Does anybody know how coral vendors throughout the country deal with the challenge of storing live stock related to what is happening in September/October with two events like Macna and Reef Palooza in Anaheim, Ca. a month apart? Does WWC, JF send all the live stock from Vegas back to east coast for 30 days to then send back out to California? Do they have other choices?
 
Hehe, me three!!! One thing they could do is what ever doesn’t sell, arrange with local pro vendors to buy lot at nice wholesale discount? I guess when I am at Palooza in October, l’ll just ask Jason ... :-/
 
My guess is they drive their livestock to the show. No other way to do it and still be able to keep an eye on things 100% of the time.
 
Most I have seen arrive with them from were ever they came from. The goal is to try to sell as much as possible to come back with a much lighter haul. Some I have seen even sell the light they use in these events.
