Maybe now you guys can see why I love these guys so much!!! I think they compliment each other wonderfully. It's my favorite piece of real estate. Now my tank is complete. :D

What is the difference between a Rhizo and a Dendro? Looks like the Rhizos are larger than Dendros?

Thats what I though but was not certain. I have some coming in next week and have never had Rhyzos but have had tons of Dendros in the past.

Ah Pufferpunk. That's the advantage of having a selling table. I visited Tomasz's booth and he had the Rhyzo and Blasto set aside for you! Congratulations on two beautiful finds. Tomasz definitely has some nice stuff.

So you made it to the swap! I was set-up right next to Tomasz's booth ... I had the nano tank.

I consider that pretty close, worth the drive if its a big swap. The great mother in-law lives there so we travel to Chicago often.

I'll be sure to post again here when we have another local swap. The snow storm on saturday didn't help, but we still had about 400 people attending.

I actually reserved that Rhizo online with Tom before the swap. When I went to introduce myself to him, I saw the blasto & had him put that one aside for me too. Advantages of having a selling table? Bringing only $150 & being able to buy $600 worth of corals! ;)

Browns, The VDMs have bleached a bit in my frag tank, along with several other ffrags, so they are on a rack in my main tank. All 3 of them have at least 2 babies on them, maybe more! I hope you are happy with the trade. :)

400 people? WOW, I did miss out. I would have been interested in being a vendor. Please post the next time around and I will make plans to make it.

Gary, I could have finally met you! Sorry, I learned late and was going to Chicago for other reasons. Did you post that you expect some Rhyzo's in? I've been looking for one or two. Are they going to ebay or eStore?

So you made it to the swap! I was set-up right next to Tomasz's booth ... I had the nano tank.

Thanks to your weather warning Sara, I took an early morning flight (standby) and avoided the snow delays later in the morning. I didn't buy anything because I'm not leaving till Wednesday. Nina told me about a nice favia you have. She later directed me to Reef Depot (yesterday) who kindly arranged shipping to Boston. Spent twice as much as I had planned (What else is new?). Do you have a contact that is helping you build the stand for your dream tank? I need a similar stand built, but have a Boston contact, I think.
