    Went to the Aquatic Experience yesterday. It was a great show. Had a fun time riding down with @dlhirst .

    My favorite products of the day were the maxspect gyre and the hydor volcano.

    Some of our favorite vendors from our swaps were at the show too. As well as several current and former sponsors. It was fun to see familiar faces as well as meet some new contacts.

    Here are a few photos I took:

    The expo has both fresh and saltwater. There were some neat FW setups!

    I didn't remember to take a photo, but there was a shark tank with several 8 foot sharks in it as well.

    If you've got a free day today or tomorrow I would recommend checking it out if you can!
