Could y'all have picked an uglier color for the badge? Lol!

Edit: I didn't mean to be rude... I've just never liked "split-pea-soup green"! :beaming-face-with-smiling-eyes:

Edit: maybe a nice maroon or purple?
Haha! I wanted a Christmas color. I was going for pine green, but this was the only green available. :rolleyes:

Sure the gift can be anything you think your person would like. Like me, I'm a coffee snob who loves to try different coffees from local areas not around me. I also love honey from different parts of the country. (hint, hint)

When you fill out the profile questions, you give details that your Secret Santa can use to get something fun.

  1. What country are you located in? USA (Iowa – corn capital of the world, haha)
  2. What is one thing you always need more of? Reef related would be snails. My melanurus wrasse has developed a taste for escargot. But in general? TIME.
  3. What do you like to do on the weekends? Hang out with the fam, go paddling (weather-permitting), visit my LFS to see what new coral/fish they got in (bad habit), tank maintenance, do activities with my son… I’m kind of a home-body.
  4. What are your other hobbies/interests? Reefing obviously (also planted freshwater tanks), kayaking & boating – anything outdoors, my dogs, true crime, reading, home improvement projects, music/concerts.
  5. How do you relax after a long day at work? Catch up with my son about his day, watch the fish for a bit/tinker with my tank, then cuddle with my dogs on the couch while watching true crime documentaries (with a glass of wine, depending on how long the day was).
  6. Do you collect anything? Not really but my husband claims I have too many buckets and too many dogs. For the record, I only have 3 dogs… (but an unknown # of buckets, lol)!
  7. What is your favorite color? Tiffany Blue.
  8. What is one TV show or movie you can watch over and over again? TV show: Schitt’s Creek, movie: Nat’l Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation.
  9. What type of music do you listen to? Mostly country and some 90s-2000s hip hop/rock/alternative, but I like a little bit of everything!
  10. Do you follow any sports teams? Nope – only time I watch sports is the Super Bowl. Even then, I’m just there for the snacks and commercials.
  11. What's your favorite fish? Of mine? Tie between my flame hawkfish & melanurus wrasse (despite his habit of unaliving my CUC, lol). Love wrasses.
  12. Favorite coral? Probably the elegance coral – honorable mentions go out to hammers and pulsing xenia though.
  13. Favorite invert? Ooooh… toss up between tuxedo urchin and cleaner shrimp.
  14. Tell us about your tank(s)! What size are they? What do you keep in them? Do you have a build thread? 75 gallon reef, currently with just softies and LPS, a rainbow bubble tip nem, rock flower nems, and a mix of fish and inverts. Running a canister filter and love it. My first tank, a 32.5 gallon Fluval Flex AIO, is sitting empty at the moment. Might convert it to freshwater later.
  15. Do you have any planned upgrades or hopeful future tweaks to your tank(s)? I still need to install the protein skimmer, ATO, and arms for the light bars (been lazy). Also I want to get a custom-fit acrylic lid.
  16. What's your favorite thing to watch in your tank? Don’t know how to pick one thing – there is so much going on! I enjoy watching all the critters do what they do, like the cleaner shrimp going to work on a fish, goby sifting sand, or corals eating.
  17. Are there any parts of the reef hobby you get really excited over? Developments in captive breeding and aquaculture. I also really enjoy the whole reefing community.
  18. What are some good gift ideas for you? (This isn't meant to be a wish list. Just some general thoughts or ideas for whoever draws your name.) Hmm… it would be cool to receive another reefer’s favorite or must-have item/accessory/supplement/food, etc they use with their own tank, or a book on coral ID or marine fish/inverts they’ve enjoyed/found useful. I also drink a lot of coffee… a reef-themed coffee mug (or any mug/insulated tumbler) would be awesome. Bonus points if it makes me laugh.
  19. Would you be interested in receiving livestock? If yes, what would you be interested in? *disclaimer due to the busy holiday season we recommend not shipping livestock* Sure – I love softies, especially mushrooms, toadstools & leathers... but may not a good idea right now as I’m in the Midwest and the highs are in the 40s and dropping.
  20. Are there any additional questions you wish we had asked that we didn't? (Add those questions in under these and post your answers.) Nope!

fairly confused Santa, we make a profile answering questions, register on eflster, but dont make an elfster list? For those of us who dont want tank related items or dont have a tank currently... its a GREAT option to have a elfster list.

Have elfster for past like 3 years.. u have a link for auto signup like prior years?

fairly confused Santa, we make a profile answering questions, register on eflster, but dont make an elfster list? For those of us who dont want tank related items or dont have a tank currently... its a GREAT option to have a elfster list.

Have elfster for past like 3 years.. u have a link for auto signup like prior years?
The discussion in this thread might help explain the change: https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/why-are-we-moving-away-from-wish-lists.949930/ People can still use wish lists if they want to.
