@phyl - anytime!!! Dr. Mac and (becky?) were asking about you! Also RichT. anyways they wanted to extend their greetings! It's too bad you weren't there as I am positive your nikon and (more importantly) photo skills would have been far better for this thread!
@terri - thanks! but more...
Nice! thanks for sharing.
What is the photo with the fence and the two kids laying roses/carnations down? Obviously a memorial/tomb of some sort but wondering if you had more details?
On with the pics...Allquatics up next:
I took a zillion photos of their LED lights/fixtures at their request. I posted that in their forum.
Some drygoods:
@Olivier...we could have used your eagle eyed camera taking instead of my newbie attempts! Hope all is well with the kid(S) and everything!
@marc- i definitely met you at MACNA in AC but we didn't talk much. Then we met at MACNA in Orlando - but as i recall you were busy talking to Laura...
by the time I finally went "shopping" - jason fox already sold out on the rainbow (someone was asking him for one) and i'm fairly sure I didn't see the aquaman. I saw something called the "Grinch" that was similar (red of green) but I ended up not taking it. I was very tempted to - but I...

nice stuff everyone! who won the TV???!?!?!? or the ultracorals chalice???
@chris - the vendors were warned not to bring any wrasses as the club felt it more important that you make your mortgage payment. HAHAHA! ;)
I've been there. I went to pick up/buy some used equipment...lol. The guy who sold me the equipment used to be on the boards here but he works at Trop. I think he may still service the red bank tank. This was like 2 years ago though. The pump still works great (reeflo tarpon).
