Hey tell your wife to add a "1" to the front of that number. 2 frags isn't a shopping spree! Adam is the man.

Yeah $250 doesn't go very far at RAP.

Well someone should ask Adam. Although $300 is pushing it as I've been adding tangs and pieces like JF Crazy Fox chalice, WWC Pink Floyd chalice etc. The wife is pretty understanding as to the expense of the hobby. And she doesn't ask for much, so trip to Cancun... Have fun baby.

Wife is giving me a modest budget for my next reef spending spree $225-250. After that I will be put in "reefer time out" as she puts it.
So... Should I go to Reefapalooza, this would be 3 years in a row. Very cool, any coral you can think of and all the big boy venders there, i.e. JF, WWC, Cherry Corals, JKR, etc. Plus tons of swag from the vendors.
OR
Just hand my money to Adam at Battle Corals (finest SPS in the land) and let him fill me a pack for my money. He has some SWEET! acros and unaltered photos of corals. Not to mention health, chunky frags.
So help a brother out and give me a vote and or an argument as to why you voted as you did.

Neither.

I went to reefapalooza in Costa Mesa CA. I was expecting some lower cost (one vendor had some great bulk deals however) and more variety (seemed like i kept seeing SPS but I know that's not true). But I didn't get to stay very long either.

My personal choice is a local vendor which is lower than many of the neighboring fish stores.

Most vendors are willing to deal especially late in the day at RAP. But as I stated before probably get more pieces per dollar by Adam at Battle Corals. Thanks for the input.
