Default What did you all buy yourself for Christmas?

My husband's gift this year was the Vertex skimmer - first time it wasn't a surprise but I was desperate ok But I'm sure we all indulged ourselves with the various sales going on. I only bought a couple of things at the JL sale (trying to show restraint while new tank takes shape): a cool scroll coral, and this:





(Excuse the algae, HOB skimmer has been unable to keep up with my fish)
I always wanted a starfish but most are too big and they are difficult to keep. But I really couldn't resist this one and feel it has a good chance in my tank. (S)he didn't move around too much at first but today was very active. A fascinating creature. Amazing colour.

Lol unfortunately... but I do like you starfish. The tank I have now is great (150g) but I bought it used so there are some things I wanted to change. Finally pulled the pin and will be building a 225g with 80g sump.

Not aquarium-related, but I dropped ridiculous money on power and hand tools.

Haha this works as well! Keep her happy and you will get less resistance when acquiring some Hot new SPS this year.
