With the new year, a lot of us are probably thinking about what we want to do with our tanks this year. Maybe it is adding new equipment, or maybe it is adding new livestock to our tanks. I am wondering what are you wanting to add to your tank this year? Curious to hear everyone's input!

I'd like to add a LED bar to supplement my kessil lighting to alleviate shadowing and get a little more blue pop since the sunlight from a nearby window, while helpful for growth, tends to wash out all the fluorescence for a few hours every day. I decided I'll use an orphek blue bar, but still struggling/debating on how to mount it on my tank. I want it on the front 50%, but angled toward the center of the tank. If anyone has recommendations for a mount that can rest on the rim of the tank, while allowing me to "tilt" the fixture, that would be awesome!

More fish. I’d really like 2-3 more convict tangs to join my current convict but not sure how everyone will react to them

Two things.
I want to add a T5 fixture over my aquarium, IE swap out my LEDs for T5s and hope nothing gets mad at me. I would also love to add another anemone and a second pair of clownfish to live in it.

Supplement doser and ATO. Tired of doing both prior to leaving for work. Doser ordered and on its way!
Can't go wrong with an ATO! One of the best purchases I made for my tank

You have a specific size you are going for?
At least a 500g and has to be acrylic! I have the space in the fish room. The hardest part is convincing the Boss - that’s my New Year’s Resolution! I almost pulled the trigger on a 1100g last year but later realized that the divorce might cost MUCH more than the tank! Ugh

I have hopes to add a green mandarin dragonet…BUT…. Until my tank is fully matured and I know it will support a pod population to sustain one I will wait patiently.

Getting my new tank set up, so more fish, corals, everything all around! Maybe get myself a clam if all goes smoothly this year :D
Best of luck to getting a new tank! Clams would be cool to have

Probably a turf scrubber for me. Chaeto seems to do well for a few months and then dies off. Nutrients are quite high so it's not starving. Need to keep them a bit lower to ensure stability. Also would like to install a larger saltwater reservoir.
