HMMMMMMMMMM, Let me think about that. .......................................no......... ............................ We have a deal, I don't ask what she spends on her trips out. I think it's a good thing I only have a small tank to fill. Imagine if I had your tank.

It fits at least 200 people

Why not see about doing it with them?

I got home @ 10:00 Pm last night with 3 jammed boxes of fish and corals for the 3 tanks. I would say that my eyes were much bigger than my tanks. Got last 2 paly frags from Grizz in my tank at 3:00AM. There was an amazing selection of corals to chose from, and I'm sure I looked like the proverbial kid in a candy store. (rather big kid mind you)
Was nice to meet everyone and can't wait until next year.

Thanks all.

It was great meeting you too

There was some salty stuff (frags, a few fish and equipment) at the auction in the spring. Yes most of it was freshwater, but there was some marine.

Good point I have mentioned this several times, the Aquarium club of Edmonton has monthly meetings and news letters. They have 2 auctions a year, and occasionally a show.
Anyone can attend the meetings and auctions and for the low price of $25 per year you can become a member. Members receive the monthly news letters and are able to bring items to be sold at the auction. Some of the local stores also give aquarium club members nice discounts.
If more "reefers" became involved there would be more items of interest in the auction and maybe some more stores would start giving a discount to members.

I'm kida still connected with ACE, I'll see what I can do. I actually own the website they run.

Maybe we can do an Auction of our own in the future, just need a decent venue (hey Lenny, can I use your party room?)

I know they do them a lot in the USA, as I was at a few in the oast.

I will certainly be interested in attending.
