Im not sure yet. I want to go, but family has a few things scheduled...so have to see if I can fit it in. Trying to go, though.

rjinct · 08/25/2009, 09:17 PM

I'll be going. Like Didi71, I'm hoping to pick up a fixture there as well.

Kdocimo90 · 08/25/2009, 09:58 PM

Im heading up.. I wanna check out the new hybrid fixture to see if it'll be worth getting an add-on (for my existing constellation fixture).

Hopefully it'll be as good as they say it is. From what I've heard, last years wasnt as great as they said it would be.

scolley · 08/26/2009, 09:00 PM

I'm gonna pass. But if someone sees a really good deal on a 60" to 72" fixture, PLEASE gimme a yell at 203 451-4836. I'll be burning rubber to get there!

Wheel of Time · 08/30/2009, 08:40 AM

Im thinking of heading up for the tent sale. Sounds like they may have some fish/corals for sale at de ent prices. Might as well go check it out.

RTMA · 08/31/2009, 09:16 AM

How was the sale? Anyone getting anything cool?

Kdocimo90 · 08/31/2009, 11:13 AM

It was alright.. good to talk with people. On the downside, they said that 8 boxes of livestock was lost during shipping, so there really was very few livestock to choose from. Also, fate decided that it was time for Erbgo (eric) to win all the damn prizes lol. He got loaded with good stuff.

I myself won a cool little purple and green favia frag. Next year will probably be better.

RTMA · 08/31/2009, 12:18 PM

Wow 8 boxes, that seems like a lot to lose. Gratz on the winnings. Unfortunately when things get hyped, disappointment becomes more of a reality. Did they have the hybrid T5 / MH fixtures you were looking for?

Aquactinics · 08/31/2009, 02:12 PM

Kdocimo90,

Just wanted to chime in. 8 boxes of fish/coral were not loss. They just didn't make it on the flight over here. The cargo flight was full and the next available flight would not have been until this week. No fish or corals were lost in shipping. We had a larger selection of fish and corals but most of them were sold within the first hour of the sale. Only a handful of stuff was left by the time you arrived. We'll make sure next year to get the shipments in earlier so that there is enough for everyone. Nice talking to you and hope you (and everyone else) can make it to MACNA this year.

Thank you,

Tom

Ohhhh.. I heard that they were lost, so I assumed they were lost in shipping transit. Yeah I assumed that alot of the fish were sold right away. Wish I was able to get up there earlier.

The raffles were great this year. Better than I even expected. The favia frag I got looks great.

Thanks again!
