Morning Boy's & Girl's,

Thank all of you that came yesterday. The day was only so good because of the people that could make it the 1st Victorian Reefuge get together & the 1st Reefuge get together with more then two members! :p We have a couple of "thanks" ourselves..

Thank you to...
rockerpeller & Agent M for picking out the corals for the day. (those birds nest's & that blue/purple/yellow Acro were stunning!)
Grug for taking care the shrimp demands. ($50 to the first person who can re-catch them out of our tank)
Mrs. Grug for the magnificent cheese dip! (guess what I had for my supper)
MagicJ for the huge effort of coming over from Tasmania. (See, I didn't forget to pick you up!)
All the guy's who helped with the fragging, Jen & I weren't out there but we did see Grug, Uglyman, bryce214, buddy23 & anyone else that jumped in.

EDIT- I knew I would forget a few.
A big thank you to Ernie @ Reeflections in Moorabbin & the guy's from Oceanarium for helping out with the corals for fragging.

Thank you to all who offered to help Jen out while she was running around, & helping out with the clean up after everything. (which wasn't as bad as it could have been!)
Last but not least, The Reefuge, for giving us this online sandpit to play in where everyone is equal & treated with respect. It's a shame "God" couldnt make it on the day. ( One day I'm going to track down the location of his ivory tower & drag him out into the real world!)

So so so so SO many pics where taken on the day, the award has to go to @rockerpeller's wife for sheer number of pics taken! Every time I turned around from the tank I was in her way lol. We really cant wait to see how they all came out. So get posting guy's lol.

Jen said to me last night after everyone had left, It was one of the bestest Birthday's she has ever had, house full of people who enjoy "reefing" to to talk to, great company & a fun day. (Even if she had to cook her own lunch)

Hope every one enjoyed the day, had enough to eat & drink, learnt something, made some new friend's & happy with the parcels they left with.

Ken & Jen:)

The baby Ringtail possum that Agent M bought along to amuse the kids, and some of the adults :p

And some of the beautiful fish that are lucky enough to live in this tank

I will post some more as the afternoon progresses :)
