Road Trip

[Pico1]

Mark and I made a trip down to the bay area shops yesterday. We stopped at aquatic gallery, aquatic bliss, and atlantis. We scored some sweet rics, LPS, and SPS and I got some nice LR pieces for my new 90. I took some pics at Mark's house for him while I was there. He liked my camera so much he bought the newer model of it today. We also got some cool pics of aquatic gallery's display tanks.

Jordan and I had a great time and met some wonderful people. Tim came by and helped us qt and dip all the corals. I am still reaquascaping and making room for final placements. It was a blast Thanks Jordan and Tim for the good times.

What kind of camera do you have Jordan?

 

[Pico1]

I totally agree! Thanks again for the help Tim and thanks again for taking me Mark! I had a blast with you guys.

Xia, I have an olympus 720 SW. I believe Mark got the newer model, the olympus 770 SW. The new model has some more really cool features!

 

[xia]

I just got me a 720 too. I'm assuming all your pics were underwater except the ones at aquatic gallery. Or did they let you? Took a long look at the 770 but it was $120 more! Didn't think I'd ever use the extra features. Can't wait to try out the super macro mode.

 

[Pico1]

None were underwater actually. Can't stick my thumb in water... I've found you can get the best pics by setting it to underwater macro, super macro, no flash, and SHQ picture settings. I got those pics by pressing the camera against the glass to help with stability.

Jordan- Just to let you know. I am on my third thing of glue since last night. I am in the process of moving the red sag and the lime to make room for some more LE's.

 

[Pico1]

You know your a reefer when you go through 3 tubes of glue in 24hrs. and have to move a red stag and a lime in the sky to "make room".

 

[dots]

So what what did you guys get......and better yet what didn't they have that you wanted or wouldn't sell?

 

[mpoletti]

I did get the LE 500 efflo, australian invader and LE Bali tri, as well as a whole bunch of frags and mini colonies.

No...you know you are a reefer when you are driving on the freeway compareing trees to species of corals...

 

[Pico1]

...with you reefer buddy that you spent the day with to spend hundreds at LFS 100 miles away only to come home and stay up all night gluing frags...

 

[mpoletti]

Jordan, I know you have more shots than that.
