Welcome to Reef2Reef's 20th Birthday Party!
Get ready to THROWBACK with the biggest and best party Reef2Reef has ever thrown!
Retro Swag - An Epic Live Show - Over $42,000+ in amazing prizes from your favorite reefing brands!

It's got us saying...OOHHHH YEEEAHHHHHHH...

​

What's up, Reef2Reef aka R2R, aka CLUB ZOA! Can you believe it's been 20 years since our community got its beginnings? We sure can't. Over the last two decades, we've shared the honor and thrill of creating a space for reefers from all over the world to share their knowledge, ask questions, and build lasting friendships. What started as a quaint corner of the reefing interweb for zoa fanatics has grown into the biggest family our reefing world has ever known. And it has been an absolute BLAST! And we want to celebrate this incredible milestone with a Birthday Bash that is a blast from the reefing past!

Partner Drive is getting a birthday makeover! This year, instead of our traditional Partner Drive, we're celebrating Reef2Reef's 20th Birthday Bash. But don't worry...all the things you've come to love, including incredible giveaways, amazing account perks, awesome swag, and community fun, are still here...just wrapped into one giant birthday celebration! Your 20th birthday only happens once, so we want to do it right!

This is a limited-time event! Join today to secure your invitation to Reef2Reef's 20th Birthday Bash and become a Birthday Bash Member!

B-DAY PARTY ENDS ON SEPTEMBER 6TH 2026!

​

What is a Birthday Bash Member? This is just like becoming a Partner Member, which is a premier upgrade designed not only to enhance our reefing community but also to deliver exceptional benefits tailored for dedicated enthusiasts like you.

R2R offers multiple opportunities for individuals to contribute to the community forum. This can include active participation, fostering a welcoming environment, making purchases from our sponsors, and offering financial contributions, among other options.

Each year, we introduce a special membership category known as the Partner Membership, which is available for a limited time. This is a premier upgrade designed not only to enhance our reefing community but also to deliver exceptional benefits tailored for dedicated enthusiasts like you. This membership allows contributors to invest in the forum, and in return, they receive special recognition, exclusive member benefits, R2R merchandise, and the chance to win exciting prizes. And this year, none of these aspects are changing! We're just wrapping it in a birthday bow with birthday-themed EVERYTHING to commemorate this incredible milestone for our community!

Your support is crucial to R2R's expansion across various areas, allowing us to allocate more resources to projects, upgrades, site development, and other initiatives.

Become a part of our Birthday Bash and unlock a world of amazing benefits just for you! As a valued Birthday Bash Member, you'll snag some awesome Reef2Reef gear, exclusive Premium Member Perks for the year, and multiple chances to win incredible reef gear, gift certificates, and stunning coral from our generous sponsors, with prizes totaling....

We will start assigning physical ticket numbers to each Birthday Bash Member as we process the orders. This may take anywhere from days to weeks, as we assign each ticket individually. We appreciate your patience during this time. Please be assured that all tickets will be issued before the drawing. If you have any questions or concerns while waiting for your tickets, please don't hesitate to contact us through our Contact Page.
