    Ok, so here's the situation. For Christmas I got 150 in visa gift cards (100 of it was "FOR AQUARIUM USE ONLY" according to the giver :D).

    So, now I am debating on what to spend it on and figured I would see what fellow 3reefs think is the best course of action. For reference I have a 29 gallon mixed reef.

    Here are the 3 options I am debating:
    1. Use the 100 on a bulbs and renewing my cleanup crew (I had been planning on spending part of my xmas bonus on this. In this scenario I would pocket that money, and spend the last $50 gift card on something else)

    2. Use the gift cards + some extra cash and buy a Reef Angel Controller (would hold off on the wifi for a little while, don't wanna drop that much money at once, lol :-/)

    3. Get an RODI unit: I'm only leaning away from this because I've not had any problems with the RO water I've been purchasing (atleast, until my bulbs got way too old before I replaced them... but that's another story)

    So, what would YOU do in my shoes?

    The rodi unit will pay for itself and save money in time so that would be the route that I'd go, but it would be really hard to pass up on the Reef Angel.

    Further complicating the issue: BRS is having a ten X points sale. I could, in theory, buy the lights, then use that to buy one of their economy RODI units for a little cheaper after my brs points...

    I'm SO indecisive! lol
