Hailing from Southern California now in its 10th year, well-known annual event Reef-A-Palooza (RAP) is making waves here in Orlando, Florida. RAP is best described as an indoor marketplace where sellers, exhibitors, and hobbyists of all types can buy, sell, trade, and showcase their products to the marine hobbyist community. Guests can further enjoy their time at RAP with a myriad of educational panels, featuring speakers including Mike Paletta, Justin Zimmerman, Julian Sprung, Tony Vargas, and Jake Adams. You can find RAP on Facebook, and follow them on Twitter.
