New England Frag Farmer's Market - March 11, 2017

ibob991 · Feb 28, 2017

This question may be inappropriate to ask or hard to answer but I'm curious if anyone could give me an estimate on how much softie frags normally run at this event. Trying to decide in my head if it's going to be worth the 1.5 hr drive up, recently built a brand new tank and already spent a decent amount stocking it, maybe someone can understand trying to reef on a "budget" (i quote that because it never happens

)

More then you've ever seen

. But honestly I drive from New York every year and this is by far the most coral packed show I've been to. Well worth the 1.5 hour drive

Sorry was looking more of a price range then variety, but it is good to know there will be a variety.

Smiz · Feb 28, 2017

Well there is a huge variety that all range in price but I usually do not pay over $20 for a frag of anything that isn't a "specialty" coral.

ibob991 · Feb 28, 2017

ok cool, thanks I guess I'll make the trip!

Smiz · Feb 28, 2017

Sounds good I have a booth setup on behave of our local club. Come check us out we'll have softies for 5-20 room 121.

Smiz could not be more correct. If it is soft corals, at a great price that you are looking for, the FFM is the place to look. I know a 1.5hr drive seems like a lot but with over 60 coral vendors from Jason Fox (not a great source of softies but WOW for SPS) all the way down to the small scale hobbyist you have never heard of, you will find EVERYTHING that you could possibly want. I run the FFM and I still find the sheer number of corals there to be overwhelming. Make the trip, you will not regret it.

Hello,
My name is Nicholas Discawicz and I am a senior at Edwin O. Smith High School. I am currently performing a project on alternative energy sources from chemicals normally used in batteries. A big part of this project is making an effort in publicizing the recycling of all types of batteries. In doing this, I will be attending the Farmer's Market on March 11 to collect all types of batteries that can no longer be used. So if anyone happens to come across these used or dead batteries, which can be any kind from alkaline batteries to car batteries to phone batteries, please bring them along with you so you can contribute to the prolonged usage of the stored chemicals as well as saving money for the town of Mansfield!

@ndiscawicz, I'm assuming there will be a designated drop off location the day of FFM. Where might this be so people know in advance or how do we get these to you? @fitch4?
