I'm leaving for an overseas trip on the Tuesday after so I've got a bunch of prep to do over the weekend. Although, I could use a photography lesson. I've got a little cheapy Nikon point-and-shoot that's decided to completely freak out when I try to take pictures of my 125 and for some reason completely blows out the greens but still doesn't have enough light to take clear pictures of anything but stationary fish.

The hope of dollar plants was the whole reason I stuck it out. Even bags of val were still going for $3 or $4 in the last hour. I got one really ratty sword for a dollar but everything else was over $5. Great for the sellers, I guess, but like I said, disappointing for me. Nope, which was disappointing.

By the end of the auction, had the prices on most things fallen off since folks were tired? If I recall, that's when the deals could really be had at the AquaFest auction a year ago. Sounds great OG.

There just weren't that many fish that I was interested in (and boy was I tired of hearing "Another bag of angelfish!" by the end of the night) and I was trying to keep my spending down on the plants.
