Here are a few photos from the frag tanks while setting up for TMAC. There is some wicked corals. Wish I had time to get photos from all the vendors tonight. Will be bringing the camera back tomorrow. If you are on the fence about going... this is not a show to miss. :bigsmile:

First up... Cherry Corals:

I cannot wait to see their corals fully open up. The rhizoids and acans were insane!!!

I wish I could have made this. Severe case of poison oak kept me from attending. Were there many unusual acros?

WOW!! Nice pics there.. THe rhizoids are a site to see when they are open, did you by any chance ask for the price? Easily over 300.00 i would imagine. Cherry corals are the real deal, you normally dont see dendro colonies that big. Acan lord galore and many chalices. Had to have had at 10k in inventory. Stunning colors. Great pics once again

I hadnt seen the mohawks from zoa nuts, those are very nice too. Man i really missed out...

Sat, 21st Mar 2009, 09:10 PM
BTW, the dendro's were going for I think $10 or $20 a head. Ace picked one up so he might be able to chime in. Great prices on a lot of stuff that was there.

Compliments out to everyone! What a great time we all had. Wish I had won some freebies... but alas I have some great corals including a few pieces of the deepwater zoa morphs. Jennifer, any pics of those?? THX

Seeing the pics makes me wish I called in sick, but that would not look to good considering I just started working at a new hospital. I guess there is still next year, or the internet.

Bummer, sorry to hear!

There were A LOT of unusual and nice acros there. I spent waaaay too much today, but at the prices at which I paid, I couldn't pass this stuff up.

I would have liked to taken a few clams from Frank's Tanks and B&B home, along with a few acros from Fish2morrow (SICK ACROS!), a chalice from zoanuts, and an acan from Cherry Corals

(did I cover most everything?) :D

I am sooo fried! There were so many nice displays making it very difficult to choose what to get. I'll post more pictures tomorrow. "Thank you" is not enough to those who organized this event. IT WAS AWESOME!

Who walked away with that nice pink plate? That was a beauty!
I can't say enough to all who pulled together to make this happen. TEAMWORK IS THE SUCCESS OF EVERYTHING!
Thanks to the BOD, the Volunteers, and DREW. Thanks to Jennifer for documenting the Event on Pics, and to Jeff to Videoing the Presentations, hope to get this added to the library soon. Most of all, thank to the MEMBERS who came out to support the Event. I hope everyone had a great time. (For those who were not able to make it, there is a tentative date scheduled for next year!)
