OceansX Posted January 4, 2014 Author Share Posted January 4, 2014 Hi all, I've posted info about a one day conference in Houston like Dallas' NextWave called Reef Currents in the Houston club MARSH forum, here. However, I find it hard to find the post so I thought I'd mention it here too: http://www.austinreefclub.com/topic/29122-reef-currents-houston-reef-show-w-speakers/#entry228486 All details at reefcurrents.org I drive the ~5 hours from Houston to Dallas for Nextwave, so I definitely think the ~2 1/2 hours for Reef Currents to hear Bob fenner, Matt Pedersen, and John Coppilno; plus the vendors, plus the raffle; plus the auction - WAY WORTH IT! Hope to see some ARC members there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceansX Posted January 4, 2014 Author Share Posted January 4, 2014 Oops forgot to mention, our partners. Apologies. We're doing this in conjunction with Steve Tyree's Coral Farmers Market (CFM) and he'll be there with Reef Farmers (reeffarmers.com) his company, and of course hold an auction of his corals.

OceansX Posted February 6, 2014 Author Share Posted February 6, 2014 Thanks James for letting me know. Oh if you pre-order, you'll still need at minimum a vendor hall ticket if you are picking up your order in the vendor hall. Also, I don't know the vendor pre-order details. Please contact them to arrange it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manny Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 I am going to have to see if the guys down here at the BCS area would like to go. This is something I don't want to miss but only having one vehicle in the family might make it a bit tricky. Crossing my fingers that I will see (and finally get to meet) you guys there.

OceansX Posted February 20, 2014 Author Share Posted February 20, 2014 Oh do you remember reading about Sea & Reef resurrecting the C-quest clownfish line: http://reefbuilders....aris-clownfish/ Well, one of our vendors: FJW is bringing a complete line of Sea & Reef clownfish for purchase & for their own raffle. I don't know how many total clownfish are being raffled off, one or more? ALSO: Thursday 11:59 pm online sales end for full passes at $35. Otherwise available at the door for $45. Wouldn't you rather save that money for the raffle? Vendor hall still $15 at the door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
