Fresh water tanks are BORING.

 

[IDrawFish]

Clearly you've never kept a planted tank before... almost as fun as reefs

 

[muppet]

And tofurkey is just like the real thing.

 

[IDrawFish]

Can't say as I've tried your tofurkey but you should give planted tanks a try... they're like crack, have you addicted in no time. But you know how easy that is already, you're a reefaholic. We all are. We even have meetings ;-p

I've gone the past 3 years. Its been a lot of fun, although I've only gone for the last day generally. Mostly for the auction but I've hit up a few lectures as well. I had a number of FW tanks running at the time so it was a great opportunity to pick up some unique/interesting stock from the vendors and the auction, as well as meet up with some local and not-so-local friends in the hobby. It is mostly FW stuff though, and since I no longer have any FW tanks, I probably won't go since if I do I would most likely end up buying something and setting one up.

 

[IDrawFish]

Lol, yeah that's why I stay away from reptile shows despite still having a lot of friends and connections in the hobby... I don't need anymore tanks

If u haven't kept one, you really wouldn't know... however I'm strictly refer madness lol
