Does an unboxing video count?
Video script layout pre production
Part one:
Open door and look at box
Bring box inside
Cut tape/Open box
Cut tape/Open cooler
Move peanuts/spill peanuts
Pull out individual bags with coral names
Acclimate bags
Quickly realize it's hard to find room for all the bags...make it work

Part 2

Step one: intercept delivery guy before he gets to the front door so wife doesn't see!

Step 2: smuggle large box to back of house and in basement door.

Step 3: try to quickly and quietly process 15 or so frags and somehow blend them into the tank to make it look like they have alway been there.

Wish me luck!

Here's how mine usually goes:

Step 1: get delivery notification

Step 2: call my wife and say, "Oops, I ordered some coral the other day and it just got there. Can you start acclimating it for me?"

Step 3: listen to a lecture about my tank being full AGAIN and needing to upgrade AGAIN.

Step 4: get the phone call - "How many did you buy????"

Step 5: get home, hug and kiss the wife extra for the great job she did.

Step 6: choose amazing coral placements

Step 7: ignore the family and stare at the tank

Step 8: remember that I forgot to take pictures!

Step 9: charge the phone - after all, it's dead from being on Reef2Reef all day

Step 10: take pictures

Step 11: eat dinner

Step 12: watch the corals one last time before their lights go out

Step 13: sleep!

All these problems with the wifeys round here. Lol. If bills are paid, spend your money on what you want and she spends hers on what she wants....errrrbody happy!
"She" doesn't work so she gets some of my money. Bills are paid, we both spend plenty. She's happy, I'm happy. She just likes to complain that I spent money on the fish tank. That's why I take her to the store to pick the fish. I usually end up spending twice as much as I planned and she's a part of the decision so she's happy.

Close to how mine goes, but it's ignore dog. And it's at the opening that she finds out how much I spent. I usually get one for her to keep her happy too. In this case, all my zoas...

Step 1: single
Step 2: beer
Step 3: beer
Step 4: oh **** frags are here!
Step 5: better get another beer
Step 6: acclimate & dip coral, don't spill beer
Step 7: wait and drink beer
Step 8: put in tank
Step 9: beer for a job well done.
Step 10: more beers

JK! I usually have to run home from work to accept delivery. If I didn't take the day off, it's usually an hour or so process. Then I go back to a place where there is definitely no beer.
