MAX this weekend

Rate this Entry
Hey reef addicts, this weekend is MAX - the Marine Aquarium Expo in Costa Mesa California. Each year, everyone converges on the Orange County Fairgrounds on Saturday and Sunday. I'll be there and would love to meet up with y'all.

My presentation on Sunday afternoon is "Pests in the Aquarium", sponsored by Seachem. Be sure to be in the presentation area at 1:30 p.m. so you can learn the good guys from the bad guys, and how to remove the vile pests from your tank.

The rest of the time, you'll be able to find me in the MACNA 2012 booth. www.dfwmacna.com

    I will be there for sure, I have been waiting for this since RAP I can't believe your tank started leaking, that is really terrible, I am very sorry. I thought it was an early April Fools joke when I read the title. I hope Marineland takes care of you.
