      Macna 2018

      I love Vegas and I love reef tanks. Why not combine the two this year??

      I haven't been to Vegas since 1985. Has it changed?

      I'd love to go but there's too many beasties at home need caring for.

      We are going, and we are bringing a 16 gallon system with us to keep everything alive in the hotel over the weekend, and a power inverter for the ride Home in the back seat of my truck haha.

      Is there anything different than the S.d. Macna worth spending $1 to $3k to fly out,hotel, rental car,etc...
      I liked Macna out here but I felt like I set my standards/expectations to high then got there and it was just an upgraded MAX/RAP show just less livestock more focused on equipment/future of hobby which was cool,but I expected to see the crazy high end livestock in combination.
      Don't get me wrong I'm definitely not trying to knock Macna just wanted more out of it. Just unsure of every show is deofferent?

      Hey Mike. I go because we can make a vacation out of it (New Orleans), and I like to catch some lectures and see new product releases and demos. AND it is Vegas!

      ok that makes sense. If you make it a little vacation trip as well then it gets you to see new places and new things along with changes in the hobby ... def seems worth it then.

      Did you not see any of the other things going on at MACNA here in San Diego besides the exhibit hall? Twenty five different lectures by different experts and fellow hobbyists, the party on the bay Friday night, the banquet with MACNA's first ever comedian entertainer. MACNA, regardless of where it is located, is far more than RAP is. RAP is a great show and getting better every year, but MACNA is a true educational opportunity for hobbyists. Scientific posters, workshops, as well as the chance to meet up with people that you know from the forums around the country. If all you want is another big frag swap, then save your money. If you want to be truly immersed in the hobby for an entire weekend, go to MACNA and get truly involved.
