What did you get at the Garage Sale?

[Anja]

I picked up some guppies, a tank light and hob filter, some wood and some fishfood. Since the guppies needed a new home STAT, it was a good thing I had that empty 10g sitting around (thanks, Errol). Only thing I had to pick up new was the gravel; for the plants I raided my other tanks:



So far the guppies (2 at right hand back corner and 1 right under the surface) seem ok.

[Nerine]

wow looks great!!!

I didn't get ANYTHING! hahahaha I was soooo well behaved I didn't buy a single thing though I saw many things I would have loved to have purchased!! the family was quite impressed, though they haven't seen Joyce's loot in the back of the van yet hahahah

I still have some more things for sale and need to get some plants and a filter now! but other than that, had an awesome time it was great seeing ya'll! There were some AWESOME deals to be had there!!!!

[Fishnut]

I didn't get anything either! I didn't really go to shop though.  I just went to socialize .

[holachicka]

I got some salt ala Nerine

[Yams]

I got a chain sword plant.... not sure who from, I was there fast and furious, I will try to be more social next time... 

Was there 9am-9:30, whomever sold me the chainsword, thanks for putting up with my lack of knowledge! Lots to learn about plants!

I got the Walstad book I've been keeping an eye out for - I'm very happy about that find.

Other than that, some lovely freebies of filter floss, suction cups, tubing and some fantastic orchid advice (thanks Enrico!)

It was great seeing people - my schedule's not been great for meetings, so it was nice to see everyone.

I had way to much fun. 
I got a 50ft python, a very large glass blow, books for the library, a 10gal and 50gal filter, 2 air pumps; a set of 3, 5gal to 2gal, rimless tanks; 2ft tank light and I hope that's it. 
I got such great prices and I have to thank Nerine for stashing it all in the back of her vehicle until Monday's meeting. 
Almost forgot my two little Octo catfishes that where donated to me by Irene!

It was better than Christmas!!

Always a good time at these events and great to see all the familiar faces. As my wife would say, "you're such a fish geek"

[markw]

Hey Andre, Glad the canopy fit...aren't garage sales great? And John, Glad the fish all made it home O.K. You're gonna really like those kirizas when they mature! AS for you Errol...you drive a hard bargain! Seems like you've had practice at beating people down before over their prices. You should be ashamed taking advantage of innocent people like me!!!
It was fun and glad to have seen so many new people out. Hope you found what you were looking for.

[Laura]

AS for you Errol...you drive a hard bargain!

Errol - have you gone to the dark side of the cichlids?!?!

[holachicka]

"you're such a fish geek"
