If you go... I'll go!

 

[MadMax]

I am working on a special rate for forum operators and other MAX business partners who wish to exhibit at Marine Aquarium Expo. The Courtyard 10'x10' booths are perfect for this; being near all the action such as speakers, raffles, workshops, club booth activities, etc. If you've got the means to come to Southern California in early April (largest concentration of reefers in the entire world) then I highly recommend doing so. You can't possibly get more promotional "bang-for-your-buck" anywhere! I promise you that!

This map depicts the number of dedicated "Reef" stores within a 50-mile radius of MAX (over 100)
This image is over a year old, so quite a few more stores have been added since.

 

[MadMax]

Merry Christmas everyone!
I trust you all had a wonderful time with your families and friends.
I hope you are optomistically Looking forward to the new year.
We wish you all the best!

Sincerely,
Kevin Adams

I think i'll need to make a run down your way check things out.

Reefboy, you should look into becoming an exhibitor at MAX.....there are going to be upwards of 3,000 people at this event; you'd make a killing with the corals you've got for sale!

 

[reefboy]

I'll look into that ive got a few months , do you provide tanks for frags or is it bring your own equip, otherwise ill need to design a portable tidepool.

 

[reefboy]

I was told that tyree will set up tanks for us to use do you know about this? if not I think we'll come down to just meet folks and get a feel for next year.

 

[MadMax]

Tyree has frag systems for "rent" at significant cost; they are not free.....and CFM is approximately 1/6 the size of MAX

It would be virtually impossible for us to supply equipment to 100+ exhibitors.

We do supply the space, pipe-and-drape walls, 8-foot tables, table-cloths, chairs, 20-amp electricity, and even saltwater. More importantly, we bring together literally thousands of marine hobbyist/buyers in a single location.
