That's too bad. There are a lot of people in the area that won't be able to go.
Pratt - Thats true but people scheduling events ( at least for things in New York area ) often avoid Yom Kippur because it is one holiday that just about every Jew observes to some degree and that many people are aware of, so therefore costs them a decent amount of participants. Many MR events in the past had the same conflict, just with other holy days, so it was very exciting to see that last spring's swap was not and I was finally able to attend. Oh well maybe next year.

I'm not sure what your point is I agree with you.
Our intention was to avoid the holidays. We tried our best, unfortunately we were pinned into two weekends because of the other industry shows that we were told to avoid and the schedule for the Atlantic City Convention Center. The other weekend was Rosh Hashannah, which I was instructed was worse because of the way the dates fell.
If we could have chosen another weekend we surely would have. It certainly wasn't for lack of trying!
I was told that Yom Kippur starts Sunday night at sundown. Hopefully that allows some of those who are within driving distance the ability attend for the bulk of the show.

Yeah, what you picked was the best of the options.
Thanks for that, Josh. I really wish we weren't so boxed in.
So, You've been hearing a lot about this MACNA XXI thing, right? But you're not too sure what it's all about? To start it's being held in Atlantic City, NJ. September 25th, 26th and 27th. MACNA stands for Marine Aquarium Conference of North America. The name may be misleading to you, maybe you think that this isn't something that you can attend? Well, we're here to tell you that you CAN attend, and if you're an everyday average reefer that's even more of a reason to come! (more to follow on that subject!)
MACNA is a three day event. You may be thinking, what could you possibly do for three days that has to do with your saltwater reef tank? Well, let me tell you! It's a great place to LEARN. There will be some of the industries leading speakers, touching on all sorts of topics that range from water flow, chemistry, aquascaping, water filtering, keeping/breeding ornamental fish and so much more! Now, we also understand that not everyone likes to sit and listen to someone speak. There really is no worry here, you can head on over to the trade show floor. This is where you're probably going to be overwhelmed. (but in a good way...trust us!)
The trade show floor (or the exhibitor area) is where you'll find all of the latest and greatest products for your saltwater reef (or fish!) tank. There are way too many vendors to list, you're probably better off just heading on over to the MACNA XXI website and looking at the EXHIBITOR MAP. If after looking at that you're still not happy, there will also be workshops demonstrating everyday reefing techniques located around the exhibitor hall!
Ok, maybe you would like to bring your spouse or significant other but they really aren't into reefing. Well, a good selling point would be that this years MACNA is being held in Atlantic City, NJ. I'm pretty sure most of you have at least heard of it. There are lots of things to do there during the day (or night) including the beach, boardwalk, casino's, and plenty of shopping. In addition to that, they may also enjoy listening to The Nerds (a local NJ band) that will be playing at our Friday night reception. Then at the banquet (yes, a banquet too!) on Saturday night, John Chatterton will be speaking. He is featured in the book Shadow Divers and has also been on the History Channels Deep Sea Detectives.
So in a nutshell, you get three days FILLED with Speakers, Vendors, Workshops, Raffle Prizes (yes, those too!) and a chance to meet and hang out with other reefers from around the country! It doesn't get much better than that.
So come on out and visit us in Atlantic City, New Jersey on September 25th, 26th and 27th. You and the family are sure to have a wonderful time!

Well ladies and gentlemen, it's THAT time again! Time to start leaking out some of the fantastic raffle items that we'll have at this years MACNA.

And this year, we're hosting MACNA, and well that's like a 3 Day Frag Swap on Steroids. With that in mind, it would be completely wrong of us to do raffles on one day only. We NEEEEEEED to do them ALL THREE DAYS and that's just what we plan to do. Yep, raffles Friday, raffles Saturday and ridiculous raffles on Sunday. Here is just a teeny tiny, little glimpse of what we have in store (we wouldn't want to tip our hat this early, trust us, there's MUCH more to come!):
? Nautilus EX 30 Skimmer,
? PSK-75H Hang-on Protein Skimmer,
? MP10, MP20 and MP40W Vortech setups?that?s three separate setups
? Artificial Reef #31,
? Geo 612 Calcium Reactor,
? United Pet Group tank, stand and canopy,
? 180g All Glass tank and stand with a MarcoRocks custom rock creation, and an Aquatinics Constellation Hybrid light fixture,
