Great get together

[BCOrchidGuy]

Thanks to Shao and to Jack for having us over to their homes. Both you guys have amazing tanks. To bad Shao was feeling under the weather.
I'd like to say thanks also to everyone who brought frags (specially for me). It was nice to see the Island folks over too, I think a good time was had by all... oh yeah.. good pizza too.

[sumpfinfishe]

Yeah guy's a big thanks for letting us into your homes to view your wonderful tanks :biggrin:

It's gonna be a sad sad day when I hear your tearing down that tank Shao :frown:

Thanks for the frag's Brad, Jesse, and Shao :exclaim:

Jack, I think your setup is also great, with a few more fuzzy sticks it will be prime-nice flow :exclaim:

Also a big thanks to my smashing co-pilot for putting up with my bad flying skills :mrgreen:

And the man out East who know's who he is :biggrin:

Sorry Deb, my co pilot lost the flight codes for Calgary
-must have been the impaired while flying thing :wink:

Ya, nice turnout. Unfortunate that I was only there long enough to actually meet a couple of ya. I'm sure that will be rectified in the spring :smile: .

Thanks for the trade Christy :biggrin: . Should have 4 or 5 more for spring.


Thanks again all,


Jeff

Hey Shao, Was good to see you again. It's been awhile. Your tanks looking great. Thanks for welcoming us into your place. Hope your feeling better today.

It was nice to get out and visit. To bad I never got to meet more of you. But everyone was too busy googling over Shao's tank. :biggrin:

[christyf5]

Just thought I'd post some pics of the big event :mrgreen:


We had a pretty good turnout this round. Lots of new faces and a few I haven't seen since I got into this mess :wink:

Wow, that's white sand... wow.. how does he do that Chrisy?

Doug

[christyf5]

I know, I asked that too. Then I got several looks so I shut up. :rolleyes: For some reason half the people there thought sand was supposed to be white. Weirdos :razz:

[LostMind]

I have two cucumbers and a fighting conch and prolly 50 cerith snails and my sand doesnt look that white!

[martym]

They all look that white at the beginning, give it a couple of months then look at it :mrgreen: Great pics Christy

[BCOrchidGuy]

Yeah Marty is right, good pics and thanks for taking them and posting them. I notice Shao made it into one pic, I didn't know he made it into that room....lol.. poor guy.

Doug

[Jack]

My sand has always been white in my other tanks too. It's the high flow/circulation/turn-over rates. :mrgreen:

Nice pics Christy. Thanks.

[Chad]

That new tank look is always fun to see.. especialy after its aged 6 months.. what a difference..

[ldzielak]

Looks like you guys had some fun! Why couldn't it have been this comming Weekend... :evil: :evil:

[Acro]

Well I manage to work my way through the crowd and snap a few shots of Shao's awesome reef. So thought I'd share one of the shots that turned out the best. This is the left side of Shao's reef showing part of his collection of stonies.
