What did you get @ Aquamania 2013?

[charlie]

I`ll start it off 
I had no intention of buying anything , since i did not need anything, but i the few mins. i had on Saturday to look around a Bag of" ADA Amazonia new" jumped off a table from Angelfins and knocked me over  a  little later a glass box made with Starfire glass on CAD lights table somehow got into the back seat of my car - thanks to the person who put it there .
On Sunday while on break the person sitting next to me held my hand up & next thing i knew i was paying for some needle leaf java fern 
Can`t figure out how these things happen to me & why.

So you finally broke down and bought ada aquasoil eh? You won't regret it! I bought some needle leaf java, a crypt, a male and female pair of rare killis from SAM, and six juvenile angels to be grown out in a barebottom tank for now.

I bought:

A package of Repashy Gel Food for my fry
A giant air pump for my soon to be setup fry tanks
North Fins cichlid food from OVAS

and last, but certainly not least...

An 8g Starfire tank and BioBalls reactor from CAD lights to start up my journey into the salty side after all the pressure I've been getting from Phil and Seb to take the plunge into the salty world! 

[zenins]

I got several pieces of mopani wood from Angel Fins as well as a 22 inch long glass cleaner.

In the auction, as mentioned in another other thread, I got a bag of Xystichromis sp. "dayglow" Rift Lake cichlids and the 5 gallon Metaframe chrome frame aquarium,
to join my childhood Metaframe chrome aquarium from the late 1960's, that I am still using ... yes !

I was controlling myself this year only pick up 4 Betta Edithea and also I won the Zoo Med T5HO light from the raffle.  Some of my tank are sitting empty waiting for new stock

[crazy 4 fish]

Oh Shawn I let you have those Betta. Lol. And remember you owe Carole-Anne and I a cut of your raffle winnings bc we told you you won. I got the other bag of 3 month old Betta Edithae and some adults. I also picked up a beautiful white Dumbo eared female betta and by some crazy stroke of luck a 75 gal tank. I still can't believe I won. I had a great time ... even with my bronchitis ... and always a pleasure seeing you guys.

When I mention to my friends that I attend a fish auction people always look at me funny!! 
I always have a blast!
Thanks for organizing such a great event! 
Amazing job by OVAS and all the volunteers!

I've been extremely good this year and only ended up with the following livestocks:

- 10 protomelas taeniolatus juvies (red empress)
- 3 placidochromis electra; only wish there were more batches in the auction as these guys are amazing. 

The highlight for me this year is getting a Fluval Ebi 8G shrimp kit for $65 taxes in!  Thanks Angelfins!  Now I regret for  not get another one at this price
