    Reef A Palooza

    So, who is going to Reef A Palooza? Only a couple days away. I remember hearing about this so many months ago and couldn't wait for it, now it is upon us. What days are you planning on going? Anything specific you are looking to pick up or speakers you want to hear? I am looking for some nice SPS pieces.

    Also, wanted to mention there is an $8 fee to park. I guess there was some confusion about parking on another forum.

    I will be going on Saturday and then going to the ORCA meeting. I don't have anything specific to pick up. I am still debating on which speaker I want to hear. I know, I am being non-committal, but I am still deciding.

    Thanks for the heads up on parking.

    currently planing for Saturday. although my better half is interested in raffle which i understand is sun only, and there is confusion about being present to win. Would like to see Julian, and satuerday speakers.

    Looks like there are going to be quite a few manufacturers.

    and of course on the coral "just looking" wink wink nudge nudge.

    Thansk for the heads up on parking, that's kind of a bummer. (almost the cost of attendance to park)

    I keep water, last checked about 600 gallons worth.
    Problem is animals keep using it as there water closet.
    Worst of all the littlest ones keep using up all the supplies.

    Still lots to learn about the hobby but I have amassed a great collection of real beauties. I have broken past the stage of keeping things alive and now there actually growing out. Which is a big hurdle for many beginners I must admit. Good information and advise is hard to get sometimes and the club has done wonders with respect to quality advise and help in the hobby.

    Man, I had an absolute blast at RAP. I worked on Saturday morning for a few hours tearing tickets and putting on wristbands. After that I went on the search for sticks! I definitely spent too much money. I remember the days when I could spend a few hundred dollars and have a ton of frags. These days I get 4.

    I picked up a PC Rainbow Acro, UFO chalice, superman mille, WWC Somewhere Over the Rainbow mille, and a sarmentosa acro. I picked up a fragging kit and won the JBJ 20 gal AIO frag tank in the raffle.

    Great show!!!

    I was there on Saturday, but I couldn't make it on Sunday. I'm waiting for the winning tickets to be published and see if I won something.
