And so does DFWMAS! Scott I will be up at Macna XV! This was my first MACNA to ever go to and if anyone has real interest in this hobby then it is a once in a lifetime oppurtunity! There is SOOOO much knowledge in one place that it can be overwhelming in a very exciting way! Here are some pics of what some of you missed if you didnt make this MACNA

Joy and JT from Harbor Aquatics (AWESOME JOB by both of em)

I bought the last piece :P

Of course I cant forget our fellow mod Perry! (he is the one on the left)
They had a kikkin setup!

And the highlight of the whole trip was that I went up there with a couple of my buddys John aka Aquaman, and Chuck aka Mako and Chuck won the grand prize which is a 120g starphire tank all tricked out with corals, LR, tons of fish, clams, sps frags, Leng mud filter system....etc etc etc. Needless to say it was chuck was very happy and luckily we went up there w/ a truck...here is the tank he won

Aren't I just adoreable (although a little fuzzy

)! Really, it was great meeting all the guys (and gals) there. Harbor had some amazing stock there, as did Coral Reef, SW paradise, and and everyone was more than friendly. Sat night was a blast (from what I remember!) and you can count on me being at the next one...exhibitor or not.

I would highly recommend people to get signed up as it will be a blast.

This definately needs a bump!

Also how bout a sound off of whos going? Cmon ppl you will spend hundreds of dollars on little gadgets for your tanks but not a couple hundred bux to be in the same building learning w/ a bunch of reef geeks for the weekend? Its really not that bad...hehe I promise. Its a very small amount compared to what you will get back in knowledge and fun!
