GHAC Auction - May 2009

[newb]

I got some really cool Trets. I have one with my new Katoto trophs, and one with my Dubs. I might remove the one with my Dubs though...he really blends in.

hey man...your tiger shovelnose has nothing wrong with it medically. the little cottony tuft is actually a piece of net. He got stuck really bad this morning so we just cut the net as close as possible.

haha good to know!

I'll still keep an eye on him... he beat his fins up pretty good in the bag.

I was able to sneak out before anyone ever noticed i was there....

I SAW YOU!

no you didn't...

It was great to meet so many yesterday. I hope those that got venison from me enjoy it. All the fish I got it trades are doing great. And the foods and heater will be used starting today.

As far as buying, wow,... got way more than I planned. But, I'm putting my 46gal bowfront back up now that my fishroom/den has wood floors, so the 1) aquasoil 2) 96wt Odyssea light fixture, 3) drift wood, 4) plants, all fit right into my plan. I'll post pics over the next couple of days as I get it all set up.

Oh, and I stayed till the end and still made it home in time to go to dinner with my wife and her tennis friends, i.e., stayed out of the doghouse !

I made out like a bandit! I've already planted all my plants (minus some java moss I'll do tomorrow once I get some black thread), have my Eheim air-feeder programmed and loaded with NLS, the ABN's are resting in their new home, and I've got a Mag12 in reserve just incase one of my (or a friend's) other Mag Drives ever goes down.

Our only regrets would be not getting that Illangi painting, and those cool looking red, white, and blue female bettas.

We had a great time, it was good seeing all. That was my first GHAC auction and I was very impressed. I look forward to the next one!

That painting was my favorite!

I SAW YOU!

That painting was my favorite!

I know.. I think its because I never got to see it up close until after the auction before I realized how nice it was. And at $20.00 that was a STEAL!

[Tiapan]

they were all nice paintings, i cant believe all the stuff i got AGAIN. i may have been numero uno spender again. we will have to wait and see.

[Tiapan]

glad you all had a great time. thank you again to all the volunteers that made the auction possible, and to all the vendors and such that gave donations to the club.

[Nickintex]

Dollyrots. You are leaving early to see Dollyrots.

It worked out well.
Got to stay until the end of the auction and go to the concert in due time. I even got a chance to speak to and get the lead singer's autograph! It was a great day!

[Darbex]

So now the paper that they signed it worth less than you bought it for. I had fun at the auction. For the first time ever I made more money then I bought. Alright. Good job David and Tim as auctioneers and it was funny seeing your face David at the check out. I told you it would happen. It was nice seeing the old faces and meeting the new ones. Some of you I didnt even get to see there as I was at the check out table well I guess some might have passed through check out and didnt know the face with SN.

[rrocket2002]

Agreed. It was a great time.

Thank you to everyone who helped with the auction. I thank you for dedicating your time to help make the auction fun for everyone.

Thank you to those who came out to participate. I hope you found something you needed and had fun as well.

I got conned........

Well I got home and I was so tired I didn't even unpack all my prizes.
After spending the night in the car, my 3 bags full of flowerhorn / blood parrot hybrid juvies only had 2 losses, 1 little one and 1 big one.

I unpacked them and added them to my Jack Dempsey juvies and took a look at them for the first time..... I can't tell them appart.

I got the Jack Dempseysat HAS - $2 for 3
and I got the FH/BPs - $ 0.50 for 6

Then I added the 4 bags of red devil hybred juvies (only lost one).
They look different. Stripes instead of spots. Anyone know what the red devil crossed with ?

Wonder how fast they will out grow that 40 gal tank ?
Anyone know where I can get a 175 bowfront resealed rapido ?
Maybe I should buy one of those 10' dia 30" deep swimming pools ?
