The banquet was attended by myself, my girlfriend Gina, Nate and Brianna, Vince, Adam and Nicole. Well, I am proud to say that we were definitely the loudest and most innapropriate table at the banquet. It was quite the shock to see the motley crew all spiffed up. They clean up pretty good. Even Vince! They were even on good behaviort initially, but of course that didn't last too long.
The zoo acknowledged the contributions of So. Tier "Reefers" and awarded us with a certificate of appreciation. So a big thanx to all those that contributed time, input, critters, and labor over the course of the project:. Special thanks go to of course all those who attended as well as Paul (Fish1219) for putting the lighting together, DaveVG for his carpentry skills and the light pulley system and his drive and enthusiasm, Ryan M for his help with the initial planning and labor during the early phases of the project, St. James for his beautiful Naso Tang and corals, Razz for the crocea clam, JacksonPT for his corals, Stressed Damsel for his great help with the live rock manufacturing project and any others whom I may have forgotten.
Mike also indicated that a substantial amount of money has been approved for the seahorse tank, actually more than we probably need.
