With Reef-A-Palooza Texas right around the corner, it's a good time to talk about best tips for getting the most enjoyment out of a reef show. What do you guys say? What are some things you do at reef shows? What are your favorite things about reef shows?

Bring a cooler and cash. Don't be afraid to talk to the vendors. Ask them about their water parameters and lighting, so you know what the coral are used to. Get contact info for if you ever have follow-up questions. Have fun!!!

1) take a picture of your tank and bring it with you
2) have a picture of the show floor plan either on your phone or have a print out
3) have a list of questions that you want to ask vendors or possibly others that you will meet at the show
4) take care of you and be safe as you travel to the show, during the show, and as you travel home
5) have fun and enjoy the show!
