Believe next years is going to be held in Cincinnati, Ohio.
I have no choice but to make it next year though, regardless of where it is. I will have missed three years in a row now counting this one, and thats just not acceptable.

I might have to carpool with a few guys here than. They go down there every year for the cichlid extravaganza.
There are already amazing fish up in the show room. I am very tempted on buying a few more discus...
I personally was stunned by some fish. (Some are amazing, but a little young, there are a bunch of huge ones, and the Discus, holly smokes.)
Anyways I was working from 8am to 10 pm. I am dead tired. Here are a few more pictures. (Show room and rental room.) Unfortunately I was so busy I didn't get a chance to meet many people. (And I was dead tired by the end so I just had to get home and now I am off to sleep.) The good news is I don't have to do much till Friday now. (I just really only have to pick up the 30 odd boxes of donated fish.)
The only real problem we had is that people have managed to break about 16 or so tanks... and well all the extras already had been claimed. So sadly we don't seem to have enough for everyone.
Some pictures.
This is what I came back too: Most tanks were full, but the rental tanks needed a lot of work. Stands weren't all made, but they ran out off wood.
Everyone got to work, Kirsten and I got the air flowing. (We did a good job even if I say so myself, there is if anything a little too much air.)
Rental room up and running. (It was fun getting that tubing in the middle, we lost at least 1 tank from it...)
And the show room again, people are unloading. (I will likley be taking a decent amount of pictures of fish... I will likely make a new thread without prep.)
There were some frayed tempers today, and I am sorry if I snapped at anyone. But all in all I think it went well again. (We just know order 50 tanks extra next time...)
Oh and we can't have any heaters on the tanks. The rooms are at 80 degrees. Sadly if we put heaters we would loose power since the fuse box can't tank it. And there are many more people than I showed here (even though registration opened at 5 pm)... I sort of didn't get to taking pictures till late this time.
