So I have never been to RAP and was wondering are all the same sponsors FL and NY? I would like to meet Ryan form BRS and the one and only rev.

Not all will be at every location but the big ones will be. You can look at the floor plan and already see brs will be there.

Gentle reminder - if you're there early enough to pick up a swag-bag at the door, read through it _before_ you leave!

There were a lot of coupons which I could have redeemed at various booths . . .

Never been, and seriously considering it. I'd be only able to attend one day, as I have two kids under 3. Which day would you all recommend? Or is there no difference?

I will no longer be in attendance, unless I can finagle a few minutes one day.

My daughter is attending HowlerCon at the same time, but right down the road. I was chosen as a volunteer to escort one of her favorite stars around, so kids take priority.

Hey everyone. I live in Long Island NY and am thinking about attending my first ever reef a Palooza! I'm building a Red Sea reefer 170 tank. I do not have the tank yet as I've been shopping around for deals. I was wondering if they sell tanks at these shows ? And if I could possible get a good deal on a Red Sea reefer 170? I know there's lots of live stock at the show but I'm still in the building phase and not sure if it will be worth the trip

There will be a few booths that will have displays of tanks. Planet Aquarium is one. Red Sea and few more should be there. Really excited to see a few speakers this year. John Coppolino looking forward to him. Just a great time and seeing some nice corals and new products. This will be my third year since they started. Glad they continue to come here on east. We don't get our fair share as say west coast or Florida. We need these types of shows to grow our awesome hobby. If you never been to one. I highly recommend going. Believe me your be amazed.

I totally agree about having more shows to grow our hobby. I've been out of the hobby for about 5 years and everyday killed me. On long island we have the riverhead aquarium and I'm surprised we don't attract some reef hobby shows

I bit the bullet! I finally get to go to this event. Now i read something about getting there early enough to get a grab bag. How early is early enough?

Honestly, I think it's worth going just for the things you'll learn, the accessories you'll come home with and the visions of sugarplums . . . well, the sight of all those corals (and even some fish you won't find every day at your LFS) that'll whet your desire to complete your system. It's a great way to "feed the dream".

Tail2112, if you're there before the doors open, you _should_ be OK - then again ... did you see the line at the Orlando show?! Yikes!!

Do you think they will have any to sell and take home for a good price ? Otherwise I'll buy from BRS and get the free shipping and rewards points
