I knew that title would get people in here!
I have a 4 more $20 gift certs to Drs. Foster Simth that I need to use up by tomorrow.
I can only use one per order, so to maximize their profitability I'm trying to spend as close to $20 per order as possible. Then I'll only have to pay a few bucks for shipping. The problem is that most things I think I would upgrade are an order of magnitude more than the gift cert.
My NPS tank is still about 5 months away from being setup (house has to be built still). So keep that in mind with suggestions - i.e. no live/frozen items.
Have:
30 gallon cube, 10 gallon sump.
heater & temp controller
return pump (wouldn't mind getting a new one, but ~$20 options are quite limited - Only the Eugene Danner SP-200 would fit this category, and I don't know anything about those pumps )
plumbing
I still need some lights, but I was going to get a strip of LED's with adjustable colors. It's NPS, so I won't need bright lights.
I do need a single LED 'spotlight' with some power as I'm thinking of keeping one or two photosynthetic corals.
I know I'll need new RO/DI media, filters etc, but it seems so inefficient to purchase from DFS when Bulk Reef Supply has them for so much cheaper.
I don't know, I have a tub of parts and pieces that one accumulates over the years.
What would you spend $20 on for your NPS tank?
