So true! I could of bought a sony 46" LCD flat screen tv for $100 less then what I paid for all my salt

Other than TVs this year was really weak for boxing day sales. I got way more and better electronics in the month leading up to Christmas and there were no lineups. A few places in Canada had Black Friday deals which was awesome because the prices were good but there was no rush to deal with. I spent $300 @ J&L and $25 for a new mouthguard for hockey, that was the extent of boxing day, haha.

Personally it feels like true "boxing day" disappeared along with A&B Sound.

I managed to pick up an 8" squamosa today on a Boxing Week sale. It is covered in purple mushrooms and green paly's. I was't planning on getting another clam, but just couldn't resist.

Well - I spent a few bucks this year....

Got 6 new Giesemann T5's, some additives and supplements and yup, some livestock too.
I'll switch to pictorial view for the livestock:

New arrivals include the Sarcophyton, Favites and the declivis:


Well....Ok, the sun coral and little red star I acutally got a couple of weeks earlier but I thought I'd share anyhow


and another one of the declivis, just cause I love him so much


Sorry the pics are not the greatest...learning how to take aquarium photos is just one more challenge I'm working on

Cheers
PatD

*gasp* !! Tres cool!!!!

Where did you score that little piece of awesomeness?

I love declivis (I'm a total butterfly nut really, but these are in my "top 5" if not "top 3").

I'll take one after the weekend as the mushrooms are still trying to get used to the LED's.
