i will be going today will there be much discount on things like externals?

 

[geo7x]

well, how did everyone find it? I went today and thought it was pretty good, got some freebies (oh yeah, PFK goodie bag ) and i was pleasantly suprised at the condition that most of the fish were kept in tbh, some were cramped with no filter or heater, but id say about half were not so cramped with heater filter.
