I have been buying supplies for my first tank and my gift actually slipped through the cracks as a number of other deliveries happened on and around the same day. I made an unfortunate error in thinking I had not received my SS gift and I apologize. I did receive them and I am very thankful!

I will be able to make great use of my new Marine Salinity Tester - Hanna Instruments to help maintain my tank. The 10 oz. Bottle BRS Extra Thick Gel Super Glue will be amazing as soon as I get started on the rock work for my first tank! I'm lagging a bit behind at the moment because I am in between surgeries but I expect to get to it soon!

Again, whoever you are, thank you so very much and I apologize again for my mistake!

Regards,

Brad

So let me start off by saying Thank you to R2R for doing this. Secondly I posted last years & this years gifts from my Secret Santa - I want to show them both love on this post.
Last year right before Christmas my became very ill. So I never got a chance to post last year because she needed emergency surgery & I took 2 months off work to take care of her.
Towards the end of 2021 I came down with the pneumonia from my 2nd vaccine shot. I was off work for 3 months myself including emergency surgery needed on myself with a 10 day hospital stay. I'm doing better.
I am still playing catch up. Tank took a pretty big nitrate spike & I lost some fish & corals. Tank is now recovering with me lol
I joined Secret Santa 2021 late but I was accepted. This really made my Christmas Season special. I wanted to do this & glad I've been apart of this yearly tradition for me now 2 years.

I'm sure I can speak for people here and wish you guys all the best and a speedy recovery. Life sometimes kicks you in the teeth, but all we can do is get up and keep fighting.

I couldn't figure out how to send a personal message to my secret Santa, but thank you. Awesome gift they must have looked at my tank. I have my frag wrack in there from my old sump which is pretty ugly and they sent me this. It will be a nice improvement .

Glad you like it man. I have a few of their racks and figure everyone should, and could use one too. Merry Christmas!

Big thanks to my my Secret Santa. My gift finally arrived (no fault of theirs) it was delayed in postage with various problems of international shipping compounded by a country with closed borders. My partner even had to liaise with them by email so she knows who you are but she won't tell me.

I have been pretty spoiled and it was certainly worth the wait, Some anemones will be safe now while others will not :)

Big thanks to the team at Reef2Reef for making it all happen.

Cheers
Al

Glue--can't ever have too much glue for frags!!
And the big wow, a painting of my favorite fish--an anthia! Going to have this framed (hey I work at michaels!) and it will go in my office/fish room. Love it!!
