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.
