REEFAPALOOZA

johnyboy · May 17, 2016

Hey reerfers,

I am going to reefapaloza NY June 25 or the 26. My question is which day is better? The first day Saturday or the second day Sunday. I am thinking Sunday because prices will be better since no one wants to bring corals back to their store. I'm just worried it's going to be empty on Sunday and I'll be so mad. So anyone who has been to reefapaloza share please! Thanks guys.

I plan on going through Saturday and picking anything I may think is a must have (ok everything is) then I'll stop by Sunday to try to find any deals!

If you can do both days this would be your best bet. It's a great show.

Will it be empty Sunday or no? I'm just worried it'll be totally empty if not I'll deff go Sunday

Nope both days were packed last year, sundays just a tad bit less crowded during the afternoon thats all. Cant come soon enuff!!

Go both days.
Saturdays you find the cool stuff
Sundays you get the deals

I just went to reefaplooza in Orlando on Sunday and it was busy. I would also say the deals would be better on Sunday because I could see the prices crossed off and lowered as the time went on.

Never been, but I've got my mind set on going Sunday.

('Cause I'm working on Saturday . . . )

I'll hunt the elusive deal, but since my tank is so close to "full", I'm mostly going for learning and atmosphere.

both days are great, raffles each day, or course tons of corals... but don't forget there are a handful of speakers sharing their knowledge as well. idc who you are, you can always learn something new, especially in this hobby!

Get some pics please. Try to get insight on the new Tunze Powerheads...

Sort of like get there at the opening of the show if you are looking for certain corals as they will not be there too long. It's like going to the LFS on the day the their shipment comes in. You get first choice.

They will not be out for the public till the end of next week at InterZoo.

I went both days this year in Orlando. Bought the certain SPS frags I wanted then on Sunday got deals on others.

rantipole · May 18, 2016

I'm going for the first time ever but can only go on Sunday. My company is sending me, which is awesome!

Cheers,

When you buy a frag, do they ship it for you? Or do you take it with you and hope for the best?

SpikeWire · May 25, 2016

We're driving down from Boston for both days. Very psyched

I'm sure most folks will carry their frags home - I know I will - but then again, I live just a couple of hours from the venue, and that's an easier trip than a shipper's likely to provide.

You'd have to ask individual vendors about shipping, I'd think.
