From my experience, I remembered it being at Marine Depot and I Won one of the raffled items which was a JBJ chiller. During the event, I met the woman Katie and she express her obsessions for watchman gobies. (I believe that was her name). Also Anthony Calfo had a demo of propagating corals off to the side.... It was a fun day filled with laughter, plenty of sunlight and great place to chat about new tank ideas. Vendors would have clear containers of corals covered in slime...but it great for the local hobbyist. Now, I just have to make sure that I'm not working to catch the next show.
It used to feel like a community event...now it's taken on a national event. A lot more vendors and speakers which allows more exposure to upcoming trends and ideas/secrets.
