Re: Liverpool Museum meet & Cains raffle with photo's

Well done everyone involved for organising such a great event. Sadly I was chasing an egg shaped ball in the North East but what a fantastic idea this has all been for such a great cause.

If Carlsberg made forums.......Big Thumbs Up

The prize winner list has been sent to Hazey and Aaron so should be posted soon. Those of you who think "Liams won a lot" Id like to point out the reason he has is down to his extreme generosity in purchasing over 20 tickets!!! Good on you Liam mate.

:012: cheers Paul, I wasn't in it to win it so to speak just to help Cain. Hoping to continue to do so too, will explain Friday when I see you. Thinking the use of facebook and twitter to make people aware of Cain's dream might help too?

I thought there would be a lot more pic's posted following this so I guess I better try and rectify that a little.
First of all behind the scenes above the display tank an area the general public don't get to see and we were very fortunate to get to see thanks to Paul and his staff.

Thanks for posting Les. The circular tank looks good on there, and the lagoon tank. For those of you who didnt come the two large fish only tanks that Les refers to are the ones that will be displaying corals soon. Some softied have gone in and obviously we had our copper disaster with the other, but hopefully by the meet next year we will have a lot more coral on display.

Corals start to arrive and myself and Clare get to work putting them in tanks. We dont bother acclimatising when we have lots at a time. But find it rarely makes any difference tbh.
