x. . . it all started with the name REEFSTOCK!

Last year I attended and/or presented at nearly all of the major marine aquarium events in the country. At each one I witnessed unique trends and ideas for improving the attendees' experience at these events. I began to ponder the thought of incorporating many of these elements into a show that would take place in my home town.

After months of planning and collaboration with many national and local hobbyists and professionals, one of the most unique marine aquarium events is set to take place right here in the heart of Denver.

On March 8, 2008, REEFSTOCK will take place at the fun and trendy Curtis Hotel in downtown Denver. The back of the flyer is the show program. We will be shipping in several recognized national speakers who will share with us new ideas and new developments on the cutting edge of reef aquarium science.

There will be several national and local vendors and manufacturers displaying and selling new & exciting products at special prices. Additionally there will be a separate Farmer's Market style livestock vending area which will feature an abundance of quality livestock. There will be highly sought-after frags for sale brought in from San Francisco, Los Angeles and Denver reefers. Some local vendors are already beginning their livestock build up in anticipation of the event and you should expect to see a wide variety of brilliant SPS and ZOanthids, limited edition frags and quite a number of australian corals including Acans, Micros, Duncans and more.

Furthermore, a couple manufacturers have agreed to let me demonstrate some brand new and prototype products which have not been revealed anywhere else.

We will be setting up on Friday afternoon and everyone is encouraged to stay friday and saturday night for festivities and some one-on-one time with the speakers, vendors and other attendees. There will also be some associated activities planned for friday and sunday so make sure to stay tuned for more details about this fun, social marine aquarium event.

I look forwards to seeing some of you this year at our first major event !

Warm Regards

I'm here! This dang dissertation is taking all of my fish time!

This sounds great. Will you be down in Denver then Christi? If so: It's a fishie date! :p

Yes, I'll be arriving on Sunday (the 17th) and will be mostly staying with my brother in Denver, so it should be quite easy for us to meet up! I'll PM you with my details! :D

Look forwards to seeing you all at Reefstock !

Yes, John, it will be nice to meet you as well! :)

you see ......yet another get together in some place called america. sheeshh!

& why wasn't i invited as a guest speaker hmmmm?

I have the talents of a chimp fighter jet pilot & more wise crack humor than jimmy carr smashing contestants just won prizes, it would have made sensational viewing as i splice & dice a few animals & glue them to rocks in the shape of rude organs & how the ancients had a great concept of water corrugated direction & we go & build something as ugly as PVC as a substitute..lol

V - we're going to have set up a special meeting that's R-rated just so you are allowed to attend. But, I don't know....America might be too prude for the likes of you! :D

Im working on changing the world though humor, just as long as i dont get shot for being to left wing.....& if i do, in the arm or legs ok, just not in the face or the @ss, Cause if i live i need both of them to continue talking s$^t

general update but the reefstock.net site is finally up.... it took a little bit of smacking down of registrars!

The speaker lineup is awesome and of course the sponsors are going to be there as well to chit chat and hopefully hand out goodies.

We'll have Gresh from Reef Nutrition, yours truly the copepod geek from Dancing Horse Technology to talk face to face about plankton and general fuge critters as well as a ton of nifty stuff from Sera Marin and Aquamart.

The southern colorado marine aquarium society will be providing an awesome frag tank setup for some good swappin and near the end of it all the Curtis will be rolling a cash bar into the ballroom so we can all get blatantly inebriated.... thank god I'm staying up there saturday night. Should be a blast!
