What Fish & Coral Vendors are going to be there? Are they all just the same local stores that I can shop at every day?
You can't shop all these guys every day - not unless you have your own private jet!
That's because MWRF 2013 will feature a dozen livestock dealers from all over the Western US!
Here is a little bit about each of the CONFIRMED Coral & Fish Vendors who will be at the show -
The Coral Shop is located in Aurora, Colorado and features some of the finest Acans, Chalices, Favias, Fungias and Euphyllias in the entire country - along with many other LPS corals. When you shop at The Coral Shop booth at the MWRF, we can guarantee one thing - you will leave HAPPY!
Your Reef Supply is located in Roseville, California (just east of Sacramento) and they will be bringing a wide variety of awesome Tyree SPS corals, as well as beautiful Maxima and Squamosa Clams, Montiporas, Milleporas, Brains and Zoas. Come make something from Your Reef a part of YOUR reef!
Aquatic Dreams is located in Clearfield, Utah and they are northern Utah's high end fish & coral specialist! Famous for their outrageous $25 coral frag tank, and their love of rare and hard to find fish, Ryan and the crew at AD will be bringing in some sweet surprises just for the show!
Mind Blowing Corals is located in Broomfield, Colorado and they feature a whole host of exotic corals; things like the "Pink Barbie Millie", "Electric Tips Montipora", the "Pink & Yellow Hippo Favia", and much more. Be sure and check out their booth for more 'mind -blowing' stuff!
Gonzo Corals is back for MWRF 2013 by popular demand! One of the busiest booths in 2011, Gonzo Corals is located in Denver, Colorado and always brings a truckload of awesome stuff! Their specialties include some crazy LPS corals and palythoas, and the amazing 'sunburst' anemone... once you go "Gonzo" you will be back for more, more, more!
The Aquarium is located in Sandy, Utah and has a well-deserved reputation as one of the nicest stores in the Intermountain West! Owner Brad Daniels and his staff will be at the show with a terrific booth display featuring a plethora of coral frags and colonies of all sizes and price ranges. Maybe they will even bring some of those awesome giant clams that wowed them at the last MWRF!
Reef Kingdom, located in Ogden, Utah is a 'fan favorite' at the MWRF with their impressive selection of reasonably priced corals and frags. They will hit the show with their impressive selection of acans, chalice frags, zoas, palys, favias, and blastos - all beautifully colored and attractively priced!
Reef Koi Corals comes to us from Denver, Colorado and is another MWRF veteran. Reef Koi is famous for their unbelievable Wellsos, Trachys, Fungias, and Favias - but they carry an impressive variety of high end SPS as well. Look for their booth filled with some truly crazy corals; but you better get there early because their one-of-a-kind corals always go quick!
2 words: Jared. Butler. Do we really need to say anything else?
Rocky Mountain Frags is located in Holladay, Utah and Jared's corals are the stuff of legend. While the rest of the country has to come to him, you can come meet the legend himself in your own backyard, here at the Mountain West Reef Fest - and maybe you can take home something AMAZING!
Welcome to Zoa Heaven! Zoanthids.com is located in Orem, Utah and is THE place for all the hottest zoas, palys, mushrooms, goniopora, alveopora... and MORE! Come check out their giant frag tank display, filled with some of the unique soft coral beauties only found at zoanthids.com!
At the MWRF, you get to shop top - quality fish and corals from dealers flying in from California to Colorado... and everywhere in between!
And no 'overnight shipping' fees, no internet payment issues, you get to actually SEE what you are buying in person, talk to the owners, bring home your new livestock IMMEDIATELY instead of waiting a couple of days for delivery; no acclimation issues or too hot days or too cold days, or packages left out on your front porch, etc. And no burning a tankful of gas driving up and down the valley trying to hit all your favorite local guys - because everything's in one place, where you can relax, shop, and compare - all on your terms!
