Reef-A-Palooza (RAP) is an annual event in Southern California now in its tenth year. For the first time ever RAP is coming to Orlando, FL! RAP can best be described as an indoor marketplace where sellers, exhibitors, and hobbyists of all types can buy, sell, trade, showcase their products to the marine hobbyist community. The main purpose of Reef-A-Palooza is to provide an enjoyable, positive atmosphere that is conducive to education and trade of both product and knowledge. As such, participating exhibitors range from large manufacturers, to retailers, to small livestock sellers, and participating hobbyists range from the beginner to the elite, rare-species coral farmer. It is the perfect venue to showcase new products in the marine aquarium industry. We strive to rally a diverse range of participants into the two-day event so as to present the best value and interest to everyone involved.

Hotel rates for the Doubletree Universal are $119/night-you need to mention Reef-a-poolza to get the special rate!
 
Still undecided for Saturday or Sunday, if I go on Saturday and buy livestock I would be taking a chance keeping it in a cooler with air stone for another day. But there might be better prices on sunday...
