GSAS Auction Haul

For those of us that attended, what did you guys manage to snag?

I'll start:

For a grand total of $7, I brought home:

• A perfectly functioning Rena XP3
  
• A bag of various powerstrips
  
• A huge bunch of Pogostemon Erectus
  
• 2 big bags of Water Lettuce & Salvinia
  
• Some Bolbitis Heudelotii
  
• 3 ABN's about 3" long
  

I think that was about it.

Whoa thats a deal , rena xp3 and others for $7..crazy.

Yeah, my total sales were $33, that plus 5 fishbucks for helping out brought the total to $7. Though some people made out with with some killer deals, there was one guy who snagged a 1 1/2hp reef chiller for a little over $100. Those things are pushing a grand or more brand new!

I think the chiller would have gone for more if it wasn't going to a charity

The real steal of the day was the 40 gallon acrylic piece of art aquarium with finnex light... I think that went for 120 bucks.

I made out with a fluval 106, hydor inline heater and a bunch of water lettuce.

I also pillaged one of swamp-rat's sterbais (like this one:)

That tank was amazingly nice and that was a killer deal. I was super jealous.

I got plants...lovely plants

Persicaria sp. 'Kawagoeanum'
Rotala colorata "Singapore"
Red Ludwigia
Wormwood log covered in Hygro Pinnatifida
Finnex 12" light

There was a lot more I wanted and bid on but lost out to others. It was a great day all in all.

I bought several books, a 125 g tank, 3 bags of guppies, 4 species of African cichlids from Lawrence kent, a couple light fixtures, a 3 gallon tank, oh and a bunch of plants.

Oh yeah! I forgot my favorite haul item! A collection of "The Rainbow Times" from 1991 to 1998 from Gary Lange! Totally worth the splurge!

 <--- green with envy

I picked up 4 20s and 55 with metal stand, UV sterilizer, co2 reactor, 3 bags of montazuma swords, two male Apisto Kellrie, moss/moss/moss, and a few other things. My total was $98

Corys tank went waaaaaaayyyy to cheep.  I ment to talk my fience into it. The 48" Current LED that went for $60 was a deal too!!!

I went, but didn't get anything since I pretty much had everything I needed lol, just wanted to check out the auction. 48" Current LED for $60 is crazy, bought mine for $120 brand new >_<
