    Damn all you lucky Cali beach bums! So jealous that I live on the wrong coast for all this Reefer Madness! East coast just never can compete with all you west coast trend setters!

    What are in those two bags in the Free Loot picture? Looks like you walked away with some fine Cali Home Grown, and I'm not talking about the captive bred flame angel!

    Can you show us pics of the frags you purchased? I would've ended up in debt if I went to one of these shows! So many awesome goodies in one building?

    (awesome you met Brett from ATM, loved Tanked but they only had like 6 episodes then just disappeared?)

    LOL yeah the brown bags are ceramic plugs. I forgot to post pics of my ceramic in tank reef structures I bought :( Brett told me that they have 20 more episodes of Tanked coming next May!!! He was a very cool guy and definitely knows a lot about the hobby.

    More pics would be great. :D

    I was not aware about Tanked, I haven't watched that show in a while. I only watched like the first two episodes of it.

    Here are the three pieces I bought from CeramEco. They are really cool. Have frag plug holes on them. Also have a couple areas for fish or critters to hide. I know my wrasses will love them. They love to find little isolated areas to hide.

    Heh, yeah it was a great show. I ended up with 14 pieces also. Was hard to find a place for it all LOL. Gonna be getting more photos of both Travis' stuff as well as my own over the next couple days. Wanted everything to open up and acclimate well before showing it off

    It was a really great show. My girl has some more photos I need to dig through and get up later.

    Travis checking out some coral cutters and glue. I think this was his favorite part of the day as he is quite obsessed with coral glue. LOL
