I wanted to, but didn't realize just how little time I would have to actually visit with the vendors between seminars. After the seminars were over, I was ready to open my wallet but everyone was packing up!

[dpotts]

I too had a great time at TMAC. Being fairly new to the hobby I learned a lot. I ended buying a orange riccordea and a dendro. I also won a bag of fungia frags. Someone else won a bubble tip anemone frag but he already had one, so I traded half of the fungia frags for it...so I came home with a BTA also!! Here are some pics of the fungia, riccordea and dendro. I'm unable to get a pic of the BTA at this time because it's still cruising around and currently in a spot where I can't get a good pic. Will post when I can!!

I picked up a few frags from Cherry Corals (Mars Man Chalice, Green Lantern Chalice as well as 8 acans). Also picked up a pink acan, rhodactis (same one as Ace), pink and green ricordia, and a wild Pokerstar Monti. I'll get some pictures posted later today. :)

Would have really liked to have picked up the baby RBTA and a clam from B&B, Purple Nasuta from Fish2Morrow, the Hawiian Shrimp in the Saphire Aquatics display tank, some zoanthids from ZoaNuts but I ran out money

[MRSBIGBIRD123]

Jennifer, ZoaNuts, Cherry Corals, Frank's Tanks and Fish2Morrow all became Sponsors yesterday. Maybe we can plan a road trip out there. I have actually talked with Robert from Fish2Morrow, and he is willing to ship.

Nice pieces Ace!

I picked up a nice 7 head dendro mini-colony from Cherry Corals, and a FREE 2oz bottle of the cyanoacrylate that they were giving away!
(like $10 value!) What a great business card.

I also picked up that HUGE Sherman RBTA from Robert @ fish2morow out of Ft. Worth. This baby will be propagated in a few months. As of now, it's about 10x10x10"!

As far as dry goods go, I won a ZeoVit Nano Powerpack that was donated by KingFish, and I bought a Lumenarc pendant from Frederick @ Coral Reef Bazaar.

[hobogato]

yep, that is it :)

[MRSBIGBIRD123]

No pics yet, but Steve bought me both the yellow and orange Hammers, along with some Purple Death Zoas from ZoaNuts, and he bought himself some Duncans from them. (Later, without him knowing I bought some sweet Zoas, the Yellow Hornets and another Morph, from them also.:innocent2:) I bought a nice Acan from Cherry Corals. We also bought and Efflo from Fish2Morrow. I also think he purchased a Red Planet from Sapphire Aquatics.

[wesheltonj]

No photos yet, also. I picked up a Gold Max Clam and a scolys and took those home with me. I have being shipped a tubs blue zoo, a neon green duncan and a GHL ORP probe.

I was wondering who grabbed this anemone^

Well I grabbed that baby rbta from b&b and won a raffled $1 frag(if anyone knows the exact name please tell me, they called it acro but then anthony called him out on it so Im guessing its not....).
Also won a MAAST charter membership!


Also when I tried to upload pics it says that it failed :( when my charter membership goes into affect I will try again I guess.
