Here is the coral seller list as of now. There are a few "still need to confirms" so there will be a few additions in the next few weeks, but this should wet your appetite! It is also only the coral sellers. I will post the "dry goods" people in a bit when I clean up the list a bit.
Feel free to post this list where ever to help me spread the word.
Thanks-
-Jon

Raffle "leak"...
Logan at ReefBreeders is putting a 4 channel dosing pump into the raffle at the FFM this year. I also want to extend a special thanks to him for offering to light tanks at the FFM for people who need (including the school's tank!) He will also be at the FFM this year showing off his LED fixtures, pumps, etc... A great guy and a great company- thanks Logan!

I have gotten a TON of emails asking for clarification on how the FFM works so I thought it might be easier to just post the general info for people who have not been in the past.
The FFM is on March 7th and the doors open to the public at 11am (there is usually quite a line by then!). There are no advance tickets, you just need to pay at the door that day. Admission is $5 per person. Spouses, and kids under 15 are free.
It is a GIANT coral market, with a TON of corals for sale. Some swapping does go on but it is really just a way to bring together as many hobbyists and local shops as I can to sell off their "homegrown" stuff. The focus is really on the "homegrown" corals and promoting aquaculture, so you can figure on seeing lots of frags of all different types.
My seller list is pretty much full and I already have a small waiting list to get a space if people cancel but people are welcome to shoot me a PM and get on it. I have already had some spots open, so you never know!
Do me a favor in the last few weeks- spread the word! I need this event EVERYWHERE (facebook, twitter, instagram, other forums, etc...). Help me to make sure EVERYONE atleast knows about it. Thanks!
-Jon

The FFM always puts me in an awkward spot around this time. Typical meetings encourage people to post things that they have for sale, that they would be willing to bring to the meeting. For the FFM, I have hobbyists who have paid to have a space so that the can sell their frags to the attendees. In fairness to the hobbyists and shops that have paid in, I would prefer that the "what I have posts" be limited to the people who will be setting up at the FFM. I am not saying that people do not sell outside of the vendors, but I really have to try to keep it fair for the people who are committing to the FFM to sell. I would love to see all of my vendors post pics of the sweet corals that they are bringing along so people will know why they NEED to come to the FFM this year. Hopefully, people understand my position on this.

Lou Elkus, from Tropic Marin and a huge supporter of the school's project, and I had been talking about the range of the crowd at the FFM- from legendary reefer to complete newbie. Lou mentioned that he gives a number of talks about reef chemistry. Having talked to Lou a number of times about various aspects of my own reefs, I thought it would be a great idea to include one of Lou's talks at the FFM to get some of the newer people up to speed on their own tanks. Here is the official announcement for Lou's talk:

At 1pm in the lecture hall of the school (just around the corner from all the corals!) Lou will be giving a talk titled "Basic Reef Chemistry." The talk will be focused on teaching the newer reefer the basics of reef chemistry including calcium, alkalinity, magnesium and more. I have heard Lou speak a number of times and he really has a gift for breaking down the complex ideas of reef chemistry into an easily understandable package. I highly recommend it. Oh, and by the way, the talk is FREE and anyone who attends the talk will be in the running for a $25 FFM Gift Certificate to be pulled at the end of the talk.
Thanks and see you all in a few weeks!
Jon

@Aqua-Dreams I only buy scoly and plates etc at these type of events because it's about the only time reasonable prices can be found. Hope that helps.
