Reef-A-Palooza Orlando 2022 is COMING SOON!

[MaxTremors]

No, and I have no desire to go. Don’t get me wrong, I’d enjoy looking at all the corals and new products and stuff. When I was a kid my parents owned video stores, and I used to love going to all the trade show and conventions, but as an adult I just can’t stand the lines and the crowds, it’s just too much, too over stimulating.

 

[Spicy Reef]

I have a u-tube for my reef and I participate here FB etc... but Reef-A-Palooza is a whole other level
not for me

 

[design.maddie]

Nope, should be buying a new house in a couple weeks.

 

[flashsmith]

I'm within 30 minutes. Just can't justify spending $60 for 2 tickets and parking. It's not the money. I look at it as that's a really nice frag or 2 or maybe a fish or maybe some supplies/food etc... I know what's out there so it's a waste of money with very few actual deals to be had to me.

 

[Billldg]

I will be there.

 

[AIRDADDY]

Money is a little tight this year so I'm only going the last day to get in on those close-out deals.

 

[Freakmachine01]

Yes, yes, yes. I will Definitely be there. It's only 1 hour from my house

 

[GuppyHJD]

I will be there.
Wish you didn't have to be there at 5:30 for the raffles

Money is a little tight this year so I'm only going the last day to get in on those close-out deals.

Good luck...last year, the show was Morning / Afternoon tickets so I got Sunday Afternoon tickets...and alot of the vendors were very picked over and nothing special for deals late in the day

 

[Reeferaddicts]

I wish they had one in Chicago this year I could make it to that one or maybe if they did one in St. Louis.

 

[Ricox]

Wish I could go to all of these amazing shows and get cheap prices for fish and corals in America but I am in Australia so a lot of things are really expensive and there aren't really any coral conferences or shows.

 

[katonge]

So what exactly do you get for your $25 admission & $10 parking? Are there talks or demonstration, etc?

 

[Utubereefer]

No worries mate....the shows often are more expensive. The plus is you get to see alot to choose from. Then you realize that your budget was spent on travel and tickets. Best of luck.

You get to see 25+ stores selections of corals.
