Luckily a buddy grabbed me 2 boxes of Reef Crystals & 20 Mexican Turbo Snails for me in Edmonton. :biggrin:

picked up a bunch of replacement hardware(PH probe, refractometer, etc), salt, food, snails, shrimp... typical boxing day stuff. Then picked up a duncan coral for my wife, and a red planet frag for me... can't wait for this thing to grow, I can almost see it growing already if I look REALLY close. lol.

- Red/white coco worm
- 3" tuxedo urchin
- Bunch of hermits & peppermint shrimp
- 4" golden poci colony with its very own purple and orange poci/acro crab

6-12 mos worth of frozen food, seaweed

Hehe. I'm so glad you each have your own tank. A fish person and a coral person simply won't work in one tank:

Doug: "Damn it Laurie, you're poisoning my corals with all that fish food! It's a bloody nitrate factory!"

Laurie:[i] "If you had it your way Dougie Dear, I'd have only three skinny little fish in the tank!"

:lol:that makes two of us.....it was crazy busy most of the day

:lol:you nailed it man!......I told her I would HAVE to set up my own tank when I get there.....no ifs, ands, or buts about it:mrgreen:.....mind you my tank now has quite a few skinny fish in it

Pretty nice day today, A leopard wrasse, a watchman goby, a niger trigger afew additives and a nice day with my son, lunch at the Mongolie Grill, the fish are great but spending some dad/son time was really the best, He has his own life so when we get together without the spouses it is always a blast.:biggrin:

Worked at an LFS in Burnaby all day to help out my friend Robert and the boss, Ron. Ended up bagging most of the fish and corals I wanted for other people, but that just made it by far my least expensive Boxing Day in over a decade.

Picked up some nice corals beforehand (some from the LFS & some from local reefers), including a neon green Aussie favia, Aussie red brain, Med. Squamosa, Aussie gold wall anchor, huge green open brain and some nice frogspawn. So Boxing Day was cheap but the week before was not:redface:

GHL dosing pump. The best part was I didn't have to leave the house but now I have to find time to get to Red Coral to pick it up.

New mh bulbs and some filter socks have maxed out the last room on my cc. Hooefully there will be some salt sales locally in the new year as there wasnt any room for that.
