R2R members, I'm going to jump up on my soapbox for a minute and encourage all of you to NOT buy that coral you wanted this week. You know the one, it's colorful, different and would look great in your tank. Save that $85 and use it to purchase a full conference package to MACNA 2012 now. For $85, you get to enjoy the full three day MACNA experience. :tongue:
Instead of buying a single fraglet or a MH bulb or a couple of test kits, use that same money to get three days of education, three days of shopping, two crazy nights of entertainment, and the non-stop chance to socialize IN PERSON with other hobbyists.
Reef2Reef is a big sponsor for DFWMACNA and I know David wants you R2R members to be there representing this forum. I want you there because I know you'll have a blast. My first MACNA was in 2002, and I signed up at the door for $150 to attend all three days. For $85, you get the best possible deal. Oct 1, it jumps to $109. That's why I'm telling you to not delay, because it'll only cost you more money later.
MACNA lands on the last weekend in September. Friday the 28th to Sunday the 30th, 2012. If you travel with a buddy and share a hotel room, you'll save money. The Sheraton in downtown Dallas recently had a 91 million dollar renovation, and we secured special room rates at $114 a night.
So act now. Here's the link: Homepage - DFW MACNA
And then next year, you'll only have to come up with flight & hotel funds, plus money to spend at the event. You'll get goodies from vendors, and have the chance to win some amazing gear to upgrade your current tank. Tell your spouse, your family, your boss that that weekend is taken. Nothing will impede your reefing vacation, period. Giving them one year's notice means you win that battle. :angel:
