We have Hobby booths available for only $250 at MAX if anyone is interested in selling corals/frags/equipment/etc.
This is a GREAT deal considering all that is going on in the courtyard this year. Aquarium of the Pacific is exhibiting this year. Here is the latest floor plan: http://www.marineaquariumexpo.com/floorplan.html

It was a fun event...we saw Jason (eight) and Bonnie there, but didn't see Jeff. Since Benjamin and I both won some raffle stuff ( I won some salt - he won a bio cube) we decided not to push our luck and went home on Sunday. Though there wasn't pics of all the coral there, but I would say half the vendors there were selling coral! some really nice expense one too, but there were some great deals as well.
The pics of the reef tank at the aqurium don't do it justice, it was really nice. And the place is pretty empty on a saturday morning!
Good trip, I would do it again.
