Yes you do, but having 3 raffles on Saturday and 2 on Sunday gives everyone not staying the whole day a chance to win something.

How much are these raffle tickets? Set price or different depending on each item? Don't think I'll win anything (I never win at raffles grrr!) but I'll definitely try.

 

[gcarroll]

The raffle tickets are sold in sheets of 26 tickets. All 26 tickets share the same number with your stub. This makes it much easier to check your tickets.

$20 will get you 26 tickets.

The aquarium sits on a recessed base that "œfloats" it above the cabinet, which seamlessly follows the contour of the glass.

The marine-spec laminated cabinet that houses the sump, (and in the larger models also includes a dedicated, vented space for chillers) is smartly finished with weatherproof, epoxy-painted doors.

REEFER[emoji769] Water Management System

The comprehensive water management system provides the base for excellent water quality. Surface water from all sides of the aquarium is actively fed to the sump through the regulated silent flow downpipe.

red sea reefer marine aquarium system - regulated downflow system

Removable surface-skimming combs surround the top of the centrally located overflow box that houses the downpipe, sump return pipe and the discreet multi-directional "œeyeball" return outlet nozzle.

In the event of a blockage in the regulated downpipe, an additional emergency overflow pipe provides an unrestricted free flow of aquarium water directly to the sump.

On entering the sump the water passes through a 200 micron mechanical filter bag, before entering the filtration compartment that maintains a constant water height, making it suitable for all skimmers and other reactors.

In order to remove any air bubbles that may have escaped from the skimmer, the water passes through a bubble-stripping cascade on its way to the return pump chamber.

To ensure a constant water level in the pump compartment, all REEFER[emoji769] sumps include an integrated automatic freshwater top-up unit, guaranteeing a constant, stable water flow throughout the complete system.

Supplied as a complete self-assembly kit, all pipe work is ready without the need for any gluing.

What day is this being raffled off?

This looks like it is going to be a totally awesome event.Way to raise the bar, blows the competition out of the water.(no sea life was injured by that statement).

[gcarroll]

Everybody needs a reefing shirt!

[BeanMachine]

What day is this being raffled off?

Most if not all of the large display tanks from Marineland, Red Sea, SC Aquariums, glasscages.com, AGE etc will be raffled off at the 2nd raffle on Sunday as they are being displayed in those exhibitors booths.

We will have some frag tanks etc that will be spread around at the earlier raffles.

The exhibitors are very generous to RAP and often times more prizes are donated during the show so be sure to check the raffle tables for additional items.

I was dreaming about the 6 foot tank and I was caught by my wife measuring the floor where my 120 sits, she gets all mad and wants to know why I am measuring the floor and I better not think of buying another tank. Busted LOL
