We just arrived in Seattle late last night and I was shocked at how cool it is here.
Trina and I just left the heat wave in Onterrible and had to turn on the heater in the car when we arrived here in Seattle! It didnt stay on long, but after nearly a month in Indo and 120 degree F temps in Onterrible, the 50 degree F was a bit cool for us


Glad to see a bunch of people are coming though!

For everyone attending, come and pick up a business card from either Trina or myself and we will honnour SeaMax Trade special show pricing through one of our dealers right here in Canada!

Trade show special pricing will not be posted, but there will be some great deals available through the US shop Age Of Aquariums, that will be in our booth at the trade show so be sure to stop by.

And for everyone that attends my presentation on keeping Non-Photo Synthetic corals, you will be eligible for some sweet discounts on the Fauna Marin foods that are required to keep these amazing corals alive.

As we just got back from indo, we will not be able to bring our amazing corals to the show BUT pick up one of our cards and you will be eligible for a 10% discount on some of our signature pieces from a Canadian dealer such as:

Blue Thunder Gomezie

Default Seamax

The selection and prices at seamax were incredible. Seemed like all the vendors had a firesale on! I guess the great weather hampered the turnout. Well worth the trip.

There were some good deals on frags and such on Sunday, but as a Canadian it did not matter, we cant bring them home. There was some nice swag being passed out, so that was nice. Overall it was ok.

Lots of nice corals and some truly gorgeous clams but as we couldn't bring them home it was hard to get too excited about them. The show was pretty good, I was kind of surprised at the drygoods prices, we've got it pretty good here. I didn't see any really good deals but then I wasn't really looking for any big ticket items.

I enjoyed it and hope they run it again.

Stopped in on a few talks on Sunday and was also able to see the twin-arc 10000/ 20000 MH bulbs running - anyone using these? I was also given a litre of NPX Pellets by the Two Little Fishes people so I am pretty happy.

If you were able to bring things back with a 48 hour stay, the raffle was a good deal. I didn't see anyone buying tickets so your chances of winning was pretty good. Had quite a few things available like RO/DI units and ballasts.

By late afternoon the frags were almost being given away as the vendors did not want to ship them back. Buy one get one free on most things. 15 polyps of true Red people Eaters for $5 or 6 frags of closed up Zoas for $5. You wouldn't know what you were getting but they had a lot of beautiful stuff. As I was leaving, I even heard negotiations for one whole tank of left over frags at around $100.
