Reef Currents 2014

[steveb]

MARSH is very proud to announce our first annual Reef Currents trade show and educational conference, co-hosted by Steve Tyree's Coral Farmers' Market!

Reef Currents will be held at the Sheraton North Houston on Saturday, February 22nd, 2014. For out-of-town guests, the hotel is conveniently located close to the George Bush Intercontinental Airport. Shuttle service from the airport to the hotel and special hotel room rates are available for Reef Currents attendees.

We are very excited to welcome three great speakers to our event! John Coppolino, Matt Pederson, and Bob Fenner will be coming here to Houston to share their experience and knowledge with us. Their biographies can be read at this link: Reef Currents Speakers. Details will be posted in this thread on the specifics of their talks later.

Please visit the event registration page to purchase event passes and raffle tickets. We are also offering price breaks for multiple raffle ticket sheets.

You can also visit reefcurrents.org to subscribe to our e-mail newsletter to receive updates.

Please join us for a day of education, great vendors, and socializing with fellow hobbyists!

Oh do you remember reading about Sea & Reef resurrecting the C-quest clownfish line:

http://reefbuilders....aris-clownfish/

Well, one of our vendors: FJW is bringing a complete line of Sea & Reef clownfish for purchase &
for their own raffle. I don't know how many total clownfish are being raffled off, one or more?


ALSO: Thursday 11:59 pm online sales end for full passes at $35. Otherwise available at the door for $45.
Wouldn't you rather save that money for the raffle? Vendor hall still $15 at the door.
