    Love your videos. Thanks for sharing your parameters and for your honesty. I was planning to go to Reef-a-Palooze in 24 but not sure now. I always to go AquaShella. I live in Florida and will most likely try this one once.

    Moving to the area this summer and getting back into the hobby. Bummed I missed this year by a few months but excited for next years. Glad your channel popped up as a suggestion. Any reef clubs to look for in the area?

    I was there too, went both days. and I have to agree with you. Somehow there were fewer vendors and exhibitors that in past years. I used to always come back with a ridiculous amount of swag and this time the bags were pretty light. I’m not sure what happened. Like you said a good time but they need to do better with getting back vendors and exhibitors.

    I went Saturday afternoon and thought same thing, show wasn’t as good this year. Still had a good time and feel I got a few good deals. But ya wasn’t as many coral vendors to me and most prices where high. I noticed few who where completely full of frags, to expensive so won’t sell

      Lol yep. Hey are these 50 bucks… no it has 2 heads. 125. Lol, it happened to me
      Was also disappointed that no 1 was giving stuff away. Every year I leave with all kinds of stuff like food, towels, glasses, etc… this year the only spot I saw was reef 2 reefs stand giving bag and stickers (which was cool). I told myself maybe economy different so vendors can’t this year??
