It was really nice to meet everyone!
@OneFishTwoFish @yankieman @puffermike @Jared410 @Mayja @Hutch
A few folks were just there a day or two only and were only able to say a fast hi/bye before they went on there way. But, it was nice none-the-less. I don't think we all got the chance to meet @ReefApprentice but I did get to see him win a lot of new frag plugs, like 180 of them!
I won a jbj frag tank and a ORA frag in the MACNA raffle. And I came away with LOTS of swag, haven't even begun to gather all the swag yet. The frag tank is exactly like this one.
Here are some frags I bought and the one from ORA I won (black plug). A couple still need to color up from being in my backpack all day long.
Here is some eye candy
Next MACNA is in San Diego. I've already got my tickets!

I'll be posting photos of the eye candy and swag later. Wish I could've better met the rest of the rs members who'd attended.

It was a pleasure to see everyone from RS! Macna was quite the experience. Here are a few pics I snagged of some tanks in the hall.

Forgot to take pics of the two acans I also picked up. They are hanging out lower in the tank & completely for got abut them yesterday, my hus band wanted them 
.
And I also picked up two Berghia nudibranchs. But, I haven't seen them since I put them in the tank.
I'm heading out to canoe on the shenandoah river today, so will have to post a pic of them later tonight.

It was such a pleasure meeting fellow RS members. Special thanks to @Oxylebius for coordinating, and frags (doing very well). This was my first MACNA and I was very impressed with the educational aspects of the conference. I hope to make it to San Diego next September. Congrats on that awesome frag tank, Oxy !

Sounds like it was a great show. The frag tank win is good karma for all the brilliant advice you have given us Oxy! Plus some cracking looking SPS to put in it!
As for the clam tank is that not @Wrangy heaven....?

More MACNA pics...
Me going through the swag bag over a very much needed beer.
That's me inside a tank.
Thinking of getting this 5 gallon ATO container from Synergy Reef.
The picture is very blue, but that's my new hammer (purple heads with a green outline) in the front.
My new platygyra.
My new duncan.
My new chalice.
My new lobo.
My new Xmas favia.
@Hutch and I at the White House.

I picked up an AI Prime light for the frag tank. I hope it is a good one. 
I bought it off the MACNA showroom floor w/o time to look it up online. With some limited smart phone info and a nice discount, I took it. I really like the shimmer it gives the tank, that was the selling point for me.
