Thanks to my awesome secret Santa, JD! Everything was so thoughtful and awesome! He read through my last posts and picked out some items I’ve mentioned- total surprise. He even got some treats for the birds :). Thank you so much! Already have the webcam installed on the tank.

The entire haul. Can’t wait to get an encrusting coral for that rock. Wyze webcam, 20mL syringe, acrylic rod, Polyplap coral view lens, and treats for the birds.

I got one of my Secret Santa gifts today! I know i said I would wait, but I had to open at least one. :D
Its really funny cause yesterday was Friday the 13th and my gift that I needed for making fish food shows up!

Yes a big ole cleaver! ;Joyful for chopping up frozen fish of course! Plus its made by a company called dexter (great blades), but my wife and I binge watched the show Dexter so that was the first thing she said was DEXTER! I couldn't be happier with my gift! My wife is really happy I won't be using her kitchen knives for fish food!

Thank you so much Secret Santa!
P.S.
I know who my SS is and he's AWESOME!

Going thru this thread every day has made my holidays more enjoyable than I ever imagined it would! Incredible to see all the selflessness, and joy from complete strangers. It’s nice to know there is good in the world. I love this place!

i feel the same way. It is better to give than receive...but it's fun getting also.

You guys!!!! I got my SS Gift today!! Thank You so much "Camron" for all the goodies! I opened it with my wife as I had never done Secret Santa and wanted to share the excitement! Thank you so much for all the gifts, I will use all of them! The journal is just in time as I will use every page as I track all the fish coming in and out of the FisHotel! Candy is a no brainier so that always the correct answer and the Garlic Guard I suppose for the fish! Haha!! We all got great treats!

Thanks! Haha kinda stands out on a reef forum.

Thank you! I have eleven total. I actually lead a nonprofit parrot rescue here in Pittsburgh. I’m a foster failure, especially with the African Grey's, haha. Love the cockatiels. We have several senior ‘tiels at the rescue right now. One is over 30 years old!
