    What a great show!!  I came home with a few pieces that I'm really looking forward to getting into my tank.  A bright yellow rock anemone and a purple fungia from Cherry Corals, an interesting green aussie acro from Sone, babys breath favia and pokerstar monti from Fishbrain, and what I think is the ORA Australian Delicate Staghorn from the Live Aquaria donations in the raffle.  Now I just need to find room for all of it!  So what did you get?

    Um....I sort of kind of got a total of...oh my.

    44 frags. 3 colors full.

    Now, I was buying mostly softies and zoas and some LPS, so they weren't too pricey...and actually did win one in the raffle.....

    but it was an acro and I traded it rather than kill it...for three more frags /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default//emoticons/smile.gif.

    I'll take some pics once I clean the tank a bit.

    Only thing tho.....my wife has decided that: "That Xenia is just too cute! We're having some!" I'm gonna try to stick to rare color morphs that grow slowly.....

    nothing high end or crazy, a few zoas from random people, a acan and a couple cheaper chalices. I walked away with 11 frags in all. Next time I hope to have the courage to buy the higher end items i really wanted.

    So your the guy......
    I came to the show and was planning on only getting one thing...a Scoly.  As I was waiting in line to ask how much it was he was scooping it out and bagging it up.  You got a good deal on that thing and I am super jealous.
    Being there was only one Scholy to be had at the entire show I ended up coming home with a bunch of awesome acans, and a bad *** colony of blastos from midwest and one of the Fromia Sea Stars from Cherry Corals.  I also got a mystery SPS from Sone and a nice chunk of ORA Hawkins Blue from JB.
    Quite a bit of stuff considering my tank was already full, turns out there was plenty of room.

    Nothing too expensive, but a few nice things [​IMG]
    A head of duncan from Jim/potroast, very nice:
    [​IMG]
    More zoas, these are a few AOI's and then there was something else further back on the same frag:
    [​IMG]
    LOVE this acro from Sone, not sure what the name is, but the picture does not do it justice:
    [​IMG]
    Another awesome acro, this one from Bill/fishbrain.  It's a beautiful neon pink with these delicate little polyps, couldn't get a decent picture though:
    [​IMG][​IMG]
    Some Red people eaters from some guys from Quad city area, one said he works at AE.........they had a lot of nice stuff!
    [​IMG]
    Also got this neat looking birdsnest type acro from them too (I think /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default/emoticons/confused.gif), but didn't get a decent picture of it......also bought a zoa that I already had /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default/emoticons/pinch.gif; it looked different under the lighting there and I couldn't tell, lol!  Also some purple bonsai from Potroast.  I think that was all-that was enough!
    Bought some reef glue gel from Ocean Wonders, NICE STUFF!  Will be buying that again.

    Had my tank about 1 1/2 years and this was the first fest I've been able to make it too. I got 3 frags. An acan from Sloan, not sure if it has a particular name, pulsating xenia from, can't remember who and a Rainbow Raptor zoa I think it was called from was it saltwaternewbie?? I should have written this stuff down!! Next time:) Actually all are doing awesome and I had a good time at the fest:) Enjoyed seeing Calfo for the first time and learned I shouldn't still have my same dry fish flake food I bought a year and a half ago..... good news is it proves I haven't been overfeeding!!lol
