So what did you get from the BA-CFM ?

I got strawberry patch monti, red ink selago, some crazy blue acro from Matt, multi color red milli from Ming (possible raspberry), and a Lime In the Sky that was dead when I got it home.
 
I got Rouge Milli, Scripp Milli and Rose Milli. I also got 2 diff favia and one of them suppose to be the future LE. However, the actual highlight for me is actually I got a bunch of articpod from Gresham/Reef Nutrition to cover my need for 2 months. My fish and some of my LPS love it. Luckily, my wife did not say anything when the articpod took some of the space in her refrigerator

Lime In the Sky that was dead when I got it home.

Ouch, that hurts.

I was way bad at the market...way bad :)
setosa, dual blue echinata, Jayda's watermelon, rouge milli, true undata, sunburst favia, green/purple favia, hugo chalice, baby's breath favia, green/orange mouth chalice.

It was fun, now I have to sell some frags to make up for all that I bought.
 
Looks like everyone got some really nice stuff. It was a very worthwhile event, and was glad I got to see all the Usual Suspects again:)

Sorry to hear that. My acroberry was RTN'ing literally at BACFM by mid-afternoon. It was a goner by the time I got home:( One of my chalices looks to be a goner, too:( :(
 
I had a really good time. I got some really nice pieces as well. That sick purple monti with yellow polps from Eric, war coral, rouge milli, rainbow from steve, jayda from greg, and few others as well.

Karl, Sorry to hear about your chalice. Which one was it? PM me. Thanks for the Candlelight.

Tuberider- Sorry about your lime.

Wow, sorry to hear about the losses. This was my first one and needless to say I need a larger tank.

Just picked up a pokerstar monti, a micro, and an acan lord. Here they are shortly after being dropped into the tank.

WoW... I did see that unknown acro.That's nice...

I got one also. Lets keep in touch to see how they react in different systems.
 
Hey Eric,
You need to teach us how to take a better shots of macro,
can you kindly provide some details of each pics, what kind of camera and macro lens, any remote flash light.
Those pics are awesome.

wow, lotsa cool stuff. This was my 1st famers market and I really liked it- it was easy to see all the corals on display and decide what you wanted to buy from whom. I came away with about 10 corals including; neon toadstool, 2 zoas, fluffy clove polyps, purple tort, yellow acropora, mushrooms, bicolor candy cane. Damn, my 180 is filling up fast! :D
 
Yes, I went too. I am glad I decided to go.

I picked up about 12 acros, all different kinds, so far my fav is the green BN and the bali slimer, a couple zoa frags and 1 shroom. And i got an orange cap from the raffle.

and i bought some 'coral' food from the booth, some artic pods; WOW polyp extension was amazing after one time! I will continue to feed it.

and I got a kitkat from BAR! =)

Thanks for the kind words, Spencer.

They're not too hard to take a picture of. These are just some side shots of the corals w/the camera on a tripod with no flashes or anything. Tank is too small to fit a photo box in, which isn't really needed.

I usually take like a few shots just to peg down white balance and then spend the next few minutes just moving back and forth snapping them away. Literally takes about 10 minutes to do all the above. I like to keep things simple. :)

For me I would change that to "... I need a better paying job" don't get me wrong I could have easily gone crazy there without any financial heart aches but man, if those SOBs would only hire me full time my salary would increase by a factor of 4 with not much additional work.

Cool Mike. I am taking some pics tonight . I placed mine half way up under my center brace.
 
Looks like the best deals came late in the day. I like the way AWExotics did a raffle for their customers. I brought late so missed it.Lots of LE and uncommon. The owner was a nice guy and I 'll be check them out again. :)
 
Yeah, AWExotics had some very nice stuff. If you stuck around at the end, he was taking offers for the leftovers so that he wouldn't have to pack it away. He was accepting $100 offers for the ORA Oregon tort that was being released for the first time when I left.

I would have jumped on it, but am out of space at the moment. I brought enough to buy plenty of frags, but having no space to house them left me with plenty of change.
