#SecretSanta2019

My secret Santa is amazing. We absolutely LOVE this piece of art. We’re taking it to Michaels to get it professionally framed. What a fantastic gift. I’m glad I didn’t get what I asked for. It was boring ‘ole Red Sea A and B. This is a work of art!!! (Pun intended). The light does it no justice. I was trying to get all the colors to pop. It’s on a nice piece of canvas and numbered and signed by the artist.

THANKS MY SECRET SANTA!!!!!

That is beautiful - congratulations!!! I always enjoy when others make even better gift selections than I would have made if I was picking something out myself!

Recieved my gifts from my secret santa today. Thank you so much and wishing your family a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

The flipper scraper was exactly what I wanted to clean along the sand. I accidentally got sand in between my algae magnet once and ended up scratching the glass in a few spots. I can't wait to try out the glasses also.

my gift arrived today and I couldn’t be happier. My Santa went above and beyond. I have been looking at incorporating an ATS into my AIO nano but the options were slim. No worries for Santa though as he fabricated an AWESOME diy up flow ATS that will fit perfectly in one of my chambers. Truly wowed at the thought and effort that was put into this gift. THANK YOU! Pics coming soon...

My gift arrived today - right on time! I had my daughter wrap it as is and put it under the tree. I'll open it in the morning. But my dogs are already giving hints - they've both been a little bit TOO interested in that one package. I'm guessing that because of my avatar photo my SS must have put some kind of dog treat in there...

Big thank you to my Secret Santa!
I had Gadgets on my wish list, and they sent me a whole neat case of gadgets. Slicers, snippers, picker-uppers and pokers! Now I have everything you need for snipping & plucking and scraping & cutting - maybe this means I soon need a whole new tank just to grow out frags!

Thanks, Secret Santa and to the Reef2Reef elves for putting this in place. I love the gadgets you sent me, I loved finding something for my own recipient and I love following along with all the other great gifts and the joy they are bringing.

and another BIG thank you to my Secret Santa! I was thrilled with the fragging tools kit, and then these arrived over the past few days: a reactor (for carbon, maybe gfo too?), an acclimator box (check out the cartoons of the happy fish vs sad fish when you rush acclimation - love it!) and of course a pair of clownfish socks. Thank you big time!!!

Merry Christmas, everyone!!

Wow - I bet you had a long night with 7.8 billion possible gift recipients! I can only imagine how out of hand those naughty and nice lists are getting! Thankfully you let me off easy this year and I got some really nice stuff!

Merry Fishmas and Merry Christmas R2R family and friends!
Got another package from my SS! My wife opened it up for me before heading out to see family, I'll get pictures later. So generous of you @Bryce M. Merry Christmas to you and yours!

So I guess the dogs were just sniffing out the TDO & Reef Chili after all. I'm still just blown away. Thank you so much, whoever you are in Munster, IN!
