Lots of cool stuff here, all sorts of neat stuff on the free table. If you see someone with long hair and a parrot necklace that's me. Come say hi, I'd love to put faces to usernames!

Great time seeing all you all there! Now it's my time to impersonate Jimmy Fallon.....

Thank you Ali, Sue, & Brenda, for helping with the registration table. You are wonderful to help!

Thank you who donated to the "Free" table jar. Keman got his $15 back!
Thank you, Josh, for helping me and so many others carry stuff in and out of their cars and trucks.
Thank you, Brenda, for helping me unload and reload my truck.
Thank you, Cory, for bringing me the Finnex light and the pair of Pelvicachromis taeniatus, Moliwe.
Thank you, Aaron Feeney, for bringing me the lily.
Thank you, Kong, for trading plants with me.

It was awesome seeing you all! I'd say it was a great success. A little sad that it'll be another 3-4 months!!

Thank you, Ron, for putting these swaps together. I couldn't stay long, but it looks like there was a good turnout.

Cory, I'm disappointed that you didn't have any lights. :(

Madness, my cat won't leave that tank stand alone. He's been checking it out, inside and out and is now resting comfortably on top of it. :)

Holy moley, Cory! I put the pair of P. taeniatus in my community which houses my robust widowed female and within 2 minutes she was strutting her stuff to him with some of the most gorgeous purple/violet coloration I've ever seen on a fish! He quickly developed his pastel pink/lavender hue and strutted his stuff back at her! We went to dinner and upon return we find both of them in a cave! Thanks again for bringing them down to me!

To be fair, I did ask in the thread if anyone had any requests and to place orders so that I could bring them. I did deliver lights and fish and frozen goods etc to people who pre-ordered. Most likely next time I'll bring lights. At this moment I didn't have enough lights to stock the store and bring lights because the new model is going to come out, no point in stocking up on 5,000 dollars more in lights when a new model is coming out in a monthish.

Sorry, I must have missed that -- I posted that I was interested in the Finnex Stingrays, but I didn't give you any specific sizes or anything. I'll have to try to make it up to your store. Will those still be in stock or have they changed those as well?

Stingrays are in stock and not changing. It's the planted plus models that we may be switching out for the 24/7 model. Not 100% on that yet :)

Pretty happy with myself. After sales I managed to only spend a dollar lol note for next time I get a table. the middle of the room is so NOT where I want to be. Impressed with my ability to actually hold more then one or two conversations this time round, volunteering at the humane society is good for something more then just experience hours. Good seeing everybody!!!

Thanks Ron for being so nice and organizing the event and also for that 2 adult BN plecos!! they are happy in my 15gal column.

I also found the pleco I wanted (L183) From Carl. He also had gorgeous plants that motivated me to save up and set up a Planted Co2 infused Tank!!! Bought some plants as well.

And, thanks everyone for making it happen! Will be on the next meet for sure!!! See ya'll next time!!
