SECRET SANTA 2022 is LIVE!!! Register HERE!!

[jasina1]

Ho! Ho! Ho!! Thank you all for your patience while we worked out the details, but without further adieu...

Let's get this party started!! It's our 2022 Secret Santa for Reef2Reef!!

This is going to be a great time to spread Christmas joy!!

We're getting a bit of a late start this year, but we're still going to have a blast spreading Christmas cheer!!!

NOTE: To those who have been part of our Secret Santa before, this one will be slightly different. I promise there are some good reasons for the changes, and we hope they will lead to a better experience over all.

Here is how it will work:

• Requirements to participate:
  • At least 18 years of age (only exceptions to this will be participants who have been part of our Secret Santa before)
  • At least 14 days as a member of R2R
  • At least 10 posts on R2R
• Gift requirement: AT LEAST $25 value and a splash of Christmas joy! (Suggested gift range is $25-$50. More on this below.)
• As you sign up, you'll get a link to the gift exchange on Elfster (it's the Secret Santa exchange website/app that we use to organize the gift exchange) where you'll need to register so that we can easily match you with your Secret Santa.*
• The first matchup will take place on November 24th so that all of you eager Secret Santas can take advantage of Black Friday shopping. After this, matches will happen weekly through December 10th.
• Sign up will be open until December 10, 2022
• Buy or make gifts and ship them by December 17, 2022.
• Delivery tracking is mandatory and will need to be sent to @Santa Claus and/or updated in Elfster.
• International Participation: This year's Secret Santa will have 2 groups for those outside the US: 1) Canadian participants, 2) other international participants. While we wish that we had enough international participation to allow all participants to only send to members within their own country, that simply isn't feasible, so please be aware of the possibility that you may need to ship internationally to participate outside the US or Canada.

Here are a few guidelines for this year:

1. Please, PLEASE, be sure your R2R username is entered on your Elfster profile as your nickname. This really does help your Secret Santa to find you on Reef2Reef and get better gift giving ideas.
2. This is an event that is meant to spread Christmas joy, so we're asking all participants to try to make this special for whoever you receive. While we realize that this may look different for everyone, we're asking participants to avoid sending $25 e-gift cards as your only gift. Suggested gift range is $25-$50. You may give more, but be aware that you may not receive more than this amount.
3. All participants MUST make a post or send a message acknowledging their gift and thanking whoever their Secret Santa is. Most of you do this anyway, so I don't think it's a problem to ask. However, due to some situations we've run into before, we're making this a requirement. We'll start a Thank You thread specifically for this and link it here.
4. About Elfster wishlists: We're getting away from using these this year. Instead, we're asking each participant to make a more detailed profile and asking each Secret Santa to get a gift based on that profile. Our hope is that this will take some of the focus off of receiving and refocus us on giving and why we do this to begin with. We realize some of you may still enjoy making wish lists, and we're fine with you doing that, but know that your Secret Santa is being encouraged not to really look at that for gift giving this year.
5. Your gift MUST be sent by December 17th. Now, we realize things can happen, and we're always willing to work with participants. However, if your gift has not been shipped and confirmation/tracking info sent to Santa by the deadline, you may be banned from participating in future Secret Santa exchanges on Reef2Reef.
6. Failure to abide by these guidelines may result in not being allowed future participation in Secret Santa gift exchanges. (We're really not expecting to remove anyone, but we do reserve the right to do so if a participant does not engage in the spirit of this gift exchange.)

All R2R Secret Santa participants will receive a special Secret Santa banner under their username.

To sign up, you will need to do these 2 things (PLEASE DO BOTH):

1. PM @Santa Claus with your contact information (name, email, and country you're located in so that we can PM you the link to sign up on Elfster and join the gift exchange).
2. Post in this thread with your answers to the questionnaire (see below) IN THIS THREAD (this is our official registration thread).

Secret Santa Questionnaire:

1. What country are you located in?
2. What is one thing you always need more of?
3. What do you like to do on the weekends?
4. What are your other hobbies/interests?
5. How do you relax after a long day at work?
6. Do you collect anything?
7. What is your favorite color?
8. What is one TV show or movie you can watch over and over again?
9. What type of music do you listen to?
10. Do you follow any sports teams?
11. What's your favorite fish?
12. Favorite coral?
13. Favorite invert?
14. Tell us about your tank(s)! What size are they? What do you keep in them? Do you have a build thread?
15. Do you have any planned upgrades or hopeful future tweaks to your tank(s)?
16. What's your favorite thing to watch in your tank?
17. Are there any parts of the reef hobby you get really excited over?
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.)
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*
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.)

