hah. Times I wish I was an engineer...add a large bulkhead to your tank (6" diameter or so) and run it through a straight tube to another (hidden, easy access) tank; somehow arrange this so its not an issue with water levels and all that, it just needs to be there and always be full. From here you can drop your submarine in the water (or leave it there), and the submarine has a vac on it with a bag so that it filters your water...drive the sub around to pick up all the crap then dock it back into the other tank to clean the bag & all that mess.

Better yet...build a dock that sits in the tank (it could even be a sweet decoration) that you can dock the sub into to recharge and you could design it such that it could empty itself of crap through the dock out the bottom of the tank.

I'll make millions....yeeeesssssss.



edit: On the sub I'm definitely not thinking some plastic thing like in the link...I'd want to build a 'replica' type sub (either military or like a research unmanned submersible or something....) out of some quality parts & whatnot. Huge tank required...

On a serious note though, I think if I asked my wife for aquarium related stuff for christmas I'd get slapped:ROFL:

If I did though it would either be a 10gal w/ a sponge filter for convict fry, or a 20gal w/ a pump for a sump, or an ac50 for the 20 so I can move the magnum250 to the 65.

Or a uv sterilizer. Or a better light ballast for the 65 so that I could actually maintain some plants (30 watts in a 65g just isn't gonna do it...)
 
all good ideas :P
 
I thought about a UV sterilizer as well but I have shifted some blinds around and I think I have the slight bit of algae under control




And if there was a dock and such for the submarine I would buy it. HA HA. THough I think it woudl stress my fish to have that driving in the tank. though then again they like following my kleen sweep around. I think they are fascinated by the poop being cleaned.

I will definitely be re-visiting this idea when I get my 180 (might be a few years:p)

I asked for and am getting some SA cichlids !!!!:headbang2 I ain't going to give away what they are exactley just yet because I am going to be doing an update in a couple weeks :grinno: They are going to be MONSTERS!!!!!!!!!! when they grow up :eek::grinno:
