Was wondering if anyone was going...

237 Centerville Rd, Lancaster, PA 17603

$10 admission fee for the frag event. Though you certainly do not have to go to the event if you just want to check out the store.

NJRC had a table there last year to promote macna. But obviously we won't be there this year for any official capacity. Anyone want to just go to shop? ;)

How was it last year? I'm already talking to my wife about it and she's on board. Though that 3 hour ride is a killer.

If you're going for the speakers I wouldn't bother. The speaking area was terrible. They were in the middle of the frag hall and you couldn't hear a word they said. There were a good amount of vendors there last year though. So if you're going for the frags and vendors it would be worth it for you.

I can't comment on the event being planned, but that store itself ROCKS!

I stopped in there when I bought my tank/stand right around the corner from them. The previous owner recommended it and man was I glad I did. Unfortunately, I was not in any position to buy any corals because I didn't have a tank setup yet to put them in. I didn't want to chance buying anything before I knew my system was ready for it. They did have a great variety of beautiful corals to buy though. I think I was most impressed by some of the large rocks that were "samplers" with a variety of frags on them. Some had a bunch of different mushrooms, some were mixed zoas, etc. They were great lil starter packs and if they weren't so far from home I may have gone back there to stock my tank. I was amazed at all the fantastic corals they had in general though.

Anyway, I will try to make this event. Sounds like a second chance for those of us who couldn't make MACNA (although I'm sure it won't quite compare.)

Hope to see some of you there.



***EDIT*** Well, Phyl already commented on my post, so I will just edit it instead of deleting it altogether, lol. I feel like such a dork, but the place I was referring to was "Something Fishy" and not "That Fish Place". Please disregard all of my comments about this store as I have never been there. :-[

I still am considering going though, even if it means I have to sneak away and head over to "Something Fishy"

LOL. Not even CLOSE! There's nothing in the world like a MACNA. Anyone who CAN get to Orlando this year SHOULD. That show should ROCK!

Yes - but at least at NCPARS you don't have to deal with figuring out how to take my livestock home from the event.

I am pondering how difficult that will be in orlando.

Was wondering the same thing, the only thing I could think of was to stay until Monday and UPS everything overnight to yourself and fly home monday afternoon. I was thinking that I would just not buy anything down there, but we all know that is not going to happen.
