Just wanted to say myself (Brandon) and OceansParadise (Josh) had a great time over the weekend. Met alot of cool people and bought alot of great frags. Even managed to sell some as well. Definately worth the drive for us. We're on our way back now about 4 hours down another 8 to go! Then we get to spend a couple hours acclimating everything.

What a great event. Everyone was talking about how good the hands on workshops were. I hit the reef ball and surge and was delighted with them. Steve Pro's talk on what can hurt you in the tank is going to change how I handle zoos and Palys. I am going to buy a face shield.

You folks did an outstanding job. Thanks

I just got home ten minutes ago so I need to go acclimate some corals....so many interesting frags. Wonderful variety of vendors, just nice people.
Thanks go all - can't wait for next year.

Were you the winner of that sweet new tank?

Another 4hrs of driving and we'll be home.

Yes I was and the CaribSea Tank set up which was even more timely for me since I am setting up a new tank next weekend.

The tank I won is now the property of another BNARC member since I am taking possesion of a 300 gallon next weekend. I think I gave Ducky a great deal so I think they are happy and it helped get a litttle of the money back from the 650 tickets I bought.
I had a great time - winning and hope the tickets I bought will help the club be able to do this again next year.

hello everyone!
i wanted to give a BIG THANKS to the Rockford Reefers for putting on this event. It was a great time, got to put some faces to names and meet some new fellow aquarium nuts.

Granite attendance was substantially less than the previous year, but still; a fantastic list of demonstrations, shows, vendors and fraggers!!

Again thanks to all that took the time to get this together, i know its alot of work.

cheers,
Rich K (aka Racenrich)

Rob, I sent a PM on the CaribSea Complete Tank SetUP shipping instructions. I am so excited to have this available. Thanks to the entire club for all your work and for making the wonderful raffle prizes available. The workshops were wonderful. I learned so much and enjoyed the hands on activities.

Thanks for all your help Carl,

Good luck getting the new tank setup. We will have to have a club trip down there once you get the tank setup

Rob I found a calculator on the CaribSea site on how to calculate the substrate I need and sent you a PM with the updated amounts. Thanks so much for the time and work you put in to make this possible.
Everyone I have met in the club has been great....even Santa Clause and if he wants to debate if he is nice or not...I will win that he and his wife are both very very nice.
