Just want to share our great and full day today.
Ajie (Arthur) invited me if I want to visit an exporter ... of course, I had to drop everything and go! I asked Mikedown (Mike) and Pugo1 (Peter) if they would want to join... and of course, it didnt take them long to say yes. Arthur introduced to us an exporter in Paranaque (Dongalo) and we were awed by what we saw... lots of good quality fishes, shrimps and stuff. We saw hundreds of Cleaner Shrimps, nice Tangs, Angels, etc. -- all good quality stuff... and we can buy anything we liked. Prices weren't exactly dirt cheap but very reasonable.. and considering its export quality, its a bargain. Mike, Peter and I got a total of 8 cleaners at P60 each... hehe not bad! Too bad that we took a long time in Cartimar so naiinitan and 4 of them died.... so hating kapatid kami sa 4 natira. Since I was older, I got 2 and they got 1 each... We also got nice quality perculas at about p35 each. We had a nice chat with the owner and it seems he is okay with members of this group to go there and buy anything we like.
We then proceeded to Cartimar and good thing they have corals already. Peter and I got a great find... we got Acans! I got the red acan and he got the orange ones (blasto something something). We were so pre-occupied that we took our lunch at almost 4pm!
After Carti, Peter, Mike and I went to Peter's place and we relly liked to look at his great tank... the T5s really looked great. What a great tank, with SPS and stuff.. and now the acan is a great addition. Seeing Peter's tank always makes me feel depressed since my tank looks like * compared to his!
I also got to see Mike's tank... ready for upgrades and soon to be a great reef... nice purple tang mike!
What a great day, don't you agree? Many, many thanks to Arthur (Ajie) for inviting us and introducing the exporter!
