Eric Borneman speaking in Seattle

[sumpfinfishe]

ME too please- Yes! it was a really great trip

I was able to show off my tank for starters-that's always a great way to start the day!

Then off to Seattle, first stop was at Chuck's house, where his amazing acropora garden is just thriving with life. His tank looks like a slice right out of the sea. I think that he could have no problem charging an entrance fee for viewers In my next setup I will try to duplicate his wonderful reef :!:

After Chuck's house, on to Paul's house to see his reef. It is a great tank with some amazing rock formations. He also had a beautiful Rose Anenome which he sold prior to our arrival So add me to your list Paul , as Sam's list here is far to long.

The meeting was really great :!: Eric was super friendly and talked with everyone. His presentation on color of corals was very interesting.The Q & A period was also very informative and everyone was able to get in at least one :?: My book was also signed

I talked with Eric after as well as before the meeting and he really liked some of my pics, so he told me that he wants to use one in his next book- :shock: that would be really 8) You should have been there Sam, he would have be blown away by some of your beautiful images :!:

I also picked up a SCWD wavemaker from Blue Sierra which I took a few snaps of and started a post yesterday. I have to say a BIG THANKS! to Jonas(manager)) for not only having the meeting at his wonderful store, but also for taking lot's of time on an already hecktic day to bring me up to speed on wavemakers

It was a a really great day. Spending time with fellow reefers Christy, Deb, and Adam was also very enjoyable Another BIG THANKS to Christy for driving down :!: The only complaint I have, was there was just not enough time in the day to see and do all that was planned. Maybe we will have to plan an overnighter in the future
