There are a couple of threads about RAP this weekend in Orlando, so I thought a poll would be appropriate to see who went. Let us know and feel free to share your experience and what you ended up walking away with.

Great experience, met a few people, walked away with a DOS for a Auto Water Change that I have been wanting to go online with for a very long time.:)

had to choose an option that I didn't entirely agree with. the reason i never go to these shows is they are never close enough to where i live!

The wife and I had an absolute blast! What a great experience for our first RAP! We definitely bought way too many frags and got a ton of free swag!

Frag Purchases:
Orange Aussie Hammer
5 different zoas (Blackhole Fire, Ironfist, Sunny Ds, Lunar Eclipse, and a Hawaiian morph)
Green Tipped Acropora
Blue Millipora
Bubblegum Digitata
Green Bali Slimer (I'm old-school and still get really excited about things that were cool 10+ years ago)
RFA
Florida Ricordea

And sooo much swag and foods and additives! We don't need to buy fish food or supplements for the rest of the year!

I think the only thing we will do next year is buy fewer frags and stick around longer for the raffles.

Thank you to everyone who helped put this amazing show together!

Photos showing some of the beautiful frags we were able to collect, all except for the top frag on the rack came from RAP:

Went, replenished my ricordea garden, got several can frags and a few more nice pieces. Photos will have to wait until the lights turn on. Everyone made it 36 hours in bags and a trip back to Georgia!

I added the option that the shows are too far. You can change your vote. :)

I could have gone. Just a few hour drive for me. I wasn't paying attention so didn't have time to make plans? When will RAP return to Orlando?

Wanted to thank everyone for putting on another great show. Seen some old friends, won a few prizes in the raffles, and got a few Frags. Definitely took advantage of the equipment and the deals. Here are a few pictures.

Thanks for all who helped put on the show and to all the vendors! Gets better every year! All my frags minus one Blasto (recovering slower) look to have survived the trip and dips.

I got one of those blastos too! It didn't looked thrilled when I bought it, but it's looking better since going in the tank.

Saturday was BUSY almost too busy. EXPENSIVE $20.00 per person per day..... OUCH!

Vendors were great, not so many deals at least no better than can be found on-line.

Hotel/Resort... So, so... dang EXPENSIVE! Lunch for 2 was $47 dollars, OUCH!


$50 dollar cab ride each way to the airport.

While overall the event was nice, TOO EXPENSIVE to ever attand again.


For those of us on a fixed income events like this are not affordable.

I RAP on Saturday, dang, very busy. I had my daughter with me who's not into crowds. She hung in there for as long as she could with me but I took her home after an hour and returned later during the raffle. the venue was clear and i was able to speak Vendor about product than I had the most interest in and made a great deal on a lighting fixture!
