Reef-A-Palooza California brings together some of the biggest brands, coral vendors, and reefing personalities in the hobby, and this year’s show had plenty to see. In this walkthrough, we make our way through both rooms and stop at every booth along the way, from major equipment manufacturers to coral vendors showing off some seriously impressive livestock.

There’s a little bit of everything in this one. You’ll get a closer look at new and upcoming reef aquarium products, lighting, pumps, testing equipment, filtration gear, aquascaping products, and plenty of accessories. We also spend time checking out corals, captive-bred fish, unique displays, and some of the more unusual products that caught our attention throughout the show.

If you couldn’t make it to Reef-A-Palooza California in person, this is about as close as you can get to walking the show floor yourself. Grab a drink, settle in, and see what’s new, what stood out, and which products or vendors might be worth a closer look for your own reef tank.
