So, what did everyone score on Boxing Day?

[intarsiabox]

Salt, skimmer and substrate for my new tank. Sadly I had to miss out on a lot of really good deals on livestock as they wouldn't live very long in my waterless tank.

[Seamazter]

I got wet hands and salt stained sleeves.

[MKLKT]

- 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

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.

Got a MP40W es for Xmas!!!!!
The I lucked out at Red Coral Edm for the door-crasher of another MP40W es!!!!! (thanks, Steve, I NEVER was fast enough for these great deals in the past!)
A mystery wrasse and SPS frags, and new anemone I am trying to grow out for my clowns (to replace the gigantic condy that they have right now).
Lots of salt from Blue World (plus assorted pre-christmas sale to beat the crowd).
Another batch of salt for an out-of-town friend...man, he'd better have gotten us some awesome corals in Calgary!

WOW. A great Christmas.

Boxes of salt, vertex in250 skimmer, frags, and LEDs for refugium.

[BMW Rider]

Didn't have time to get into the store, but managed to catch the online deal for a Vertex illumina 260 36" LED light unit from Red Coral Online.

Watch for my MH/VHO light setup in the ads soon

So true!

You didn't have to tell me, I know I can't keep coral alive (because of overfeeding and highish nitrates and nippy angels) so there's no way I want to be responsible for your corals. Much easier for you to have your own tank

I got 12 boxes of IO salt, easyblade replacement blades, Rio nano skimmer filters, and some fish.

Got up really early to be the first to get a bluespot jawfish (which I did make it there before anyone else) but unfortunately none of them looked very good so I passed and I got a yasha goby pistol shrimp pair instead.

They also had a gorgeous line spot flasher wrasse that took major will power to pass up. I passed because my mystery wrasse would most likely chase it out of the tank


Also got a super fat Caribbean pipefish and a freckled hawkfish. I'll post pic's
of the yasha and the pipefish in the 34g tank journal right away and when I get a pic of Mr. freckles (he's in the fowlr) I'll post a pic of him.