At this time, we are unable to guarantee matching users based on a preference for shipping coral. If shipping coral we ask that you notify @Santa Claus via PM when you would like 2 ship so we can notify recipient and make sure they will be able to receive it. If recipient can't be there we will ask them for 2 other days and work out with sender. (We don't mind playing the go between here to keep it more a secret.)

Also, notice that we have a special Secret Santa forum going on! Feel free to start other threads in here to talk about everything Secret Santa related, holiday related, or just anything you want to talk with all of us other SS peeps!

#R2RSecretSanta

So excited

 

[Cthulukelele]

Excited to give this another shot after a year off!


What country are you located in?
North Carolina USA

What is one thing you always need more of?
Reef Crystals, frozen fish food (rods/lrs nano)

What do you like to do on the weekends?
Film festivals, D&D, horror conventions, hiking, general adventuring

What are your other hobbies/interests?
Horror, comedy, general nerdy events

How do you relax after a long day at work?
Honestly either staring at/fiddling with the tank, playing Crusader Kings III, and watching YouTube content/wrestling/netflix

Do you collect anything?
My girlfriend collects rocks, so if you have cool rocks that would be dope. I also collect weird kitschy collectibles from strange destinations. Some examples: a mothman Christmas ornament, a clay cast replica of Audrey II from little shop of horrors, etc!

What is your favorite color?
Purple!

What is one TV show or movie you can watch over and over again?
I really really like Shane and Ryan from Watcher/Buzzfeed unsolved. My favorite movie is Sleepaway Camp.

What type of music do you listen to?
Punk, hyperpop, hip-hop, bluegrass--honestly most things

Do you follow any sports teams?
Nope

What's your favorite fish?
That I have currently? My yellow watchman goby. Of all time? Puffers have my heart but too nibbly for my reef

Favorite coral?
I have a soft spot for rhodactis mushrooms and euphyllia. I also loveeeeee anemones and elegance

Favorite invert?
Skunk cleaner probably. I also love love love urchins.

Tell us about your tank(s)! What size are they? What do you keep in them? Do you have a build thread?
I have a 120 gallon with 35 gallon sump started August of 2018. Current stock is after an outage related crash a year ago sadface. Yellow watchman with tiger pistol, talbots damsel, tomini tang, clownfish pair (one black one standard), lawnmower blenny, and blue line flasher wrasse. For invers, skunk cleaner, fire shrimp, pincushion urchin, tiger conch, emerald crabs, various snails and hermits. For coral I'm just getting back in after recovering from crash. Yellow watchman and my massive 18" toadstool coral are the only original inhabitants. I also have a few rhodactis, zoas, a bubble tip anemone, and some discosoma.

Do you have any planned upgrades or hopeful future tweaks to your tank(s)?
I plan to add a few more fish and a LOT more coral! No new system though. Maybe an externally plumbed in fuge?

What's your favorite thing to watch in your tank?
I always find myself staring at my tomini tang or my talbots damsel. The talbots loves to back up like a bus into the rockwork mimicking its reef behavior. The tang is constantly algae hunting and swooping through rockwork.

Are there any parts of the reef hobby you get really excited over?
I geek out over commensalism/wild reef dwelling behavior. Seeing clownfish hosting or pistol shrimp with gobies or damsels backing into their "reef" makes my heart full.

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.)
Anything horror, the fish I'm waiting to add (from a reputable vendor), aquarium supplies, d&d stuff, little things that have made your reefing experience easier, easy colorful mushroom coral or euphyllia/elegance, horror art and/or your favorite local artists' work, really cool rocks for my girlfriend, whatever you get from my vibes on this post

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*
Yes, if you have experience with and are comfortable with the vendor and their quality. For fish, on the "to add" list are a pajama cardinal, a royal gramma, and a biota captive bred mandarin. For inverts, a halloween urchin or a tuxedo urchin. For coral I love mainly euphyllia, elegance, mushrooms. For nems I'd love maxi min carpets, rock flower nems, or crazy bubble tip color morphs.

Thanks and honestly whatever I get would be appreciated!

As a heads up I went ahead and added the tuxedo, pajama, and royal gramma so no longer on the to add list!
