Hey there all........be going to RAP myself and would be cool too meet up with a bunch of you.

I actually had off work yesterday and made the day into a coral sightseeing trip of sorts with some nice purchases at a couple guys local to me.

One by coincidence was Wojtek that you mentioned. His systems were really loaded up with some great pieces of all different kinds. Just got a huge shipment in of some really nice Flower Nems if that's your thing.

The other guys place I stopped at yesterday in Chicago that is somewhat newer to being a vendor at the shows is Ryan Cunningham of Chummingham's Reef.
I have heard his name come up in chatter when I'm talking shop with the guys in the hobby about corals. And I have checked out some of his Facebook vids.

Guys I can only HIGHLY RECOMMEND you do your due diligence and hit this guys booth early for best selection......although all his stuff is incredible.
One look at the quality and color of his pieces and you'll soon realize that "Chumm" is very serious about his craft and work.

I contacted him yesterday and asked if he had time to let me come take a look at his stuff and he gave me the go ahead. I got there and took one look at his aquarium and the jewels he has stocked in there and my jaw dropped!!

He has such an incredible assortment in that aquarium I was like a kid in a candy store.
His Acans so colorful and puffed, killer Euphyllia, Chalice, Scoly, Zoa, you name it. And I had no clue his SPS collection was as vast as it is.

I personally found his prices much better than the norm. And when he gave me his numbers on what I was interested in there really wasn't any reason to negotiate further unless you want to insult him.....as he was very fair. And I think you know the drill by now in that wherever you go the more you spend the deal or thrown ins as a thank you get sweeter as you go.

You snooze u lose boys!! Check him out and tell him UPS Craig sent you and get hooked up with some AWESOME frags at GREAT prices.
