2016 Reef-A-Palooza dates announced

[mnat]

I don't know if everyone saw the dates but:

Orlando: April 23-24
New York (really New Jersey): June 25-26
Cali: Nov 19-20

Not going to make Orlando, but I think New Jersey should be a good event.

Yeah it was a blast last year, and I think it is only going to get bigger/better.

I had a blast and can't wait as well.

Now we just need to have them correct the name.....New Jersey Reef-A-Palooza.

I'm tired of being second fiddle!

What can one expect at Reef-A-Palooza? Vendors selling fish + corals? New products? Paul dancing in scuba gear?

How did you know I was on Dancing With The Star-----Fish!

Basically a mini MACNA that you don't have to go all the way to San Diego for. Fish, corals, dry goods and just about anything else you can think of. Last year was the first year for a northeast RAP, so they are only going to build from there. I know the 2016 floor plan is getting pretty close to sold out and we are still over 6 months away. Should be fun.

I'm going to go this year, looking forward to it. May convince the girlfriend to come too!

What vendors sell fish? I wish Dr. Jim was still selling QT'd fish.

I know POTO had fish but I believe that was it. There were some others but they were wholesalers but they wouldn't sell.

The real question... When is the NJRC Swap...

Next fall

Went last year and that is where I got my first Kessil light and got a fire shrimp that I been looking to get. Hopefully I can make it this year as well.

We have a booth

New York

 

[redfishbluefish]

Marcus, we had a booth last year as well.....it's part of the deal we have with them as far as supplying volunteers to work the show....we get a "free" booth.

Sweet, well put me down to volunteer this way I don't roam around and spend a bunch of money

I thought this was the whole point of this hobby?

 

[Trio91]

What I was thinking of doing is holding off till RAP to stock my tank with fish. Cuz I know I'm gonna see something there that I'm gonna want to toss in the tank.

I can't do it, I have too much stuff as it is. So if my mind is occupied then I'm less likely to wander around with my wallet wide open

 

[Trio91]

this may be a dumb question, but do we have to pay for a ticket to the event? being that we are volunteering i wasn't sure. last year i paid but as a civilian ( i wasn't part of the reef club then)
