The Best Show of the Year by Far.

Is it at the same Hotel as last year?

Will there be speakers again this year like there was last year?

I can't wait.

Hi, I am fairly new to saltwater and I have never been to a swap. I was thinking about going to this one. Is this only for corals or is there usually fish, shrimp, cuc??

There will be some Fish (Usually Clown Fish) and CUC.

There is also a Guy who has a lot of Dry Goods.

But it is 99.9% Coral.

This is by far hands down the best Swap in Michigan though.

The last one actually had three speakers (Like MACNA) which I have never seen at a Swap before.

I recommend going to all Swaps but this is one that you cannot miss.

Landing is when all then local reefers get together and let lose.

This swap is always packed w/ goodies and usually has real nice raffle. If is also the swap I p/u all my dry goods I need.
If you only go to 1 swap/yr definitely this is the one to go to!
