About 20-30 mins north of House.

There is a metro north train that goes to beacon Jon.


Nine I was thinking of going a while ago but after a few things I decided not to, I hope you have a great time and I hope it is an extremely big success for you and the HVRK.

how was it?

 

[arconom]

It was awesome. I had the pleasure of meeting Anthony Calfo. There were many items for raffle. I won a 5 stage RO/DI unit. There was also a new style ER in the raffle. There was Pumps, A fish tank setup, and more.

The Door prizes were awesome. There was at least 2k alone in door prizes.

Tons of Corals and Fish from Vendors for auction. Lots of LE Corals which was surprising. Exotic Reef,Reefermadness,Fragfarmer, and alot other vendors that sell high end corals.

The fish were incredible and I don't even like fish.

 

[tomzpc]

It was a great time had by all. Anthony's presentation in the a.m. and fragging demo after lunch were great. Add in some great raffles, a huge livestock auction (I think that we had about 150 corals, fish, clams, inverts on the block) and about 75 reefers for some great fellowship and it all made for a fantastic day. A large contingent came down from the Albany club(CDMAS) and there were several from CTARS and NJRS as well as several unafilliated hobbyists to go along with the many HVRK members who worked hard to make it a big success.
