I really liked meeting other reefs.org members and putting names to faces.

I also liked a few, but not all of the presentations. I thought that Laidley's presentation on fish propagation was awesome for one example.

I also liked attending the Industry Reform Round-table. Everyone was polite - it was amazing!

I really liked the host club. They were VERY helpful.

I thought Louisville was beautiful and wish I had had more time to get out and about - the weather was wonderful.

Cheers
James

I wish I could've seen scott michael's talk. :-(

I enjoyed Mike Paletta's talk. The one on captive breeding of yellow tangs and flame angels was good, but a great deal of it was over my head.

Oh, and James is a really great guy, and Nico has an attitude (but is still cool).

we had a good time and enjoyed all the speakers (OK, I skipped one or two to hang out with vendors My major suggestion would have been to keep the raffle moving faster! Two teams taking turns pulling for different raffle boxes would have made a big difference!

But I won a sump, 10 ORA aquacultured corals and a clam in the raffle so I shouldn't complain All from various parts of Drs Foster & Smigth, who I've never seen at a MACNA before. (Our first was #11 at MACNA and we've made them all since except last year when they changed the date to conflict with our Hawaii trip).

That was my biggest conplaint. More people dealing with the prizes/raffle and maybe a table for the stuff to aid in speeding up the raffle. Other then that, it was a good show. Oh and more books next time. Get Sea Challangers out there next time, they've got loads of books.
