OK HERE IT IS: get the mermaid costume and the coconut bra IS A MUST, buy him a gift card, leave a path of something leading to the bathroom where you are waiting for him in a nice hot bath (bubbles optional) when he walks in to the room tell him is gift is hidden somewhere in the tub. Where you hide the gift card is up to you.

I here you on this one too. Wife loves to look / watch the tank but hates when I spend money on it, unless it is something she see's and likes.

Get him a new hobby, I love fish stuff too but there are plenty of other things that would surprise me more at Christmas. Like a puppy or more seriously a Traxxas Summit RC 4WD Electric Monster Truck. I can't imagine anyone not having a tonne of fun that thing.

At the end of the day the guy sounds like he's got the aquarium stuff under control, he can obviously get whatever he wants without any issues. The best kind of gift is something he wants but has been told he can't have. If there's something you've put your foot down on in the past the best gift you can possibly give is a lighter foot. Trust me guys are just like girls, they want what they can't have.

The 300g is out of the question, I would have considered it if it is not so high maintenance, but honestly just hydro bill is gonna double up every single month, and at the moment is already hitting $150!
Besides, if he spends all his downtime scrubbing his new 300g, he wouldn't have time for me.
