OK guys and gals the last day of MACNA 2011 is here. Today Ill see if I can find a deal and of course the raffle. They had a raffle everyday but all the larger prizes are today. IT was kind of cool for those that could only make it one day could still have a chance to win something.

The only downside of the trip is REV would not come to dinner with us in the evening..... lol just too busy..

For those that have never been. They host a dinner Friday and saturday night For everyone. ITs really nice.

Mojo,
Great job. I was there Friday and hoping to run into you; unfortunately we never linked up. Had a super time, had a chance to get-together with Dr. Mac Pacific East Aquaculture,and do dinner. He started his aquarium career working for me in my shop and also my wholesale division shipping fish way back in the '60's. No such thing as LED's in those days. However we did have Protein Skimmers, although airstone powered. Glad to see how successful this hobby has become for so many.

Thanks Mojo!!!! :bigsmile: Great pictures and information.

I noticed that just about all the vendors were using LED lights?? hmmmm

Yeah, displaying corals for sale at shows is about all they're good for:wink:

Great shots Mojo, thnx for sharing for all of us who could not attend.

Did you win something mojo?

 

[gparr]

Mojo, thanks for taking the time to post the photos. Everyone should make every effort to attend a MACNA event. You'll learn a lot, see lots of products in person, and meet a lot of great people. Next year it's in Dallas, Sept. 28-30. Make plans now to attend. You'll be glad you did.

Did you win something mojo?

Yes lol, I won a external skimmer. I never use externals so I traded it off for some coral. And I also won Some ATB Biopellets. MY buddy that I came with won the 60g cube setup donated by Marco Rocks.IT was the tank , stand, ACAN Leds, Rock and sand. We had no room for the stand so had to leave it there. I have a pic its crazy when you drive a civic and try to get a tank in it.

Awsome! I never got a chance to meet you... but one of my friends did on a bus ride and pointed you out. Maybe next year in Dallas :}
