Long overdue: MMC and New Additions!




Wow this has really been long overdue, but the MMC (mid-west marine conference) was a BLAST! It was really great and I learned a lot. To sum it up the day began at about 6:30 as we began the drive out to Cranbrook science center where it was held. I then proceeded to check out the vending hall. There were lots of vendors and lots of live stock! Steven Pro of Icecap marine was there and had a nice ice cap both set up. I went to all the talk which included MOFIB, Sumps/acrylic, breeding, aquascaping and more. It was really great. I entered the raffle and got some nice livestock (see later). It was a total success and a great event. Here are some general pictures from the event.

Now for the goodies I picked up! (not livestock):

Some of my favorite stickers:

And of course (crappy pic) a Melev's Reef Sticker!I also picked up an aqua lifter powerhead to set up a better kalk dosing system (I will post it later)
I also got my own name tag!
Coming soon:
  • Livestock I picked up at the MMC and general tank pics
  • Setting up a kalk doser under your tank with an aqua lifter dosing pump
  • Reef Central special announcement (see the top of all forums, NOTE: this is not me posting or desinging it)
  • My Sump Project (still happening as I need more $$$ :0)

Lots of news

Last weekend I was very busy so I was not able to post all of what happened on Sunday. First off I did a CPR back pack/fuge mod which I will post sometime later this weekend. Secondly I did a large water change for trace elements. Tomorrow i am going to the Midwest Marine Conference at the Cranbrook institute of Science. There are several speakers and numerous vendors, of them Marc Levenson (aka Melev) is speaking. There is a raffle and it will be an overall fun time :) I will post more about it later tomorrow or Sunday.
