Gil&Fin Posted February 23, 2020 Author Share Posted February 23, 2020 Today is the day! I'm very excited! I hear there may be some O.G.'s in the house so introduce yourselves around and pick some brains while you're here. The frags are looking great. Cookies and drinks for all. *Remember--I'll be handing out RANDOM numbers at 12:45 pm, so there is no need to come early! Everyone who is here at 12:45 pm has an equal chance of getting in first.

albertareef Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 Will be there! BTW - you didn’t mention if there were beverages for Scott or not. I need to be prepared 😁. @spectra 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TaylorW Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 Thanks so much Holly! I love all my new corals especially my new orange hammer [emoji7] it was a pleasant surprise to pick #1 and be first in line to choose especially since I was probably one of the last to arrive at 12:45. And thanks to@danlu_gt for the Monti and Jamie for the zoas! Sent from my moto g(7) using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard972 Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 Thank you to Holly for inviting us into her house and fish room. Always enjoy viewing her show tank.

albertareef Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 Good time today as always. Thanks for hosting another awesome sale. Never ceases to surprise me with some of the sweet pieces available. Those orange hammers were particularly nice so congrats to those lucky folk who were able to score one of those. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ALMOST missed the orange hammers, I couldn't believe it! I was so dead set on Maxi Minis I almost overlooked them [emoji54] I believe there were only three and I got a nice two headed one!

Gil&Fin Posted February 24, 2020 Author Share Posted February 24, 2020 Thanks to everyone who came out today! I had a great time. I met some new friends and got to chat with old ones. I am so fortunate to have so much help with these sales. Shawn@DarkAngel is amazing, keeping the whole process moving and making sure everyone goes home with the right corals. We sold more than 200 corals in just 2 hours, so it is no small feat to stay organized. I tried really hard to give Sean@albertareef the day off so that he could just hang out and talk to people, but he would hear none of it and bagged like a crazy man. Thanks to Brian@pdxmonkeyboy who helped bagging and banding and providing comic relief. It is impossible to take yourself too seriously when Brian is around. I should also thank my daughter for cashiering, but she is not on the forum, plus I gave her life so she sort of owes me. Finally, I can't thank my BFF Jeff@CuttleFishandCoral enough for all he does for these sales. The list is long--everything from helping me pick out nice colonies to grow and frag, to helping all of you pick out a nice coral for your tank. Thank you!Sent from my SM-G928P using Tapatalk 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuncrestReef Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 @Gil&Fin Holly, you are a cornerstone to our local reefing community. I was lucky to first meet you at @CuttleFishandCoral when I was still very new to reefing and learned about your upcoming $10 frag sale which helped me populate my still-new tank before I really knew what I was doing. Now as I look back at my tank after 2 years, so much of my reef is populated by your amazing corals! Your generosity and hospitality is invaluable to new and seasoned reefers alike. We all love you for what you do and appreciate it more than you probably realize. Sincere thanks! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MorseReef Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 Holly, Thank you for opening up your house to all of us. You have been a great help in the 1 year that my family and I have been reefing. The first time we met you and you invited us into your house with open arms and answered all of our stupid questions. You are a great person with a large heart and we love seeing your amazing corals. I look forward to seeing you again at the next one. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
