He is smart that stone is everywhere in the foothills of northern Ca.
Hit schedule the website has it for 2026 . Luca Gallaraga will be there doing a demo and Ada has a workshop Sunday. Check Aquascaping Ryno out on IG as well.

Wow.... ADA must be feeling the burn of competition. They've never done so much promotion.
The ADA table here just makes you drool, but it's so expensive.
I thought maybe I'd rather go to Chicago but, I'm on vacation for that one.
The Dallas date is soon, so it might be a bit tough to do, but I may try to swing it.
Thanks for the info.
My guess, just a guess, you can aks George Lo at the AGA. That they got a bigger boost than expected through last years booth and have been working to expand their presence. Plus half the people competing are at the AGA.

Here is the info. Demo on Saturday and workshop on Sunday. Not sure I'd want to stay as late as the workshop.
Ugh... not sure this will work logistically for me, but I'll think about it.
90 minutes for the workshop isn't very long

Flights are also insane thanks to the Iran conflict. They more than doubled from February. 1st class and being able to choose a basic seat are $200 apart in pricing roundtrip expensive.

To see the demo on Saturday in Dallas, you'll have to spring for VIP tickets. Door for VIP is 10:00, demo is at 10:30 on Saturday.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure he gets the stone and Manzanita wood in the same places. A couple shops in California sell it online which is where I got it. @Jeff Miotke did some gathering with him and has used it for a bunch of his scapes which is where I learned about it.

I'd completely forgot to keep an eye on Aquashella announcements. I need to look at that today and see if Dallas or Chicago work out for me.
Would be great to meet up with some of you and thank you all for your journals which helped me evolve my processes far beyond what I could pull from youtube or instagram etc.
I planned all year to attend in Dallas. It’s only a five hour drive and I have family there. But now a conflict has come up and I can’t go. So bummed.

We just had a presentation by one of the main ADA aquascapers.
I have more pictures I'll try to put up later. I don't want Art to fuss at me for all the bandwidth I use up.

David Chow's aquascaping demonstration just finished a bit ago.
My east coast brain is used to going to bed around 9, and it is now 2am east coast time.
So I'm going to leave you with this aquascape from the Aqua Forest sales table. I'll post more tomorrow.
I need sleep.
