pmang6 Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Is anyone else going? I didn't see any other threads or discussion about this so I figured I'd make a thread. With all the Florida based reef enthusiasts we have here I imagine there's at least a few of you who plan on attending. Link to comment
2020reef Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 I am going. It will be my first time going so it should be interesting. Link to comment
Halo_003 Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Wish I was going, I have to work this weekend. Link to comment
Acielot Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Still undecided. Probably not going though. Link to comment
pmang6 Posted April 9, 2015 Author Share Posted April 9, 2015 I've been to the venue before for a reptile expo; its pretty large and its all booked. I'm excited for sure! Link to comment
TeamIM24 Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 We went last year and are going again this year. Looking forward to it as it is at the same place but they doubled the size of the exhibit hall which should help. It was crazy crowded last year. Link to comment
neuwave Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 I'll be there without a doubt. Link to comment
FlowerMama Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Wish I lived closer or I'd go for sure. Link to comment

Wish I lived closer or I'd go for sure. It's really too bad you can't come, it looks like a ton of fun. Btw, how is your nem tank going? Last I saw you were treating an algae outbreak, did you get it cleared up? All your nems looked sweet! Such a cool animal. Link to comment

Last I saw you were treating an algae outbreak, did you get it cleared up? All your nems looked sweet! Such a cool animal. Still workin' on it. I didn't feel like checking tonight but I took out 4 gallons of sand/water to remove the top layer yest. I think it's getting better. Eventually the crap has to die, I'm not feeding the tank.

cswan19 Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 I'd like to go. Does anyone know if tickets can be purchased at the door? Or did we have to already buy them online? Ive been to a couple other small reef shows and just paid at the door when I got there. But it just hit me that this is a big reef show and it might possibly be filled or something? Hopefully not as I had been planning on going. Link to comment
CrazyEyes Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Yeah you can buy tickets at the show. Link to comment
cswan19 Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 cool, thats what I was hoping! Thanks for the reply Link to comment
jamescstein Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 wondering what the lines for door tickets will be like and if it would make sense to purchase them ahead of time.... Link to comment
cswan19 Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 wondering what the lines for door tickets will be like and if it would make sense to purchase them ahead of time.... Thats a good point. I just went ahead and bought mine online Link to comment
FlowerMama Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Maybe all you who are going can meet up at a certain time while you're there to meet each other, nah, you'll all be running to booths fighting over corals. Link to comment
frank2818 Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 I've never been to an event like that. How were the equipment prices compared to online ? Link to comment

2020reef Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 This reminded me of the feeder tank at petco Link to comment

cmb2104 Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 We went the last few hrs and scooped up some last minute deal at closing! My brother actually got one of the $10 Orange stars!!! Link to comment
JMCollins24 Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Saw some cool things but was a little underwhelmed.. I did pick up a nice rainbow bta for cheap and a nice sun coral colony! Weird that IM and Ecotech wasn't there.. Link to comment
