The outer sides of the show tent were enclosed by 84 numbered show tanks, each 8 feet in diameter. A few additional un-numbered tanks were set up in places, some of which were 6 feet in diameter. The huge tent contained some tanks of aged water, some disinfectant tanks, air lines for aerating the show tanks and a couple of tables for use by the judges and the water quality team. Mainly, the interior of the tent was empty. All show tanks were exposed to natural light at the edges of the tent.
Surrounding the central show tent were more tents housing vendors of every type. These tents were huge. I did not count the number of vendors, but there had to be 60 or so. Each vendor received a huge area and many brought large inventories to sell. The vendor tents surrounded the show tent.
