Yes, its true, a local reefer (me) took home the big prize at IMAC.
I wanted to give a BIG shout out and THANK YOU THANK YOU! Thank you ! to Ken (Mustang) & Tim & John for thier huge amounts of help in taking the beast down and helping us haul the parts back home.
And thanks to all I didn't mention specifically, especially those that purchased fish.
Everything made it back in one piece - the fish are all doing well in a Q tank while we set the 120 back up. The corals are all in our 46 bow w/halides - they are GORGEOUS!
Just FYI, it was a 120 gallon AGA dual overflow w/ stand pipes & a beautiful maple cabinet and stand. Lights included were one pair of 55W PC's and another strip of 3 NO's. It came with two skimmers, (one is a Kent Nautilus) and a return pump that we don't know the make of. Also various bits of salt & chemical additives.
I think there was about 50 fish from ORA - I sold half of them off. We found three more DOA that hid in the live rock after we got home, and lost one ocellaris last night. The rest are doing well (pair of maroons, saddlebacks, ocellaris, clarkii, gold california gobies, neon gobies, one each of orchid, striped & sunrise dottybacks.) About 6 SPS frags, 2 zooanthid covered rocks & 2 colt corals. I think we figure at least 100 pounds of live rock. Mostly cured
I did the cartwheel because my husband and I were talking about silly things we'd do if we won (thinking that we wouldn't win at all, as it usually goes). I won. So I did the cartwheel.
I had a great time at IMAC before the raffle. Winning was a nice perk.
Thanks again to all who helped!
