I will next year.

Its free for non profit reef clubs to go and sell corals. Vendors it cost them like 800$ to set up a booth.

Already got a bunch of corals growing out to sell as a club fundraiser.

Not enough help this year. Selling stuff, switching people out so they can check out RAP.
 
Well......I just got the news that I get a Birthday Roadtrip with the family to reef-a-palooza (first time ever) and just got a hotel room and also signed up for the Neptune presentation ..... so excited....

My question is this ...

Iis it $15 for each day or is it $15 per person for the weekend.....and ....do you buy tickets before this event or do you pay at the door????

Thanks for the info and if you have any suggestions for an first timer please let me know....
 
Does anyone have a answer to my question on ticket price $15 for the weekend or daily & when/how to purchases them?

Last year we just got our tickets there. Was like 15 per day and there was a coupon in reef hobbyist for like 5 off or something. Ended up giving that away and going with their get in early wristband combo thing. Was more money but I wasn't about to try and stand in that line and then make it through the show.

its $15 per day - buy at the door.

I have been before its fun.

Mike I will help do a booth!

They also have a big flea market on the weekend there too so make your you go to the right entrance.
 
Its a little too late for a booth this year.

Usually want some corals donated so we can raise some funds for the club. And gotta ask for a booth.

Lets set up a booth next year for sure :D

Ill ask ya to help out!


But more importantly @Apon when is the Tank Tour?!

We need something to do for October. No events happening

Great to see you guys are excited to come down. We got an awesome event planned!
We will be once again doing the early entry wristbands. I think they are $40 for the weekend.
If you guys are wanting a booth for next year, please complete the registration as early as possible.
