Thanks Crazed!
There will be a table and a chair or 2 for each. They are already set up around the perimeter of the room, end to end, with 3-4 down the center. Loading in is at ground level. I will bring my 2-wheel dolly.
I will have my table next to the entry so I can work with the registration table and man my table. Everyone will choose their tables as they arrive. I don't think any one table has a more advantageous position than another.

Pm'd you back. Come on Down!!
Hey Cory... I'm interested in Finnex lights. 24" and of course good for plant growth.
You really should bring one of the lights that pops the red in the fish...it's really impressive!

Crazed Ace I'm hoping to grab a Bristle Nose or 2 while I'm down there. Are they albino or natural? I prefer the latter.

Gigi and I are also bringing our new artisan-made fish caves. Look at these things! Each is hand built from terra cotta by a professional ceramicist here on Vashon Island. The quality is so much more than you'd find from imported slip cast ceramic or molded plastic. Gigi designed them from the best caves we have seen over the years plus we added some unique design upgrades that are all new. Each one is signed by the artist on the bottom.
Style #1 Two Piece Cave Spawner with Removable Roof - $25 at the swap meet only. Priced higher online and at retail.
Those of us who keep fish who breed in caves knows how difficult it can be to know what is going on inside the cave without picking up the cave itself and disturbing what we are trying to do. Gigi has designed these caves with a removable lid so you can pop it off to observe if there are eggs/fry inside but then swiftly and harmlessly put the lid back on. If you raise ceiling egg layers like Cichlids, this is a no brainer to have.
Style #2 Cave with Plant Anchors - $20 at the swap meet only. Priced higher online and at retail.
We love the natural look aquarium as you know and we were often frustrated that most caves are so smooth that one cannot attach plants. Gigi decided to design plant anchors right onto the cave for you to tie to. It provides some camouflage to help relax the fish, creates rooftop cover for young fish just out of the cave, and also makes a home for infusoria close to the cave mouth for future fry eating. Such a win!
Style #3 Pleco Cave - $10 at the swap meet only. Priced higher online and at retail.
Most pleco caves look either mass produced or in geometric shapes that don't look naturally occurring. Gigi had these pleco caves lovingly made in organic forms so they blend into your tank more.
Very limited availability. Each is hand made. No holds. Make us your first stop when you arrive!
We will also have shrimp t-shirts, Gigi's Wonderfood, healing leaves and barks and other fabulous items. See you tomorrow!
