davelin315 July 12, 2010 Share July 12, 2010 Thanks to all of the individuals who donated not only their time, but corals (and LEDs!) to the FFE. Also, a huge thanks goes out to our sponsors who always take care of the membership with fantastic prizes such as Avast Marine Works with a media reactor, Dr. Mac with some Aussie Corals, Fins and Feathers with a huge 35+ head Duncan, www.FishNReef.com with fragging tools and supplies, Reef eScape with a bunch of corals and supplies, and Mr. Coral for gift certificates for each member who walked in the door! Also thanks to our sponsors who continue to support us (we had some miscommunications that resulted in not being able to get things to the meeting today) including Blue Ribbon Koi and Marine and Marine Scene. Please be sure to say thanks to all of our sponsors when you're in their store next and let them know how the frags you received are doing!
