MACNA XXI Atlantic City NJ, Sept. 25, 26, 27, 2009

[MACNAXXI]

If you've never been to a MACNA before and if you're wondering if this event is for you the answer is a resounding YES! Like our Trade Show & Symposium last October, this event will feature many local and national vendors as well as speakers from around the country! This year's theme focuses on bringing the technique and technology of the pros into the hands of the hobbyists! We're looking forward to many hands on presentations for the attendees.

Things are really ramping up to MACNA XXI. We have the majority of our speakers listed on the SCHEDULE and the VENDOR FLOOR is filling in quickly with more than 70 vendors listed so far!

In case you didn't hear, Friday night's party will feature headline band The Nerds for your entertainment while you socialize with the folks that you haven't seen since last year's MACNA. Saturday night we will enjoy a presentation by Richie Kohler, subject of the book Shadow Divers and co-host of the TV show Deep Sea Detectives.

Be sure to buy some raffle tickets at a discount when you register. The big screen TV was such a hot raffle item at New Jersey Reefers Club's AMAZING RAFFLES last year, we will again be raffling off a Super Big Screen TV along with lots of other goodies (both reef and non-reef related). Our vendors have already started the donation list including two really great tank setups. Keep an eye on www.MACNAXXI.com for more information.

The current conference discount expires on Sept. 10th and the prices will go up as a result. Be sure to lock in at the current price as soon as possible (the prices will be $159 come September).

The current prices are:
Full Conference Pass (Includes Fri&Sat Evening Events) : $139
1-Day Conference Pass (No evening events) : $45
3-Day Conference Pass (No evening events) : $99


Those who will be staying at the Sheraton Atlantic City, host hotel of MACNA XXI should reserve their rooms as the block is selling out quickly and there will be no additional availability!

Hope to see you in Atlantic City!

Here's another note from one of our MANY exhibitors:

This Friday--Saturday--Sunday--THE EVENT OF THE YEAR

If you are anywhere in the Eastern half of the country the drive to MACNA will be an easy one this year as the event is hosted by the NJ reef club and is located at Atlantic City, NJ. The NJ reefers are masters of hosting such events so this should be one of the very best MACNAs ever!!!!!!!!!

There will be tons of great vendors with every imaginable type of reefkeeping equipment and livestock for you to look at, touch, ask about, and buy. World renowned speakers are lined up to help answer your most detailed questions, entertainment of the finest imaginable, and the shear fact that you will be there with over 1000 fellow hobbyists all with the same goal in mind--learning how to better keep our critters in our personal reefs.

IF YOU ARE A BEGINNER OR ADVANCED HOBBYIST THIS IS THE ONE EVENT YOU MUST ATTEND!!!!!! NO WHERE ELSE WILL YOU BE SURROUNDED BY SO MANY FELLOW HOBBYISTS, LIVESTOCK, AND EQUIPMENT!! Come for the weekend or JUST ONE DAY, it will be well worth your time. While online forums such as this one are great, there is no comparison to actually living reefkeeping live and in person at the grand daddy event of the year--BE THERE!!!!!

Stop by our booth and say Hi!! we will be offering for sale 100+ clams, 1200+ frags, our own unique Pieces Of The Reef, our own exclusive Australian Ultimate Rainbow Acans, and so much more. All at special super low show prices!!!!!!!!!!!! Dr.Mac, www.pacificeastaquaculture.com
