Inland Aquatics Trip - Page 2

Dave....that's a gorgeous clam...definately a cool place, I will be heading back there when possible. That mantis was a beast too...She wasnt scairt of nuthin'.....
I picked a nice little welsophilia open brain....passsed on a gorgeous hammer coral...and pretty much had a great time.
Nikki's pic of the toadstool really doesnt convey the size of that thing. I would easily put it about 25 inches across, and very happy...
Great time, great place, AWESOME staff w/ great customer service...definetly reccomend ordering from them.

does this better convey the size?

(Curts head is an average sized head not to big not to small...just right)

wow........speachless......

great pics thanx for sharing looks like you guys had a good time

Curtswearing · 01-10-2004, 11:30 PM

Thanks for putting up the pic's Nikki and Chris. BTW--that sarcophyton is rumored to weigh over 125 lbs.

I had an awesome time and I think highly of that organization. Not only do they sell retail and wholesale, they have a room in their building dedicated to giving teaching seminars to groups.

That fragging tank is 40,000 gallons. However, if you were to see the rest of their operation, I would say there is another 80,000 gallons of water in there. If you go and spend 4 hours there like I did, I recommend buying one of these Personal Cooling Units
Even though it is winter, people would go outside without any coats to escape the humidity. Corbin was there for a bit as well.

I would personally like to thank them for taking such good care of my reefing club SEASL.

A sandwich would have been nice..

Curtswearing · 01-11-2004, 12:03 AM

nivek · 01-11-2004, 02:26 AM

nice pics

BigReepher · 01-11-2004, 04:07 AM

I've heard nothing but good things about Inland. I plan on making the trip soon. I'm intrigued to see their scrubbers and how they work. Your beautiful NaH20 and so are the pics.

wooddood · 01-11-2004, 06:07 AM

great pics wish i could have been with you guys,thanks for sharing.

NaH2O · 01-11-2004, 07:56 AM

Spooda, I didn't know you were a fan of F1....I'm a JP fan, too! Thanks for the comments everyone, and a sandwich would have been great with the cooling system. I don't think the rotifiers or phyto would have filled us up very much.

I have a couple of more pics I'll post later on today.

Maxx, Curt walked away with that gorgeous hammer!

Mebigloser · 01-11-2004, 09:07 AM

I will be making a trip hopefully next week, I am going to check them out for the Petshop I work. All I have to do is set a date and fax them our paperwork.

Mary · 01-11-2004, 11:42 AM

Great pics and looks like a nice place to visit! Thanks for sharing them Nikki!

Maxx · 01-11-2004, 01:14 PM

I'm glad Curt got that hammer. I really wanted it, but couldnt justify rearanging my whole tank to fit in one more coral just yet. If my 58 was up that'd be a whole different story...but since this is a 20....
Besides...this way I can pester him for frags of it!

Nikki,
Thats great.... JPM rocks, I think he'll do well this year with BMW.Williams and then next year when he goes to McLaren he'll do even better.

You have tickets to the F1 race in indy? We have our grandstand tickets already. We went the last 3 years, talk about a FUN time...I have some killer pics of the cars I took last year.
