With this being our 6th SWAP, WORC has established partnerships with some great corporations over the years. Many of which year after year donate to our club. We are very appreciative of their support therefore each week we will be spotlighting; them sharing information about their products, company and what they have donated to the raffle. You can also see a listing of those companies supporting us this year and previous years by visiting our dedicated Frag Swap Page.

Sea Dwelling Creatures is primarily a live stock wholesaler. They are located just 300 feet from Los Angeles International Airport. It is considered the Nation's largest Marine Wholesaler with over 120,000 gallons of holding tanks. Eric Cohen (owner) is commonly a guest on the TV show Tanked.


Donation: SDC has donated to WORC 500$ worth of coral that will be available to win at the raffle.

If you have been to one of our Frag Swaps you have probably seen CeramEco products. CeramECO makes Vida Rock. Vida Rock is an Eco friendly alternative for building your dream aquascape. It is made from clay and engineered to give high porosity to enhance biological filtration.


At CreamEco they don’t believe aquascaping should be limited by how well you can stack rock. Aquascaping with VidaRock is a creative process that will reward your desire to create a realistic reef and showcase natures’s beauty and your handiwork.


If you like to add this rock alternative to your tank consider asking your sponsors/LFS to consider stocking it for you. Take a look at the great shapes their rock comes in and the endless possibilities it creates for a creative looking aquascape. Home

As items are beginning to role in from club supporters for the raffle thought we would share some information about it and how to get free raffle tickets.


How the Raffle works
At the swap there will be a staging area with several tables setup. The raffle items will be displayed on the tables along with a collection cup next to each item. Place your raffle tickets in the collection cups for the items you wish to win. The raffle tickets can be purchased at the swaps entrance where you pay admittance fee. When the raffle has started someone will mix up the tickets in the collection cup and blindly select one. If it is yours you win that item. The more tickets purchased the better your chances of winning and there is no limit to the number of items you can win. You must be present to win.


How To Get 3 Free Raffle Tickets
In addition to purchasing raffle tickets you can obtain free tickets for posting items for sale on Fragswapper. For every three unique items you post on Fragswapper you will receive one free raffle ticket up to a maximum of 3 free tickets. Swap vendors are excluded from receiving free raffle tickets.Your tickets will be waiting for you when you arrive. Just tell the cashier your Fragswapper email address


Note: A unique item on Fragswapper no matter how many "quantity" counts as one item. i.e. One item with quantity of nine is considered one item.


How about a few pics of some raffle items
