Official RAP NY Photo Thread!!

[OrchidMiss]

We got there yesterday around 12. Hung around for 2 hours. Got few frags. Deals to b had but also good amount of telephone numbers. @RiptideAquaculture Mitch making deals. Ty for the Easter egg w the monti purchase. Especially on the lords 5 for 100. Some cherry sps too. Fifth alarm fire had some nice frags and zoanthids.com always. Caught up w JF and got a nice pimped out tenuis and a yellow tip for a good deal. Ultimate corals had some nice WD for 100. And other nice frags. Smaller then I thought it would b and clam selection was limited. Pacific east had a great deal on healthy clams but no squammy which was what I was looking for. Glad to see Mr Sprung in attendance. One of The Godfather’s of the hobby. And shout out to my @Absolutely Fish people in attendance on the hunt for the next best thing. Lol. Good crowd. Good experience. Glad we are back to a somewhat new normal. Happy Reefing.

Sad I missed ya!!
I had to run out and grab a few things for @RiptideAquaculture
Was a really great time!

Why do the vendors all display under Kessil lights? Because they're super-ultra blue and bring out the colors?

Not all vendors had kessils? I saw a ton with Chinese black box led and also a good amount of ai primes. As per kessils I'd imagine it's the go to for smaller size tanks, also since the frag tanks most used are also shallow... seems pretty overkill to put an xr30 over a tank with 6 inches of water, unless you want 800 par.

Hmm, good point. Of course I saw other brands, I was just surprised that everywhere I turned, vendors had Kessils.
