I didn't see many vendors listed ?
Who are the vendors ?

 

[LongIslandAndy]

I agree Reef Reaper. This should be standing room only. I believe NERAC has seen steady growth in attendance though. Sadly, I think the "hobby" for a lot of people is buying frags and then maybe selling them. Hearing from two luminaries of the hobby firsthand is not high on their list of reef priorities.

James, I have been around this hobby for a long time and you hit the nail right on the head:grumpy:

If you've never had the chance to listen to Charles Delbeek speak (on anything), I seriously suggest you take advantage of him being this close. He's awesome! By far one of my all time favorites.
