    Here's a photo tour of MACNA as I see it.

    It's been just as great as I expected. I've picked up a couple nice frags and a Mystery Wrasse. I jumped on the wrasse at 45 bucks! ;D

    Sorry some of the pics a blue saturated.

    Also Brett Raymer of "Tanked" spoke during the dinner reception. He seems like a pretty guy in person but I wish I had got to ask him questions one on one.
    He decided to come to MACNA because of all the hate email the show has received from us hobbyists. I'm not going into his whole talk but he wants to make it clear that he and his family do know what they are doing. He said it takes anywhere from 44 to 72 hours of filming to get 40 minutes of show and he can't help what the editors who don't know better when it comes to husbandry cut out video. Makes sense to me and made me feel bad for bashing them a little.
