      I went Sat morning. Really nice corals, BUT I did NOT like the way it was set up. Usually the private sellers are in the same row, this time everyone was spread out.

      How do you keep corals overnight in a hotel you may ask? Heater and pump to circulate the warm water in the bathroom sink. Leave the corals in the bags and make sure there are no leaks. Put the bags in the full sink and you are good to go.

      I bought a few cheapie SPS frags, some clippers, and a few supplies. Two Guys Corals had some nice baller stuff I may look into later(Talking to you Dan) but, I wasnt overly impressed with anything. The big clams for 90.00 bucks were a good deal but, I saw bunch that were gapping and not healthy looking.

      And if at all possible, could the vendors not use only blue LED's to display the corals? I feel like they all looked the same and I couldn't differentiate colors.

      I did enjoy the show and will return again.

      I wasn't sure if the clam vendor was selling clams, or aiptasia.

      My only complaint is the majority of the vendors using the bluest light possible for showing off coral. Makes even the crappiest looking stuff glow. Some dude was trying to sell me an acan head for $300 but you couldn't even see what the real colors were with the insanely blue light.

      Totally agreed with you. I was going to ask one of the vendor to turn the whites one and all 4 bulbs were blues.....

      The guys with LEDs over their tanks were adjusting the lights on request, saw it a few times. It is harder with T5s though
