Drove an hour and half to Reef-a-Palooza. Wow, AMAZING corals and awesome prices and DT's! Vendors were all super nice!
I had to control myself to how many corals to buy. Seriously, wanted to buy them all! But I did buy 8 frags. I wish I had my bigger tank or I would buy more, lol.

I just wish the vendors marked their cups so I remember which ones I bought from who!

and lots of freebies! (Love the towel, R2R!)

Going there tomorrow, should I purchase my tickets online? I got two kids and my wife coming is the line crazy long for ticket purchases? Kids don't like long lines lol. Can't wait though excited [emoji3]

 

[DracoKat]

There was a long line in the morning, soon as it opened. When I left at 1-ish, there was no line at all.

Great time. Wish I went to both days. Next year I'll use day one to talk to the vendors of dry goods and buy those and the second day to go coral crazy. Big credit to all the vendors who brought fish with them. I saw lots of them selling and I know it isn't easy to set that up!

 

[rantipole]

For someone who does not yet have a tank, this show was so educational and a little mind-boggling. Also, now that I've seen rock flower anemones in the flesh, I want them!

Cheers,

You guys put on a pretty impressive show . . .

Note to Self ... Take the time to look through your early-bird goodie-bag _while_ you're at the show, and can visit vendors' tables and claim what they have on offer!!!

Would do again. Absolutely.
