Hi folks! Reefapalooza Orlando 2019 was this past weekend and I thought I would share some of my favorite photos that I took during the event! Feel free to let me know what you think! :)

Naturally, there were several eye catching colors in every frag tank!

I found a few things to add to my wish list as well...

RAP had something for everyone, LPS, SPS, Softies and even a few NPS corals:

The fish to coral ration was like 1:500 in terms of what was for sale :rolleyes:

There were also plenty of things I would need to win the lottery to be able to afford...

Not reef aquarium related, but Hydor had a pretty niffy freshwater planted tank set up, filled to the brim with plants.

All I know is I can't wait to go back! Thanks for viewing! :D

Nice pics man! I was debating making the drive up myself. So you would say definitely worth it?
Thanks!

For $20 and a little bit of headache from dealing with Orlando traffic, oh yea it's worth it! I made my money back in free samples (some of which were full size) in a few minutes at the show! Not to mention you get to meet all sorts of folks you see around on here and elsewhere in the hobby :)

I try! It was quite tricky getting some of these shots, I sometimes had to elbow my way in just to get a clear view! Thanks though! :D

I'm looking forward to Rap Chicago in October.

Aquashella in August too.
I wish I could go to all of the shows haha, especially Aquashella since it focuses on the freshwater side of things as well. I still like a well put together planted system!

I'm in the market for wild type angels for my freshwater Amazon tank. If I don't have them by August hopefully I'll find a good source for them at aquashella as well as some corals.

A Nikon D3200 paired with a 35mm prime lens :D no other attachments were used other than a lens hood. A little bit of post processing was done as well to get the colors right.

You have skills, with a camera and post processing:)
