Charles Delbeek at Big Al's Coquitlam

Yeh Christy, I thought someone might have spiked your beer when you started dancing on the table. I suppose you don't remember that though?

I enjoyed Charles talk very much. It was interesting to see how the Waikiki has progressed. Also interesting to see Charles lift a 167lb Gigas into a tank.

There was some very interesting video footage of the Fiji reefs. I even got to see my Fiji supplier in the video. It was sad though to see the devestation caused by the bleaching events.

The Japanese aquariums were impressive too. I have never seen a Whale Shark in captivity, let alone three in one tank. It was amazing!!!!!

The video of one of the Japanese reef stores was amazing too. I saw coral there that would blow your mind. It was at least 5 times as expensive as here. The old adage applies. "You get what you pay for". If your going to be a cheapskate and only want to pay 30$ for coral you will never see corals like the ones in Japan.

Yup those meatballs were spicy!!!!! and that was the best fruit juice I have had in a long time.

A most enjoyeable evening. Hats off to Grant and staff!!!!
