Well a box from BRS showed up at my door today, but I don't remember ordering anything recently.....

I'm thinking this must be the work of the Big Guy himself lol!

Thank you Santa, I very much appreciate it!!!!

Only thing is, I don't want to open it yet, it's too early lol! We don't even have a tree up yet!

Am I the first to get my gift?

Holy cats, what did Santa do???

This is insane, just above and beyond anything I was expecting! @Crabs McJones did you have something to do with this? I thought maybe you had a used light you didn’t need any more, and I would have been thrilled with that lol! But thank you for your generosity!!! I’m blown away for sure. I’d like to send you something in return, this is just too much to accept.

This makes the couple of filter socks and can of flaked my recipient got look like cat food lol!

Thank you so much Santa!

Got my gift early but didn't get a chance to post until just now. My secret Santa picked the perfect gift, exactly what I needed!! We have moved twice this year and I had just finished setting up my tank when my gift came. I was missing my old school magnetic frag rock that one of the guys on here used to make. While I can no longer find those, my secret Santa sent me the Reefing Art version and it's pretty awesome! Thanks so much @CrashTestBennie!! Absolutely perfect timing!! I lost most of my coral during the move, so I'm hoping to fill this in with zoas!

Nice work, Santa! (aka @CrashTestBennie!)

Sorry to hear about your difficulties, but glad to hear that you're getting back on track

Buc-ee's is the best! Haha, figured those overbites might curb your sweet tooth. The fossils are from some of my digs in Peace River when I lived in FL. I'm sure you probably recognize them, but in case you don't, there's a horse tooth, gator scute and what I believe is a great white, but I couldn't tell with the serrations. Also, wasn't sure if that Inkbird was the correct one. It says 'reptile' and I don't know them well enough to know if it matters lol, so please let me know if it's wrong and I'll take care of it! Merry Christmas!!!
