are you bringing any frags Albert ? I might make the trip since our local reef swap got canceled !

Nope, only bringing my charm and good looks.

Full disclosure though, I work with 19 Islands.

If you come up, stay afterward for beers man!

Where in Edmonton is this happening? Is the location the one off of gateway and 30 Ave?

Same as last year Marine Aquaria.

Did they change their name?

Yes :)

I haven't been out to Edmonton in awhile. Maybe I should go for a drive.

Lots of top notch SPS available? I'd never get there before 2 pm though - all the good stuff will be gone!

New owners?

Owners are still the same.

Company was rebranded with expanded operations from what I understand.

SPS is such a waste of time lol...

But I'm sure someone will bring something.

SPS is the ONLY kind of coral! All that other stuff is just flubber!

Don't make me pull out my pitchfork...

But in all seriousness, there will be free food, who needs SPS? #amirite #truth

The other 18 islands were taken.

BUMP - Saturday is coming up soon :D

All in all, we had five vendors including 19 Islands, prizes from sponsors (Thank you Distribupet, Hagen, Marine Experience, Oceanview Enterprises, and Xenia!), awesome pizza and tons of fun. Estimated attendance was around the 200+ person mark. Can't wait for the next one!
