Question for those that have attended Reefapalooza

[H2OPlayar]

You can find pretty good sales at the end of the 2nd day when vendors are trying to clear stuff out.

I can second this for most reef shows, I've gotten great deals at the last 30 minutes if you are willing to spend some money to meet them half way.

I guess the next logical question would be, does anyone have any contacts that could be reached out to in order to try to tour some of the facilities. Assuming if you can make arrangments and set up things far enough in advance might open up the possibility.

As opposed being that weirdo off the street randomly showing up there knocking on their door lol.

It’d be cool but I honestly don’t think I’d have time. I think im going to end up just going one day. Possibly spend the night and then come back the next morning early

I've been to the NY/NJ Reefapalooza back in 2019. I think 1 day is more than enough. I chose to go the 2nd day to get better deals, but if you want free swag and samples go the first day. Some vendors even sell their frag tanks so they don't have to bring it back home.

Go to Harry's Marine Life in Gardena before you drive back home. They used to be a wholesaler only, but now are open to the public. They are closed Saturdays, but are open on Sundays.

I was going to go but they were closed. I will definitely stop by there.
