As usual Cheryl You are right on the money :-). My conversation with Greg Morin last year is what started the whole AGA Atlanta thing. Seachem would help a lot, and they want to do it! Think Seachem tour and talks on site, etc. Plus the new aquarium makes it an attractive venue even though we don't have a lot of hoofs on the ground. My concern is that we don't have anyone to do the site visit before May and that is way to late.

I have a less difficult time with doing the convention in Dallas than having Amano again, mostly because I wouldn't have to pay for travel. Maybe this is way off in the ether, but I wonder how much help Seachem could be in planning a convention in Atlanta?
