** 2016 Aquatic Experience - Chicago **

[inTank]

We went down last weekend to check things out. The show keeps getting better and better. Maybe next year we'll have a booth. But so much work and consulting can get down when you're free!

 

Check these guys out. They stepped outside the relm of t-shirts and make awesome clothing at really great prices.

What we are most proud of. For 2 years inTank has been trying to get the mini jet 404 and 606 back in the US market with a 110 volt version. It's FINALLY happening! Fluval owners will once again have an ideal solution

Looks like a great time. I love seeing all the different setups. Were there 2 LupyLEDs? what was over the cube if not?

 

Also, great to see the Kessil A80 over a tank as well.

This one?

 

 

Didn't have time to do more than take this pic. Just thought they had a nice setup.

 

Kessil A80 lights up a smaller tank nicely.

[Boggers]

This is the light I was attempting to figure out.

 

 

 

 

 

Perfect tank size

Gotcha. The underside and fans say yes.

 

But sorry, I'm more of a look at the filtration guy when I see a tank

[RayWhisperer]

I notice I didn't get an invite to Joe's.....

[StevieT]

I didn't think you swing that way

[RayWhisperer]

Not normally, no. But I'd do anything for you! <3

Okay, forget MACNA. I gotta go to this.

I went on Friday and it was surprisingly packed considering the Cubs parade was going on then too. Might be worth a booth there next year. I know a vendor that goes every year and was at his house Saturday, he said they were told there were 6500 attendees. Just got an email from MASNA about them taking more control of MACNA and their email says they average 3500 at MACNA. So this show is nearly doubling that. Though, plenty of fresh water only tank people go to this one.

[ninjamyst]

Wow, 6500 seems really high. I went on Saturday, and it was pretty packed. It's a great family events too since they always have some kind of show for the kids. It was sharks one year. and this year was sea lions.

[StevieT]

Don't know if I believe the 6500 number. MACNAs have been more packed yet they may actually average it over the 29 years. And with shit shows like SAN Diego the number drops.
