I just want to thank whoever decided the hours. Hate when I have to get up early on the weekends for an event.

Man its 20 dollars now thats expensive for a coral swapmeet that is once a year.
First 500 that show their parking ticket at the Vertex booth will get a new reactor valued at $60. RAP is much more than a coral swap meet. We have some of the biggest names in the industry exhibiting this year. The new venue is beautiful, great speakers, and an incredible raffle. Well worth the $20 entry fee.

We will have two complete Red Sea tanks outfitted with AP700s, skimmers, return pumps etc.

Oh, or the AGE cantilever aquarium.

Or a 120 gallon SC Aquariums full system.

That's just the start.

I really think $20 is too high for this. The Reptile Expo is huge, at least 2-3 times the size of this event and it's only $14. It also feels like there are less speakers this year though I didn't pay attention last year since I didn't have a tank. But two speakers per day, a couple of them really have nothing interesting or new to add (Fenner, Sprung) to the hobby. Unless you're going to their talks, you're basically paying $20 to enter a marketplace to buy more stuff.
