[jbb]

 

It's that time of year again to share some holiday joy with all of your friends here @ Nano-Reef.com!

 

 

 

 

 

The rules are pretty simple:

• You must have been a member here for 6 months from entry deadline so (May 1, 2018) with at least 100 posts.
• Total value of gift/gifts must be between $20 to $30. Gifts are not required to all be reef related. Adding some creativity to the gift makes it a lot of fun. If you really want to spend/give more that is fine, but understand that you may not get the same in return.
• You must enter by Tesday November 20th. I will close entries around noon that day.
• Names will be handed out Wednesday November 21st.
• Gifts must be sent to your partner by Tuesday December 11th.
• Sorry, but this is only open to U.S. members in lower 48 states this year.

 

How to enter:

• Please Private Message me for entry, and make a post in this thread. Items I will need from you are: Name, Address, Email.
• Keep all communication with me to one single PM discussion throughout the event. I end up getting messages from about 60 or so members, so this will help keep things organized.
• Once your gift is shipped, please send confirmation to me. Failure to do so will disqualify you from the door prize drawings.
• Once your wishlist is posted, please send me a link to that post.

 

 

Please keep your tank threads up to date with items you want or need, or you can post them in this thread. Your Secret Santa will be watching!
 

A list of user names will be posted as people join. PM me your full name, link to wish list, and shipping address if you wish to participate.

As wishlists are recieved, I will link the post to the persons name. If your name is NOT a clickable link in the list, then I do NOT have your wishlist.

[spectra]

Wonder how many depends fit in a box...........and yes they will be soiled

 

 

Ok so I guess we need a list hell surprise me I guess..........or I like beer...........could use flipper refills nano size..........nano packs of whatever goes in the back chamber am having a brain fart Bella would love a few dog snacks or beer she loves everything hell I just do this for fun so like I said I am not picky if I dont like it I can just re gift it next year sorry had to.........anyway think outside the box any cool gadgets you like or think are neat......ok enough rambling............

[A Little Blue]

I’m IN as well. 

If you can’t afford new Kessils360X,

 

(Wish list)

•iodine or strontium test kit would do.

• or Elos KH test kit. Running low on that. 

•or any coral food other than ReefRoids (Reef Chili for example). 

• need to address my little flat worm issue in the frag tank so flatworm exit is also great as I don’t have time to chase those ####ers with a syringe every freakn day. 

( and please..... I don’t need any more junk selfies for my wallpaper) 

 

If you can’t afford any of that, any unwanted pests plaguing your tank will have to suffice (except flatworms, monti nudis, aiptasia)bb

"out of the country" = jail or rehab.
