Keep reefing and stay heathy my friends! Below is the official announcement from the Reef-A-Palooza folks… Due to the continuing uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 global pandemic, and our concern for the continued health and safety for our exhibitors, attendees, and staff, our team at Reef-A-Palooza has made the difficult decision to cancel the Chicago 2020 show. The show will now take place October 16-17, 2021 at the Renaissance Schaumburg Convention Center. Hotel reservations booked at the Renaissance Schaumburg Convention Center Hotel through the Reef-A-Palooza group rate will be cancelled for your convenience with no penalty. Please do not call the hotel to cancel your reservation. You will receive a cancellation notification email directly from the hotel. This has been a difficult decision for by AquaNerd | May 15, 2017 | Events, Opinion, Reef
WWC – please send this to me! The guys from Worldwide Corals have done it again with the best Reefapalooza Orlando show I have attended.  In it’s 4th year in Orlando, this was, in my humble opinion, the best run show we have ever been to and I’ve had the pleasure of attending all four Orlando shows as a vendor. When we arrived, the Reefapalooza crew greeted us a the back entrance and within about 20 minutes they had the contents of our truck and trailer unloaded and delivered to our 20′ x 10′ booth.  Our thanks go out to the RAP staff that helped us get our gear into the convention center and bring water to our booth for our coral and Tahitian Maxima clam display.  Well by AquaNerd | Mar 10, 2016 | Events, Reef, Science, Technology

We love aquarium related workshops, whether they be some sort of husbandry demo, a product showcase, or anything that spreads the good word of the hobby. We especially love them when the events are local. Such is the case for a Red Sea workshop that will be hosted at one of our favorite Houston area fish stores, FJW Aquarium. The event is still a little ways away, being hosted on September 20th from noon to 4pm. Like many events, this workshop will also feature awesome deals on livestock and equipment, as well as raffle prizes and other attractions that will bring in local hobbyists in droves. As we said, the workshop will take place at FJW Aquarium, located at 3839 Mangum Road in Houston, Texas. More details about the event will unfold on the FJW Facebook announcement, linked to above. A representative, or representatives, from Red Sea will be in-house doling out the goods on all of their latest gear, presenting a great opportunity for users to become more familiar with their dosing systems and other popular products.
