    This weekend is Reef-A-Palooza - an absolutely fantastic reef aquarium show that is a veritable frag-fest coupled with cool new products and great speakers. If there is a chance you can make it to Costa Mesa, CA. this weekend, you will not be disappointed. In fact, we want to help. We are going to giveaway a couple pairs of tickets right here on this thread. It will be a random draw, but tell us why you want to go and a little about your tank to make it interesting.

    Nice, free admission to RAP would be cool with me. If I win I only need one ticket though.
    I am going because its only a 4 hour drive for me. I was going to sell my tank so I listed my corals for sale and sold almost everything off. But, I found a way to keep my tank and now have to restock it. I am primarily going to look for clams but we all know how that goes, I am sure I will come home with a "few" frags.
    Now a little about my tank:
    100g RR acrylic tank with a 50g sump. I have 6-80w T5 bulbs by ATI and 2 fans to help keep it cool inside the canopy. I use a mag9.5 return pump and a wavemaker with 4 Koralia 1050's to mix up the flow. For a skimmer I use a SWC 160. I run carbon in a TLF reactor as needed. For livestock I have a few medium clams about 6-8" each(hopefully I will get more), some sps left as well as a few lps and softies. Nothing too special, but its mine and I like it.
    Thats about it.
    Thanks for the chance at free admission.

    How about the 2nd person?

    :cheesy:
    I will be there for sure Saturday and free tickets would be AWESOME! However, if you don't give them to me I am going anyway!
    I have a 6 MO old 180 tank. A bit bummed right now because I think I have ICH but trying to fight through it. Will be looking for equipment for a quarantine tank. I upgraded from a 75 I had for 3 years and everything has survived. Very happy with my results, I put my tank on heavy duty casters so I can move it around, it is awesome.

    Thanks and see you all Saturday.
