[spslover]

I wanted to ask if anyone had any extra frag disc they can bring... Please

[fishman]

[spslover]

I like the round ones. It's why I'm asking. I am willing to pay never thought of it as free.

[bigronbo]

[Narazbad]

Great meeting as always guys, now just put that presentation up on here so I can use it as a cheat sheet next time I gotta buy stuff! :D

[tomgl]

Great lecture Mike. We enjoyed seeing everyone also.

[iap]

Yea thanks mike. I'm gonna try to find a fighting conch or two now.

[tomgl]

BTR gets them in sometimes.

[iap]

Thanks Tom. Will have to give Dave a call before I make the drive out there.

[Ghetto Reefer]

thanks mike. learned alot and the raffle was great to. kinda funny how iap wins so much lol. also it was great to see everyone

[Narazbad]

Ron pulled out with a lot as well! As always. Let us know if you find any of those conches!

[bigronbo]

Yes great meeting i got some nice stuff on the raffle also:) great stuff for a 20.00 ticket purchase. Thanks everyone for the cool stuff. Blue recordia, nice lether mike it looks cool and hope it does good. nice hammer head frog spawns, waiting to see how big the 2 new hairy mushrooms get. really filling out my voids. i still have purple mushrooms and a couple small frags of star polips if there is any interest in buying cheap or trade for nice red or purple item. I'd like the slide show up so i know what to get or not get. hoping the crab don't eat something too soon. It is great to have so many cool and helpful people to talk with for information advice and buying/trading cool frags. can't wait till i can afford to get lee to build me my tank.

[Narazbad]

I'm curious how that leather does, Ron, keep me informed. I still want a piece of it! :D

[bigronbo]

i hope it does good. i'm not sure how fast they grow. i know the really hard ones would need a time laps camera on them for months to see a real change:) but then again if everything grew as fast as xenia we would need much bigger tanks:)

[Narazbad]

And wouldn't be so worried about the state of the worlds reef systems, either..

[74TE28]

It was nice meeting some of the forum members today and thanks for the informative slide show. I look forward to coming to the next one with some frags of my own for trading.

[bigronbo]

that is such an awesome tank. Is that the leather in the top center?

[bigronbo]

what is the bright blue thing behind the blue tang?

[TheGreatAukSociety]

Thanks BR

Yup the Leather is right smack in the middle squished between the other corals.

The other one is the Blue Chalice.

[bigronbo]

man i should have got that too lol looks really bright in your tank.

[bigronbo]

you sure we are looking at the same thing? the bright blue looks like robin eggs

[TheGreatAukSociety]

Oh, that is a super duper rare type of Goniopora with small polyps.

[bigronbo]

sure is bright. like i said you have me green with envy with such a beautiful tank. i will be happy when i get my new tank and watch all this stuff grow.
