That will just be Bob and Gale.  I gave my table to a couple of fellows from my local club.....

Here's the table layout.  I had a prime spot right in the center of the room too.   ???

Always move forward. Never look back.

I enjoyed myself. The place was packed. Talked to Bob and Gale for a little bit. Got me some algae wafers, Live worm culture and #40 The fry went nuts. The BNs  love the wafers and the rest of the fish tore up the 40. Bob has great food. They are good folks. Got enough plants to do another 75. Mark has the best plants I have seen in a long time very happy with them.

Bob has the best substrate I have used. I had a 125 I set up with his substrate and another 125 with Eco-complete and co2. Bobs substrate did much better than the Eco-complete. Bobs thank had no co2. This summer I'm setting up my 180 and 150 show tanks up. I'm going to make them look like a jungle. I will be ordering my substrate  from Bob and my plants from Mark.

Actually, on the way down, we stopped driving about 30 miles away because it started to snow. Traffic went from 75 to 35 MPH. So, we stopped at a Super 8.

Gale took one pic. The pics I try to post are too big. I need to learn how to shrink them.

You would have loved that full room of people. The club treasurer , Barb, came by and thanked us for attending. We would have received the "Distance Award" if they had one. LOL   A few people had heard of us. That was nice to hear.

I use 'slickpic' now....works great, and easy to use....uploads your pics right from your 'puter' and then post their provided link...plus being stored there means saving more room on your hard drive....and available to any computer that you get on.....handy..
