    I actually thought about going to this when you all first announced it. Looks like it was an awesome turn out. I recognize some of the sellers from our frag swap! Our club is having a swap on Feb 20th...hope turn out is like that

    WOW!!! :eek: ~ 500 people! I believe it! I was able to be there for about 2 1/2 hours and it was elbow to elbow. Thank you MTRC members and sponsors that was awesome. I got the chance to talk to SOME of the members, man was it crowded lol, they are very nice people. Pickupman I saw you talking to a hand full of folks, but I got distracted buying a Tricolored Staghorn :eek: from Fishdoc (I believe was his name) then when I turned back around you were gone. So I'm sorry that I didn't get the chance to thank you in person. But any way thanks for keepin us 3REEFers informed on the show, it's much appreciated.

    They do have "frag swaps" in Ohio, although I think the term "fragswap" is used a little loosely here :)

    I call these mini conventions as you don't really swap corals, but rather buy them from dealers and hobbyists. Our club swap, and many around our area, are true swaps. You put corals into a pool and get so many picks from that pool.

    Ohio Fragswap: April 30 - WORC, Western Ohio.. Western Ohio Reef Club

    On another note I am glad this one went well once again and Reef Nutrition is bummed we couldn't be there this year :(
