WOW!!! MACNA XIX!

Well, it was one great weekend! That's for sure!
People converged on Pittsburgh's ExpoMart on Friday for a great show!

Friday started off with a MASNA board meeting and then the show opened up! 5 speakers throughout the day, including Pittsburgh's own Steven pro!

The vendors had their booths assembled and ready to go!
There was everything from 8' skimmers to huge ZeroEdge Aquariums, and several coral/fish vendors! The exhibitor area was spacious, clean, and very well layed out! Great job guys!

There was speaker after speaker thru out the weekend and a huge raffle with BIG prizes!!!! A huge UV sterilizer, a Solaris LED light system, A 4' T5 system from Aquactinics, and the ZeroEdge Aquarium on display were just a few of the really big prizes!!! Thanks to all of those generous sponsors! Lots of people went home very happy!

Friday night ended with a sponsor provided open bar and Dr. Bruce Carlson of the Georgia Aquarium showing us a presentation of the Aquarium!

Saturday ended in a great dinner with yet another sponsor provided open bar! Dr. Gerald Allen came all the way from Australia to give a great presentation!

A special thanks to Steven Pro and Adam Cesnales for putting together a great event!!!

Now without further adieu...The pictures!!!!!!

Oh Boy, Oh Boy more pictures! Hey Chuck, you look way too young to be so smart!

P.S. Dr. Carlson looks in his picture like he is saying " And it was this BIG". :>
