I’m planning to go to MACNA. This year it’s in Atlantic City, NJ. I’ll be bringing my cameras so expect to see a bunch of photos and some video from the event, in a few weeks. I haven’t decided which day of the 3 day event I’ll be going to, but I’m leaning toward Sunday, for the best deals on corals and equipment. Here’s a map of the vendors that will be there:
Some of the topics I’ll be bringing up w/ vendors is:
Seachem- What’s up w/ their new salt mix, Salinity? Better than Reef Salt? *Update- check this out: Salinity
Neptune Systems- Curt, why the F has it taken so long to get the APEX out? Not having a controller for months has hurt my tank, big time! Hopefully I’ll have my APEX by then and can get some tech support, if needed. *Update- All is good in the world. My APEX is fantastic and Curt’s tech support has already helped me out.
Marco Rocks- Need more dry base rock for my display. *Update- Brought some of their Key Largo rock. Looks good, a little heavier than the Fiji, but much cheaper price.
UV Lighting- Need to stock up on T5 actinic bulbs. *Update- They weren’t selling bulbs, but they had this new red bulb that looked very cool.
IceCAP- Say hi to Chris, pickup a backup 660. *Update- Chris wasn’t selling anything there, just shown some new products, including LED supplement light tubes and their new T5 fixtures.
Champion Lighting- Say hi to Gary. *Update- Got a free cuzy for my beer:)
Brightwell- Checkup on their new line of supplements, to replace my Zeovit dosing. *Update- Spoke w/ the rep there. Might try some other other supplements.
Premium Aquatics- Say Hi to the “J”s, Jason, Jeremy, Josh..and Michelle. Buy more equipment.*Update- Picked up a small order, got a free Tshirt.
Mr. Coral, ORA, Pacific East Coast, Cherry Corals, etc…- Buy corals! *Update- Video of Dr. Mac, brought 5 Acans for $100 and a large Dendro for $15 at Cherry Corals!
