Blue Christmas: What didn’t Santa bring?

Blue Christmas: What didn’t Santa bring?

Did you end up with nice Christmas presents but not THE present? When you said socks, did they not realize you meant filter socks? Were you hoping for a new LED light for your reef tank, another add-on for your controller, or maybe a gift card to your favorite coral vendor? The new Hanna Marine Monitor was just introduced – was that on your list? After all the presents were opened, did you notice that there was something that Santa didn’t bring for your reef tank that was on your list? Let’s talk about what you are still hoping for (maybe Santa’s running late?).

Cough syrup (everything's been sold out for months)...

[Mschmidt]

For me.

For the coming baby.

For the wife.

I got a Smart Buddie booster pump for my current RODI system. I was hoping for a boost in my current tank size. I have a 40 breeder. My Christmas list had a IM 100g with white stand...didn't get it. Well there is hope for one on my bday in March LOL

Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas. Here is to a healthy and happy New Year!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Gumbies R Us]

Got a 75L (20gal) Red Sea Nano, and a few other reef-related equipment. Plus clothing, lots of clothing

Santa still hasn't turned the power back on in parts of Vermont...or maybe I should blame the Grinch or the Heat Miser for that nasty storm. The hatchery I work at has been on generator power since Thursday night and that's the Christmas miracle that we still have those running.

Maybe baby New Year will bring a big clean up crew.

voted fish, but in reality, santa brought me dead fish...in bad packaging :\

 

[BuddyBonButt]

Got everything I needed. Just want a nice microscope. For my business and ID'ing small critters in the tank

 

[JoJosReef]

Two gift cards for @Cultivated Reef !!

Also a Hanna low range phosphate checker and a Noopsyche K7 mini. Not too bad, but not the IM 112 INT that I was dreaming of. I'll be better next year, I promise!!

I don't trust an open top sled for fish deliveries in this weather. I do have a delivery soon with a couple fish from Dr. Reefs though.

 

[Fish Think Pink]

Feeling blessed I got everything I wanted, either from my Secret Santa but mostly I got it during Black Friday and other season sales. Now my checking account needs an infusion, but all-in-all we are in a good place!

 

[Cichlid Dad]

I have to vote other because I have the most awesome Wife, I mean Santa. She got me a blue torch coral and new reef octopus skimmer. She says it's cheaper than muscle cars so she can't complain

 

[SteveMM62Reef]

I asked for some more ReefBar Pro’s, was very specific on what I wanted, didn’t get them.

 

[Nemo&Friends]

Voted other. Did not hope for anything, did not want anything so did not get any thing. I prefer to buy my own supplies as needed, this way I get exactly what I want and am not disappointed.

 

[DannoOMG]

No more aiptasia. Santa didn't deliver.

=(

 

[jabberwock]

I got myself a Neon Blue Cleaner Goby. The most expensive fish by the pound on the planet!

 

[Hurricane Aquatics]

Cough syrup (everything's been sold out for months)...

LOL, if you're serious. Here, this is THE ingredient in cough syrup without the nasty taste. Works great, too.
