We have 10 gallon rental tanks available.  They will be set up with conditioned water and sponge filter.  Much less fuss than dealing tubs or buckets in your room.

Never been to ACA but Cincinnati is a nice town. Aquarium, Eli's bbq and a drive through Spring grove cemetery

Never been through the cemetery in Spring Grove, but I'm sure it's nice.
The Aquarium is 5 minutes away from the hotel, and there's a trip going at 9am Thursday if you want to join it.

If you miss it, there's always Uber, and being 5 minutes away, it's a cheap ride.
There's always room for one more tank.

Indeed - came home with 2.5 boxes of fish, a bunch of new fish food to try, and a variety of other things as well. Had a great time!

Spent all of my cash and more! Burnt out by the end of the convention but don't regret it. Lots of laughs. Next year I'll be a bit wiser and book a day or two off after the event to just chill. I think I came home with a little of everything: fish, tanks, pleco and cichlid caves, food, equipment. Good times!

Same here - what a great time! Brought back 2.5 boxes worth of fish, including a few new haps and plecos I haven't kept + 2 CARES species, plus a bunch of new fish foods, some pleco caves, and various other equipment.
