Congrats CAC for hitting the 1,000 member mark, :thumbup: and thanks to those offering up another great list of prizes.
What a cool way for us to share areas of our country (and fish info.) with one another.:yes:

[jewels]

Namors dog has a cap? I can not even keep up with the Jones dog!

[OldMan]

Congrats CAC on the 1000 member mark. Unfortunately I also cannot qualify to be in the contest. I would have liked to walk away with some bottom bites. I already have the ball cap.

[Namor]

Namors dog has a cap? I can not even keep up with the Jones dog!

It is my belief that everyone (and their dog) should have one. :Smile:

[Melody]

Maybe, I'll share with you...:wink:

Ok, win the wood and give it to me :Flowers3: .

Now I'm not superstitious but I realize some people are when it comes to the number 13 :eek: ... and so I thought I'd ask, do you think we need to add another prize?

[Namor]

I don't consider myself as greedy, but... OK! :notworthy:

[CACAdmin]

OK, so either folks around here aren't superstitious about the number 13 or no one really wants to admit it. :twitcy: However, I will add another prize, but will keep you in suspense as to what it is for a while... that is unless someone guesses what it is first. :wink:

[mykiss]

hhmmm.... perhaps $1000? :wink:

[CACAdmin]

:laugh: :nah: ...unless you're donating the $1000 :wink: :DevilGrin: (or I win several million on the lottery :rolleyes: )

[Gobies et al]

:Think:


Is it Bottom Bites?

[CACAdmin]

:Think:...Good guess but :nah:.

[Namor]

Leaf fish juvies? (crossing fingers).:wink:

-p.s. that is more wishful thinking than an educated guess.

-P.P.S Is it a glass etching? IMO one of those would make an awesome prize.:yes:

Geez... maybe I am greedy... lol.

[CACAdmin]

Sorry, Layton. :no: Wrong on both counts. :twitcy: And no, you're not being greedy, just curious.

[Gobies et al]

::D: maybe it's some shipping bags.... ::D:

:secret: Blaine, I think you goofed and put a couple too many zeros!

[CACAdmin]

:no:
... but you never know, you might find some of that in the 500 g of fish food provided by AllNaturalPetCare.com (http://www.allnaturalpetcare.com/) :Dunno:

We'll just have to wait and see what goodies are in there.

[blainep]

:secret: Blaine, I think you goofed and put a couple too many zeros!



:NoWay: At 5 tanks full now and growing fast !

[Melody]

I think you need to find some school tanks this Fall...lol...they love Endler's because they're small, colourful, easy and they have babies.

Don't even think about it buddy - I have every school in BC covered for Endler's I'm sure :laugh: .

As for that food, I'm thinking a sampler of a little bit of this and a little bit of that. I have some new stuff that I'm considering so the 'little bit of that' could be anything by the time the contest closes.

Hey Jay

What can I expect being the 1000th member?
How about a key to New west?

Kelly

[Melody]

I think you missed the boat by a few... how about a hotdog? They're the good kind - Top Dogs. They fortify the eyeballs and gutload the toenails in these ones. :DevilGrin:

P.S. - I don't think that counts as a post...lol.

[Gobies et al]

:NoWay: At 5 tanks full now and growing fast !

Blaine, if I don't move this fall, I'll see what I can do to help you out! :yes:

So if you come over for a BBQ, I'll know it's for my stunning good looks and winning personality. :twitcy:

I know the prize... I wanna tell! OK, I'll give you a hint, It doesn't jump right out at you, but it's very useful and it will save you a TON of money!


:SoExcited: I hope! I hope! I hope! Pick me! Pick me!


You are one of the most inspiring people I have ever met...lol....you make me want to implement every idea I've ever had. You need to be on the speaking circuit!

[Namor]

So if you come over for a BBQ, I'll know it's for my stunning good looks and winning personality. :twitcy:


:laugh: :yes:
:secret: Actually I finished off a pack of top dogs a couple of days ago. AND I think I may know what the prize is.

[Melody]

Top Dogs rock... and so do these prizes! All of the work that goes into a good forum and contests too - life is good at CAC.:yes:

[Malibu]

Forget the Top Dogs, Melody - go for jalapeno and cheddar cheese stuffed smokies... much better for you :Skeptic:

[Melody]

Now THAT'S GROSS! :laugh:

Does that help clarify things for you?

[CACAdmin]

It's the August Long Weekend here in BC. I'm not sure if I have this correct but I think Manitoba, New Brunswick and Nunavet also have a holiday this coming Monday (Aug. 3rd).

One month to go before the contest ends!


I can hear some of you now: "A month? Lots of time to enter... I'll get my 3 requisite posts in before then."

Do you know how fast that month will fly by? September will come and you'll be busy taking advantage of the last long weekend of the summer. Then, of course, any of you with kids will be scambling to get school supplies, new clothes for school, and be faced with the last minute demands of, "But I NEED it by tomorrow" :rolleyes: ... and chaos ensues. Before you know it, it'll be mid-September and the chance to enter the contest will have come and gone.

So, what are you waiting for? Take a moment today and post something interesting about your area in the My Town/Province Must See/Do… fishy too!

Cool! Thanks to all the sponsors for donating prizes, Jay for organizing yet another great contest and all the members who contributed.

[Namor]

Huge thanks to all those involved.:Applaud:

[Melody]

Congrat's to the winners and thanks sponsors!

I should define the prize I suppose...lol...I'm going to go with a sampler of all the fish food I have. You can read details of each on the auction. Ground Krill, Bottom Bites, Seaweed, fry food, etc etc etc. The Montmorillonite Clay won't do you much good unless you make your own food, so I'll let you decide if you want that to be a part of the package or not.

Glad to hear it arrived. A special thanks to Pacific Aquatics (http://www.pacificaquatics.ca/) for donating the AquaPlus!:notworthy: (Now you don't have any excuse for not doing your water changes. :wink: )

[Malibu]

Haha...the funny part is that I had just enough left to do one more water change before the Aqua Plus arrived!

[Pamelajo]

Perfect timing then!!!

[sheamurai]

Hi All!
I got my prize today, and I have to tell you all how thrilled I am with it! A lovely peice of manzanita wood, and then a second one, too, what a bonus. I've placed the one peice...now the only problem is, the peice thats left is so nice and it would fit any one of my tanks - now which one do I put it in....?
Thanks again to Aprils Aquarium and CAC!

Wooohoo!
Thanks very much CanadianAquatics - I love almond leaves!

[Gobies et al]

Thanks again toAll Natural Pet Care! The parcel arrived today. :SoExcited:

I am going to try out the seaweed flakes tonight. :waycool:

[Melody]

You are most welcome :Smile: . I like doing samplers, they're fun. I'm pretty sure that means I need to get out more :twitcy: .

Bottom feeders go for seaweed easily, the rest of the fish will often spit it out with a "You want us to CHEW something??!!", but they eat it once it softens if they're hungry enough. Definitly not a desert dish. It's very good for them though so just lecture them soundly and refuse to feed them anything else until it's all gone. :wink:

[fishclubgirl]

Got my ON cichlid veggie flakes on Thursday from Aprils. My fish and I thank you!!!

[Pamelajo]

Received my brine shrimp & daphnia starter.

Thank you Canadian Aquatics!!!!!

[blainep]

Mine has arrived as well.

Now, lets see if I can grow Daphnia ! :laugh:

Thanks CAC and Canadian Aquatics !
