Is there a Frag swap coming near you?

[Gumbies R Us]

I think there is one coming to Nashville soon, but I don't know if I am going to drive to it or not

For Ohio area:

We just had one in Cincinnati on the 20th.

Upcoming:

LEAR Frag Swap - February 24, 2024 ( I think) - Strongsville, OH area

INDMAS Frag Swap - March 9, 2024 - Western Ohio/Indianapolis area

NORE Fraggenstein Frag Swap - I don’t think 2024 has been announced but typically around September - Cleveland Area

CORA Frag Swap - I don’t think the 2024 dates been announced yet but usually late in the year (October/November) - Columbus Area

Ohio Reef Club Frag Swap - I don’t think 2024 has been announced yet but usually September - Dayton Area

That’s all I’m aware of. I know @CherryCorals
I think had one last year here in Ohio but can’t recall the name or dates

I went to the Cincy swap last weekend. Not quite as good as last year (maybe due to weather) but well worth the 90 minute drive for me. Hopefully the INDMAS swap will grow.

I need to look into that. There was one that happened over in Indy just after I jumped back into reefing last year. I didn't hear about it until the week after That was last year this time...

Edit: I looked it up...
INDMAS 2024 frag swap on March 9th in Indianapolis.

I go to this one every year. I'm really looking forward to seeing everyone in the aquarium society. I moved 2 hours away from the major city, so I don't get to attend the meetings anymore and see everyone that often.

@rhitee93 make sure you sign up to INDMAS at the swap. The first so many to sign up get a free frag that is donated by the club members. They have monthly meetings, which is a great time to hang out and learn. They also give out prizes/gift cards during the meetings.

Not technically a frag swap, but the closest thing I know of is probably The Reef Farm open house they do twice a year now. Next one is February 17th. It's near Wake Forest.

Excellent, thank you!

LEAR

northeast Ohio and it’s usually a great one.

+1

Between Ohio and Florida it’s probably the best swap I’ve experienced (not counting Reefapalooza).

I wish more swaps would utilize ReefTrader. It would help a lot of reefers that have fewer frags to sell and don’t want to set up a table.

I haven’t been to any of the ones I posted but all (except INDMAS) are within a 2.5 hour drive for me. Unfortunately my work schedule doesn’t usually permit me to go to them.

You going to try and make LEAR?

[cilyjr]

Are we talking old-fashioned frag swaps or frag farmer markets?
The ladder being where there are vendors selling...

 

[ScottJ]

We have the Flower City Frag Fest 10 coming up March 10th in Upstate NY.

Not this time around. I have to work unfortunately.

 

[Popp's Reef]

i think there's one up at lancaster every year. i've missed it the last two years.

If your talking about the one held at That Fish Place in lancaster they have it this year October 5th according to their website.

 

[HandsyLobster]

Is there any in South Florida or Florida in General?

It appears since the onset of Covid-19, frag swaps have been few and rare. Im starting to see a few listed throughout the US. In Wi, there is one coming up this weekend and I believe later this year in Green Bay, WI

Do you have one coming up in your area, and where would that be?

Post your known frags swaps forthcoming so others are aware of it and also may be a good opportunity to meet other members in your area.

If you have none in your area, what is it you miss most about attending these events?

For myself, seeing other reefers, the show specials, availability of dry goods and the reefing atmosphere

Man I miss Ohio it was so nice to have it all I swear. I took a lot for granted that’s for sure. You don’t miss it till you’re gone.

Alaska has a big fat zero swaps, to be expected though I guess.

Be super if there was one near me. I can go to St. Louis. Des Moines. Or Quad City! Let’s get one started. My tank isn’t mature enough but I’d be stoked to bring some to the one next year.
