It’s Christmas party time, starring @HarryPotter cutting board! I’m sure the party will be great, but I plan on winning this bet with George T. Stagg that I won’t remember this boujie shindig...

@Lula_Mae!!

 

My gift arrived today!! I was doubly excited to see it was from you, since you did such a great job last year!

 

The onesie is so cute! The treats are perfect - I'm pretty sure Toasty sensed there was something in the box for him... Thank you so much! You are an awesome secret santa!!

Yayyyy!!! I'm glad it got there safely, and shockingly a day early lol.  I had the hardest time picking a set of those notecards because they were all so nice!  I hope you get to enjoy them all for a long while. :happy:

 

And thanks for the sympathy, I took the car in to finish the repairs today and get the tires aligned (alignment machine was broken) and it's another $200!!!  Apparently the alignment is not included with purchase of tires and I didn't pay for the mirror last week.  Sigh.  Oh well, at least they knocked off half the cost of the alignment for me. :closedeyes:

 

Your pics reminded me I never posted pictures of mine, so I'm gonna see if I can get the phone to cooperate so I can share!

 

P.S. Toasty is so cute!:wub:

tl;dr Phone didn't cooperate and uploading to the computer took so long I forgot about it lol.  Anyway, here's pics!

 

I opened the Mysterious Package and the first thing I saw was...

Artwork!  Wait, is that...that's Merlin!!!!  And look, it's the walking dendro!!!!  And his little peanut worm friend!!! OH MY GOSH IT'S MY TANK!!!!!  (I love this, by the way, and am saving it to put on the wall eventually!)

 

Aw, look, it's a turtle!!!!

After digging down to the bottom I found this:

Still alive, yay!!!

 

Here it is in the tank (the bright green nub on the right):

So many great things!  Thank you so much, @Tamberav!  The frag rack is already in the tank and holding things, and I look forward to using the gel to glue some stuff down (and Chemipure is always useful)!  And I'm really stoked about the frag, I've wanted one for ages! :wub:

Glad you liked it 🙂 My husband made fun of me! ha! I had to listen to a boring lecture and did this during the lecture which made it enjoyable. 

 

The nepthea should come around, they can look pissed off for a long time. I didn't expect it to be in the mail 5 days.

Ha! Ya the temps are not horrible but not great either. I did pack it well though and added a 72 hour heat pack. I am glad I sprung for the long lasting heat pack. 

 

To be fair...that coral is from my first tank and has been with me over 10 years which means it has outlived every other thing...through crashes and tank moves and neglect. Not even my Kenya tree or mushrooms made it through a soft coral chemical war crash. At this point it is used to abuse. 😛

Haha you can tell him the recipient liked it and that's what matters! I noticed last night the nepthea already looked a little perkier than it had. Just need to tie it to some rubble or something so it stops floating around so much.

Yeah, I'm impressed lol. I dipped it in Lugol's and popped it in my pico.  It's actually starting to perk up now, I think!
