OK, I wanted to update everyone on our upcoming frag swap, especially with vendor count and new raffle prize info.

The date is August 20th from 12PM to 4PM, and the place is the Fairfield Marriott Inn & Suites, which is one mile off of I-85 at Exit 11 (Mitlyene). We’ll have signs up, but you can see the hotel from I-85 and it is really easy to find.

Admission is free, of course, and as of now we have 8 confirmed vendors (some new faces in the mix, which will be great for everyone) and a few more possibly attending. While the site is the same as last year, we will also have the meeting room across the hall, so we will be able to spread out and will have plenty of space.
The raffle is shaping up nicely, as we have some great prizes:

• a Vortec MP40WES 1smile1;
• a retrofit LED fixture;
• a Hamilton MH pendant;
• a Bulk Reef Supply bio-pellet reactor and bio-pellets;
• 4 sets of 4 packages of different varieties of Rod’s Food;
• Salifert Alkalinity and Calcium test kits;
• A 200G box of Reef Crystals salt;
• Gift cards from sponsors, table vendors and local vendors;
• Livestock being donated by some of the vendors; and
• more to be announced.

Raffle tickets are $1 each or 15 for $10.

If you aren’t familiar with a frag swap, it’s a great opportunity to beef up your display, try a new species or variety of coral, or even help to populate a new tank. Folks of all levels of expertise will be there to talk with and share the hobby and their experiences. If you can make it, I don’t think you’ll be disappointed. You’ll go home with some cool corals and maybe even a great prize from the raffle.

If anyone has any questions, please don't hesitate to ask here or send me a PM. Hope to see you there!

how many people will be setting up tables to sell coral

As of this morning, we have nine confirmed with at least two new (to our swap) vendors coming from Nashville and Phenix City, AL. Hope you can make it!

I've got an update to the raffle - we've added a new 250W Sunlight Supply ballast to the Hamilton Bali Sun pendant. You buy the bulb of your choice and you are ready to go!

Also - as I mentioned in the post just above, we just added a vendor who is coming down from Nashville. Going to be lots of cool stuff here, folks!

New (SWEET) Raffle Item!

Happy to announce that we have now had some :marv PANAMANIAN ZOAS :marv donated for the raffle! These are seriously cool, folks, and normally very pricy. Thanks to R2R's mike_dani for the donation - he will also be on site as one of our vendors with a lot of nice frags and colonies for sale.

Hope to see everyone there!

We had a great time hanging out with everyone again. Jenn had a blast Kylie:). My jones for sun coral is hitting anew high now. Got some awesome SPS from H@rry, a nice green alvie, and a nice neon green goji from mike (and nice trades from Tomoko and Will). After getting my corals back into clean water, most of them are looking good again.

Thanks Mark. Everything looked great and opened up within 30 minutes of getting it home, so something in the water had them ticked off. I hope everyone who got frags from had the same experience (looking fine after getting them in their tanks).
