That is an amazing tour. We went on it with the ORCA club a couple months ago.
Very interesting to see all that they do.

Thanks! Great meeting you as well!

Hey Rev and Tonya, it was so nice to meet you guys this past weekend. You guys did a phenomenal job with the booth and continuously had them lined up three and four deep for information. Way to get the name out there! Although I still maintain Reef2Reef Man was creepy...hides...

I'm greatly looking forward to MACNA in Iowa. It's not all corn out here in the midwest :bigsmile: They are a great club who has really started the ball rolling. It's going to be a wonderful show.

Thanks! Enjoyed meeting you as well!

Yes, we need to pick a location & time in or near the host hotel for a Reef2Reef gathering and get a group shot.
Will be great to put more faces with the names. :wink:

Steve

This one didn't get the concept of the game of hide and go seek as it wasn't hiding at all....

The man himself - Mr. Randy Reed. He was the guy that inspired me to try to raise clownfish fry with his talk on keeping Rotifers.

which is a great segue to MOFIB - where I got my first starter colony of rotifers in 2009. Of course they didn't make it and I had to get a new batch.

they had a silent auction again but I couldn't bid on anything due to my inability to transport the stuff home.
