Hey Brian, It was nice talking to you again. The show was great, lots of brilliant corals on display. Hung out and grabbed Lunch with Bobby and Sara for a while. There were some great deals to be had. I got a Koralia Evo 750 for 35. I also picked up the Chong Bongs.

Some other stuff I got.

Raptors' Rainbows Pallys.
Regular Rainbow Pallys
Some sweet Deepwater Zoos
Candy Apple Reds
2 frags of Aussie Skittles Rainbow Acans
2 different types of Aussie Rainbow Acans
1 frag with 3 different types of Aussie Rainbow Acans,

The acans I plan on growing all together. To make a sweet rainbow colony.

It was great to watch the prices fall during the day. Unique Corals has a very sweet Red Fungia with yellow polka dots for $400 around 9 AM and by the time I left at 3:30, I could have taken it for 200. Some of the larger colonies could have been had at some very reasonable prices.

As Brian mentioned all the vendors were using the ACAN Lighting LEDS, which were really nice. The raffle prizes were insane, definitely A LOT of winners today. I was happy with my great deals on some rarer corals.

After I picked the 4, the guy shakes his head and said I just cherry picked the best ones he had there. Pretty funny, I'm sure he said that to all the buyers.

What about those "explosions" lol. I forgot what the first word was but the guy looked pretty serious when he told us.

Poor Sara, she ate an evil pretzel! Knew that food court looked questionable!

lol, yeah that was it.

Quotes of the Day...

asking the Puppy Center guy if he had any Cinnamon Polyps. There is a tank filled with a million different frags of reds, oranges, yellows, greens, blues and this guy wants brown button polyps. Of course the best was the response...the guy behind the tank said. "No, we try NOT to bring those to shows".

someone else --> while pointing at an Acan frag, with slightly above the actual frag, a little flag that said "Aussie Acan Frags $50". If that wasn't bad enough, he asked to know what the mother colony looked like. Of course the response again got me rolling. "Just like that only a lot bigger"

Just thought I'd share the highlights of my day...

If you went,you just saw gaping mouths with camera phones just dangling helplessly at the end of patrons arm.

Most people there could only do 2 things at once,Mentally counting the money in their wallets and keeping eyes focusing on fragments.

Good Times
