Guess I'll be missing this one since I'll be in the UK. :(

[larryandlaura]

Sweet hope I can make it.

[that Reef Guy]

Can't Wait!

[Sir Patrick]

Nice, on a Sunday. I hope to make it!

[jimsflies]

I finally have the layout ready...

[larryandlaura]

How many people plan on going?

[Jamesr]

I'm going to try to be there.

[that Reef Guy]

How many people plan on going?

I am going.

[dknuckles]

I will be there selling off the last of dry goods and 2- prop systems

[jimsflies]

I've been pre-occupied the past couple months but plan to be getting back to reefing and CR now that the dust is settling. I will update the table map tonight. We have several vendors signed up for the swap.

I haven't sent an invitation to past vendors yet (but will soon), so if you're reading this and want a table, I'd get on it sooner than later as I expect that after sending the invitation email the available table list will shrink.

[jimsflies]

Vendor update...

[that Reef Guy]

I am getting excited.

The Frag Swap is now less than a month away!

[jimsflies]

Several more vendors registered for the event. I'll try to get an updated layout posted tonight.

I updated the availability.

Some Corals are now SOLD OUT

Remember please PM Me (Private Message Me - To do that just Left Click on my Screen Name "that Reef Guy" above the Blue Hippo Tang Picture to the left of this and then Click "Private Message") if you want me to bring any of these Corals otherwise I am not going to bring them to the swap and you won't be able to get them there.

No need to pay upfront either.

You can pay me at the Frag Swap.

If you are not attending the Swap PM Me anyways and maybe we can figure something out.

[that Reef Guy]

If you have not been to a Coral Frag Swap I highly recommend that you go.

Check out this Video from a previous swap.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nanVWZhUuzw

Dealers from around the country come to sell coral (much of which are the amazing corals that you see online not the bland common stuff that you see at your LFS - Local Fish Store).

It is also a great way to meet old friends and make new friends that are in the hobby.

You will find the hottest Zoanthids, Acros, Acans, Chalices, etc. all at great prices!

[schminksbro]

Thanks to Jim and Captivereefs.com for putting on yet another event as well as all the vendors that supported the event. I know traveling state to state comes with risk and expense. Thanks for supporting the MI reef community.

I would also like to thank those who stopped by Reef Paradise and shared a few hard earned dollars. New friends and old, thank you for your support.

[jimsflies]

Sorry for the late post here...but I too want to thank everyone for coming out. It takes both vendors and attendees to make a successful swap. We had a great turnout with fantastic corals and deals to be had.

While its not etched in stone, preparations are underway for the next swap to be in Centerline, MI Keep checking the swap forum here on CaptiveReefs.com for more information.
