Just got the last of mine. My SS is amazing. He got me superglue gel, and aquascaping tool set for my FW community tank, and my favorite candy EVER, Maltesers. Thank you so much @kdino for the great gifts! Can't wait to do this again next year.

My Secret Santa made me cry...... As everyone knows, I am legally blind. I still have residual vision as long as it's up close and brightly colored and I'm a zoa fanatic (because of the bright colors). My SS got me the most beautiful @joshporksandwic wrapped canvas, bookmark AND a photo print! It's like having my gorgeous zoas up close and personal! It is the most thoughtful gift on earth. I just stared at it and cried and cried. My SS also got me an Orphek Azurelight (the BEST gift for a blind reefer!), a collection of dark chocolates (every girl's best friend), and my beloved Pohl's Coral Vitalizer!

This was truly an amazing assortment of gifts! I wish you a very Merry Christmas from the bottom of my heart

Might frame this little drawing, it made my day!

Thanks, Peter S for the gifts sent. I have really enjoyed the overall SS experience with R2R. The only disappointment was that I missed last year.
  1. Reefing Art - Max Frag Rack (Really needed for my Tank
  2. Bubble Magus - 8' Coral Viewer (The need for this was long Overdue)
  3. Awesome Shirt - "Can You be More PACIFIC" * Nutcracker Not included

It's here!!! Thank you soooooo much to my secret (but not so secret anymore) santa @Eagle_Steve!!!! After all the headache of the package being stolen, he was kind enough to resend the gift!!! I cannot wait to play around with these. I've really gotten into coral photography the past month and had these at the top of my christmas list. Once my tank lights go on, I will see if I can get some new cool shots with them on.

Also, just wanted to say an extra thank you to my SS recipient, @Kattkrazie! You are a really great person and definitely also made my week with your kindness!

Merry Christmas everyone!

Before and after photo taken with the new lenses. Thanks again @Eagle_Steve! Can't wait to play with them when the lights are fully on.
Hahaha. Can you imagine how confused the thief must have been? Btw, I had an old rain jacket, a power strip and TAMPONS stolen out of my car last week. These people are desperate out here. Would be awesome to see their faces while trying to figure out what in the heck they had taken.
