Not going, something else came up.

Kai, Sunday would be best as vendors don't want to bring a bunch of livestock back.

I was there today because I won tickets at Reefapaloosa. There is mainly freshwater vendors but the few coral vendors had stuff. The freshwater shrimp were interesting and I got 2 hanna checkers cheap. Reefapaloosa set the bar high for me so I was slightly not as impressed. Maybe it will ramp up? I may go back Sunday to the lighting presentation by Sonja at 1030.

Darn should've thought to ask. Oh well. I wasn't in the market anyway.

I went today, it was neat. A bit (lot) disappointed in the shark thing, three nurse sharks in a fairly small tank and then a person dives in there with them to touch them how many times a day... then they are transported again to go where and do what exactly? I don't know the details, this is just my observations so if anybody knows more to help me feel a bit better for those poor creatures let me know.

There were a few stands with corals, lots of expensive stuff, I saw a $750 bounce coral... but there was a stand or two that had a handful of $10 frags. I'd say the average was 25-60. But I got a cool selection and at least knew better not to pay $20 for a frag of pulsing xenia. I got some new zoas, a mushroom, ricordea, a rock nem, and an encrusting coral. One of the frags even had a brittle star on it so I was super excited, and the peroxide dip on the zoas revealed a number of not so pleasant tag alongs.

I can understand an appeal in freshwater now after looking at the nano aqua sculpting competition, those were pretty cool. Though try as I might I just do not understand the shrimp contest...

I went today with wife and godson. my wife who has been to a few frag swaps and RAP with me said "they dont have a lot of stuff". I'd say about 5 coral vendors, a ton of shrimp and freshwater fish vendors. not too much reef equipment. its definitely a show for kids. lots of things for them to do. I think best is to go tomorrow for some really good deals since lots of vendors wont want to bring things baCk with them. looks like i got a lot more left to spend next week at the meeting at Fengs!!
