Less than one week away. I've got my ticket already. Cant wait to see all the coral and talk to the vendors.

I can’t wait, anyone been to the California or Florida ones?

Nope but always watch videos and wish I did. I got my ticket in July so I'm more than ready. I already have 4 corals waiting for pickup and will probably find a few more.
I've always loved the paintings by ReefWeeds so it will be nice to see them in person. My even get something to hang by the tank, well see.

I had early entry so I as able to take my time to shop and talk to the vendors. Definitely the way to go. It did get crowded after it opened up but a great show.

How is the pricing compared to the local shops? Looking for carpet nem, BTA, cleanup crew, etc.

A lot of the local shops are at the show

I didn't buy much, but mainly because I'm upgrading to my new tank soon. I did get a nice Diamond-Tail Flasher Wrasse and a Hybrid Powder-Brown Tang though.
