A Walk Through Reef-A-Palooza 2014 (Pic Heavy!)

I wouldn't have been able to pass up those prices on test kits either.

 

My guess as well.

 

Lol not my brother as far as I know that is.

I was cracking up at work this morning.

 

I envy you guys getting to attend these events around the country. They look amazing.

Now we just need someone to sponsor one in Kansas City....

 

Matt, thanks for the awesome write-up! On behalf of SCMAS, I would like to thank all the vendors and attendees who made the show what it is today. We are not only the largest marine aquarium show, we are also regarded as the best aquarium show! We are most fortunate to have a good core group of loyal volunteers that help the show run like a well oiled machine. It's amazing how many things did not go as planned, however we made sure neither the vendors nor the attendees knew anything different. My hat is off to the SCMAS membership who were hard at work for this glorious event!

Coming to Reef-A-Palooza can be worked into a family vacation. There are tons of things to do in So Cal. I am sure Matt would agree, you cannot find this magnitude the variety, quantity, nor quality of coral at any other show. RAP brings out the best of the best and because of the fierce competition, prices are low. That is the biggest advantage that the attendees have. They come home with more bang for the buck!

Our raffle was insane. over the 2 day event we held 5 raffles and only each one was better than most event's total raffle. We raffled at least 5 full aquarium set-ups in a variety of sizes up to 120g, iPads, GoPro cameras, pumps, controllers, LEDs galore, RO/DI units, nearly 15 frag tanks, clams, gift certificates and more.

With three Reef-A-Palooza's nationwide, there is really no excuse not to become of the RAP veteran's in 2015.

 

Well said Greg. I hope to make the one in Florida next year as well. Regardless, I've said for years, you have to check out Reef-A-Palooza. It is a special show.

Thanks - yeah the one with Tony is me!
