Anyone coming to the event interested buying a rainbow BTA? Colors on this BTA are really nice. But it started walking and I got nervous. I captured it when it was walking last night, so I didn't have to pry it off the rock work; it slide right off. I got it for a pretty good deal at $45, but you can have it for a steal at $30! I've had it for around 6 months.

I would love it if wlachnit doesn't take it. My clownfish need one anyway.

Guac need time to meld. Make it before hand then put wrap over the top with no air gaps. That will prevent oxidation. A little lime juice helps too.

Will do, thanks. I may float some olive oil on it to ensure no air.

Peter and I are really looking forward to going. We have homemade potato salad - yes, it is melding :) Peter made chocolate chip cookies, and we have 30# of sand and 20# of hydraulic cement.

What's your recipe for potato salad? :)

I put a lot of stuff in potatoes, boiled eggs, celery, sweet relish, mustard, green onions, garlic, paprika, mayo. and a secret ingredient or two - I have been told that it is the "best"

On a side note- we could really use some rock (live or dead) if anyone has some that they would like to part with, we will take it. Would be willing to pay

Thanks Phuang! Good time and a nice gathering. (except somehow I forgot to bring home a hammer that was brought for me. I hope someone grabbed it :))

Yeah I'm curious too... although I have a mild avocado allergy, and I'm not fond of mayo in my potato salad (I make a mayo-less version)

oh and did you make some frag plugs? lets see them! I had to show off (due to someone else taking the pictures) my horrible rock building, so I want to see some horrible frag plug building! :D

I ended up being the only person that made any. They turned out pretty bad but still usable

Thanks again to all those very generous people who gave me coral frags. They are much appreciated.

Thanks Phuang! It was great to meet everyone and get some valuable input.

Phuang, can you please let me know about how many pounds of rock you have in your tank - for reference so I can start figuring out how much I'll need in the 150, thanks.

Best regards,
Mike
