nice.. thinking if I should set up a table

I think you should.There alot of aio tanks floating around on the local boards.Might have a good day with it.

If anything it would be fun to show off the product, I will have to get my crew cracking on inventory, it doesn't stick around long.

I was just thinking. With the amount of products I sell it may be easier to just give away free shipping coupons. Even do orders through my site right then and there but ship later. Small items like underwater lights could be sold but screw trying to bring more than one of each product.

I think I am going to be in, never done a show or even a frag swap before. You guys scare me

Oh man just wait i know some good vendors are showing.Midwest saltwater has crazy amount of lps.Tons of acans etc and the madison guys have some awsome stuff for cheap all the time.Will be a great time and im sure you will enjoy.

inTank has 8 feet of table booked for this event! Come one come all and make fun of my crappy crap. I will be enjoy watching all struggle to set up tanks full of frags. You guys are nuts!

See you Saturday Sept 19th

It's worth going just for the Midwest Saltwater setup alone. You can't see colors like that anywhere else.

Who's doing presentations?

I might make the trip.Need to talk to a buddy. We would get to meet the famous StevieT Can we go ahead and request autographs?

I want a Intank shirt if I come. You gonna have those? XL please because I am a Phat arse.

sweet cant wait.Im gonna bring some one with a some what stock sea max that you can help.





Not sure on that yet.Where are you located?I agree midwest section is crazy.Acans acans and acans.

Paul has been nice enough to provide a table for a dry goods table. We will have at least one person at the table at all times.

If you want to sell your items, please clearly mark them with Name, Cell Phone Number and price. If people are interested, they can call you, and you can meet at the table to finish the deal. We will not sell the items for you, unelss you want 100% of the proceeds to go to WRS/DW

Please post any questions in this thread.

wet thumb frags is coming now also all the way from la.They are well known for oddball clowns and high end frags

Interested in seeing how they are transporting that from LA

Right thats alot of work.I guess they had a big thing in the milwaukee journal other day and will be on milwaukee news on two different channels.One friday and one on sat.Its gonna turn out well i think.

over 200 pre registered people as of today.I think thats alot considering the trouble of doing the pre registration and guessing that will be a whole lot more that show up and just pay the reg price.

I will be there about 11:00 or so.

wet thumbs came in all the way from LA. Tina has her table right next to mine. It was very impressive to see the way they transport their corals.

See you all there.
