Reef Christmas Presents???

[kkiel02]

What did everyone get for christmas? I bought myself a yellow tang today. Hopefully santa will bring me some gift cards to the lfs.

LOL I told my cousin to get me a gift card but he said he'd already got me something. :(
I'm buying myself some fish for my 100 gallon tank after Christmas. :)
To me, from me! I don't even know what fish to buy. lol
The only fish I have in there is a Firefish I bought on sale from Petco for $8.

[Europhyllia]

I got Gorgonians and Sponges (yellow finger, purple whip, yellow ball, red tree and orange ridge) that I picked up this morning from UPS. :)

My dear husband also made me a gift card with cash in it. LOL. He even put reef pictures on it!:

I already spent it on reef putty, coral food and oyster eggs (Christmas present to my gorgs. lol). Feeling a little grumpy right now because the $25 worth of oyster eggs I bought are all freezer burned and I'm not sure if I should use them. A 70 mile round trip makes it unappealing to return it...

Looking good. I still have a red finger gorg frag if you want it. Just let me know.

Thanks I was tempted when I was eligible for the level 2 frag exchange but I ended up being too lazy to drive to New Braunfels.
I think I also have only about 3 spots in my tank with the perfect flow for gorgs

Now that's a gift lineup! Nice laptop Jose!

[allan]

I got a ridged granite table saw and a frag pack that my wife picked up... so no surprises for me.

Karin, if you're ever up in my area I have to gorganions you can have. They were doing wonderful in my old tank but I can't seem to position them correctly in my current setup. They've been doing poorly and have been declining steadily since and because of that I have had to frag them back a few times to cut away the dead tissue. Actually that goes for any of you who may want to take up the challange of bringing these two back. One's a red and the other is a yellow. The other drab looking gorgonians are doing great.

Thanks! I'll have to see where your area is. ;)
I think basically the brightly colored ones are non-photosynthetic and depend completely on feeding. They might benefit from some freeze dried cyclop-eeze and foods like that.

Santa was very good to me this year. I guess all my hard work as a teacher is being paid forward.

-TomTom GPS
-Asus Eee PC
-Leaf blower (woot, woot!)
-Various gift cards
-Various (tons) books, small items for the classroom

Atlast, no GCs for corals :( , but I'll live.

Now that's a cool gift that honestly has no limit to it! I'd say, my charter membership is worth thousands... and I said that before I ever became a Board member too. The only reason I'm on the Board is to give back to the club that has given so much.

[snfkotara]

Congrats on all the reef gifts I got a step ladder so I dont fall off the bucket I've been using to reach in the 100 gal. and he said I didn't want you to fall off and break your leg.

[Mr Cob]

That was sweet of your hubby Sherry.

[txg8gxp]

Sony XR200v HD1080i video camera, and a few bucks to order a MP10 vortech. Now I just have to learn how to upload video.

[Mrs. z28pwr]

Guess you haven't been as good all year as Mr z28pwr... ;)

Well Jose has been taking pictures all day soo it might have been something he needed also... hmmmm I fell for that one...:wink_smile:

[hobogato]

christy and i got each other a cannon hd video camera before Christmas for each other for Christmas - good for tank and kid videos :)

i have also been buying the tank Christmas presents for the last couple of months including a tunze wave box.

[Mrs. z28pwr]

Your corals will love that:)

[hobogato]

[Europhyllia]

I wish I hadn't seen that video of your wavebox. I will be checking craiglist for months to come...
(insert green with envy smilie)

[wesheltonj]

Well lets see. I bought myself the GHL P3 upgrade that arrived damaged. (My order was in the first shipment and the thing arrives broken, agh!)
I received a TomTom GPS, two bottles of wine, a battery op wine opener, La Coste dress shirt, some DVD's, a case for my Contour HD 1080p helmet cam and a bicycle monitor.

[justahobby]

For the tank I got a stylophora from Reef2u (early present), phosphate reactor, and an rodi (wooooot!!)

[corruption]

I got an Elos Phosphate test kit, another Vortech MP10, and a new table saw so I don't have to beg others to do acrylics for me anymore! :D
