I received another box from my SS today, a frag rack from OctoAquatics!! I love it! I am having some tank issued right now but once they are resolved I will load it up with new frags and share a picture. Thank you, Secret Santa

@Squeaky McMurdo After seeing that someone gave a 93G Cube I feel like the little 5G I gave you was junk... Yet I would love to see it if you ended up unwrapping it and it made it to you in one piece. I'm not as worried about the pump I got ya and the 30+ gifts for the kiddos as those were pretty much unbreakable. I hope it was everything you wanted as I know its not the one you asked for but wanted to give you a bit of an upgrade. I would love to know how you felt about it as I am thinking of picking one of the little guys up myself!

FWIW the 93 Cube was a product of multiple (20 orso) Santa's and not just one. You should not for a second feel like the 5 Gallon tank you gifted is junk. I'd absolutely love a 5 Gallon to set up or even that pico tank someone else recieved.

I wanted to share this here to say what a wonderful community this is. I had put my dream tank on the Elfster list just being silly, little did I know, there were some very special elves hard at work. These are the elves that swear and drink. My favorite kind. On Christmas Eve I got an email with this...The Miracle Tank

Junk, no way!!!!! I'm not even sure a pico tank can be junk. It's a whole different kind of magic. A snow globe of a mini ocean!

@LadyMac

Nice!! I'm a coffee drinker

@Dierks I did unwrap it and it made it safely. I wanted a little 5 gallon one so no worries! The 1 gallon pico I tried was a little too unstable and difficult to heat without cooking everything, but it was so fun to look at. I have too many big tanks for the space I have. There’s a 75 gallon US native fw tank in my kitchen on the other side of the wall from my 125 living room sw tank and a 50 gallon sw in my bedroom.

I look forward to setting it up. It being taller is going to be interesting in reguards to aquascaping, but I can see the potential for the section in the back to be a nice little sump.

My magnifying glass and vacuum attachment made it just fine and in plenty of time. Some of the things on my list that I wanted. Thanks to whomever sent the gifts my way!

My secret Santa was on time and on target! Thank you Santa! You did great work!

That's Beautiful!

@JoshH I agree. The picture does not do it justice. Of course, I had to initiate it on Christmas!

I'd be shocked if you hadn't

 

[Tamberav]

Two things found there way to my house. One thing is still in limbo at USPS and hoping it shows up as my Secret Santa said there was a theme to it. Very curious!

Got a frag rack and a bit of a joke/gag gift....a "Nero" lol

The frag rack looks really nice! I am going to get it in the tank tonight and get stuff off my sand bed

Thank you!

It's the thought that counts! I sent three seperate gifts off my recipients wish list and they never even replied with a simple thank you. I guess we were all raised differently.
