[Tuffyyyyy]

I got my secret Santa present yesterday and whoever got me is an awesome person. I received a Hanna Phosphate tester and the BAO Frag Holder. I’ve been dying for that frag holder for years!

Thanks to my awesome secret Santa, JD! Everything was so thoughtful and awesome! He read through my last posts and picked out some items I’ve mentioned- total surprise. He even got some treats for the birds . Thank you so much! Already have the webcam installed on the tank.

The entire haul. Can’t wait to get an encrusting coral for that rock. Wyze webcam, 20mL syringe, acrylic rod, Polyplap coral view lens, and treats for the birds.

First full tank shot with the new Polyp lab coral view lens.

Alex and Scully checking out their treats.

Jasmine has no problem jumping in.

Pia an Harley also checking it out.

BirdyBird ready to eat. The rest of the crew were camera shy.

Love all your birds, you named 6...how many do you have in total??? WOW!!! I had 2 cockatiels about 30 years ago, they were so fun.

I got one of my Secret Santa gifts today! I know i said I would wait, but I had to open at least one.
Its really funny cause yesterday was Friday the 13th and my gift that I needed for making fish food shows up!

Yes a big ole cleaver! ;Joyful for chopping up frozen fish of course! Plus its made by a company called dexter (great blades), but my wife and I binge watched the show Dexter so that was the first thing she said was DEXTER! I couldn't be happier with my gift! My wife is really happy I won't be using her kitchen knives for fish food!

Thank you so much Secret Santa!
P.S.
I know who my SS is and he's AWESOME!

Going thru this thread every day has made my holidays more enjoyable than I ever imagined it would! Incredible to see all the selflessness, and joy from complete strangers. It’s nice to know there is good in the world. I love this place!

i feel the same way. It is better to give than receive...but it's fun getting also.

 

[FishDoc]

You guys!!!! I got my SS Gift today!! Thank You so much "Camron" for all the goodies! I opened it with my wife as I had never done Secret Santa and wanted to share the excitement! Thank you so much for all the gifts, I will use all of them! The journal is just in time as I will use every page as I track all the fish coming in and out of the FisHotel! Candy is a no brainier so that always the correct answer and the Garlic Guard I suppose for the fish! Haha!! We all got great treats!

Thank you to my SS you truly are amazing, and don't worry I will find good use for that Wild Logo as well!!

Go Wild!

Thank you! I have eleven total. I actually lead a nonprofit parrot rescue here in Pittsburgh. I’m a foster failure, especially with the African Grey's, haha. Love the cockatiels. We have several senior ‘tiels at the rescue right now. One is over 30 years old!

My secret santa went above and beyond. Im at a loss for words with how thoughtful and generous my SS was. They even included $50 to WWC for my birthday (day after Christmas). I certainly wasn't expecting anything like this. Who ever you are thank you very much!

 

[AdamNC]

I’ll have fish food for months thanks to my SS. The pellets are even small enough to fit through the feeder for LPS and at my older age I can finally see the smaller polyps with the magnifier. Thank you SS.

 

[Brandon103095]

Secret Santa thank you!!!!! I love the wrapping on the box and the hand written Christmas card. I can’t wait to use the salinity reader ASAP while chowing down on all the snickers haha

Gift number two from my Secret Santa, this will be great in helping me get my tank back on track.

Pictures coming!

An awesome custom Acrylic dosing container too! I guess my fence-sitting days about buying a dosing pump are coming to an end!
