Yesterday I got lucky and splurged some... heres what I got - Aquarium Advice

fishfreek · 06-27-2004, 04:30 PM

I went to an all day reef conference yesterday and I won a few items as well as picked up a few nice corals from Dr Mac and Sons.

On my way home I picked up a pair of Stripped damsels to complete my fish load in the 75.

Here they are.

Dr Mac and Sons corals. I got the following two corals for $30/each.

Now on to what I won.

I won a refratcomoter as a door prize. WHOO. And the big prize I won in a raffle was a 250W [acronym:6b321db362="Metal halide light"]MH[/acronym:6b321db362] Blueline e-ballast.

Man, I need to go to a conference like that.

Nice looking fish (sorry, not a big coral fan

)!

Nice stuff. I was going to go to that conference as well.! What is the second coral. I have two small [acronym:0e52f65068="Broken or cut pieces of coral which will eventually grow into a new animal"]frags[/acronym:0e52f65068] that are attached to a toadstool that I bought and I didn't know what they were thanks...

Opps I'm sorry I meant the first one

fishfreek · 06-27-2004, 06:31 PM

Awesome! I need to win some stuff

Phenomenal. I've never seen those striped damsels before. They're not very common in stores, right? Or have I just been missing them (I always oggle the [acronym:57bb831535="Saltwater"]SW[/acronym:57bb831535] sections, even though I'm [acronym:57bb831535="Freshwater"]FW[/acronym:57bb831535] for the moment)?
