OK Marc it's on now. There is a reason why I take pictures and do not appear in them...... lol

I tend to agree, Jon. Logical thinking, indeed!

great post Marc, and what a nice event. Beautiful rooms and lots of cool stuff.

Wonders how they wrapped all of Nitros christmas gifts....need to leave a hint to my wife. I got lots of socks! Funny how I now look at gifts thinking what corals that gift could have been in.... $50 tie is a nice tang..... $60 video game could have been a sweet frogspawn.....

Today I got a Powder Blue Tang, Purple fire fish, Green Birdsnest coral, Fungia (short tenicle plate coral), and a orange tube coral.

The rolling rack from McMaster showed up today. I'm going to affix it to the ceiling tonight.

I ordered and received the acrylic rod I'm going to use to support my rockwork. I ordered a few 6' sticks of 3/4" and 1/2" diameter acrylic rod. The plan is to create a hidden support system within the sandbed so the rockwork can't shift accidentally due to flow or burrowing.

I got a cool iPhone dockable radio for work, a aqualifter pump for my topoff (which I'm still trying to figure out the best way to use it because my JBJ ATO will only stay on for a few minutes, and the aqualifter is too slow to fill up enough water to topoff), and some test kits as stocking stuffers!

My wife surprised me with a All-Glass 65G reef ready to replace my clunky 40 breeder. Not sure how she pulled it off, but she ordered the exact one i'd been wanting and got it in the house without me knowing.

A well-insulated room with no ventilation could get too hot with equipment, lighting, and a chiller / dehumidifier expelling heat within those four walls.
