I want to thank all that have been involved with this Swap! I've done pretty much NOTHING and you all have worked your fish tails off!

I do look forward to helping when the big day arrives though!

Like the new layout..... ATM at the swap. That could be dangerous.

Glad you like it Paul. We made a few tweaks after going there yesterday to take some measurements and do some planning. Here is the updated layout

OK folks, let me just say that if you need something for your tank, you should be here. The swap this year has got 14 vendors, AND way too many raffle items to list. But don't forget to bring your appetite, because we are also serving food (and not pizzaa). This year we are grilling out, thanks to tidepool. Bring the family and have a great time!
Don't forget to get your tickets for some of those raffle items!

In the last 7 days over 200 new corals have been listed on fragswapper. Some of my Z's & P's are out there and they are going quick. A lot of swappers including me accept trades so don't hesitate to offer an exchange. This great event is less then two weeks away. Don't miss it or you will be banned from Ohio Reef forever. Just kidding, no really.

Here are some of the recent adds. Click here to reserve your coral today before it's gone.

Just wanted to take a moment to acknowledge the efforts of a small handful of people that are volunteering a tremendous amount of their time to bring you the best event possible this year. Dave (Hunger), Christy (sticks_wife) and Scott (stickboy_107) have spent the past three months on the phones and sending emails with 100's of corporations and vendors. Through this effort they are able to bring you great raffle items like Vortech Pump, Iwaki MX-70VT-15L, complete RO/DI units, Metal Halide and T5 lighting systems, Carbon and GFO Reactors, Reeflo Hybrid Pump and the list goes on and on. Over 60 corporations have signed on to support Ohio Reef due to their commitment to our club and the hard work of these three people. Additionally Ken (tidepool) for his time planning, preparing and ultimately cooking lunch for 200 hungry swappers. Thanks to Cyberwollf, Micki, and Kattz for their help with planning, make decisions and general support. Through the hard work of these 6 people I think you will find that this yearâ€™s swap will be the benchmark of every swap to follow.

Thanks guys, this year looks awesome. Very excited and hard to imagine that fragswapper is only half of it.

We are only 6 days away. Here are some tips for first time swappers. Experienced hobbyists feel free to post up things you have learned.

- Consider bringing a small cooler or insulated box to hold any corals you may wish to purchase. It can be a bit cool in the the venue. Also nice to take your purchases to your car and put in cooler so you don't have to carry them around all day.
- For hobbyists trading bring small bills or exact amount for a smooth transaction
- When you get to the swap you will be given a name tag to put your username. Be sure to wear it somewhere visible, as that is how other swappers are going to be able to find you easily.
- If you have committed to purchase corals on frag swapper and something comes up and you can't make it be sure to cancel your request. Some swappers may be disappointed however it is better then them packaging up corals and coming to the swap to find the hobbyist not present
- There are tables marked hobbyists. Feel free to use those table to execute a transaction or display stuff for sale/trade. They tend to go fast so get there early to setup shop. Please Limit yourself to 1/2 table.
- Consider bringing a couple extra bags or small container to hold corals. Hobbyists don't have the experience a vendor does with packing corals and they can sometimes spring a leak.
- Have a blast.

I'v never been to a swap. Could someone help me understand? I'm just wondering how thinks work on the purchasing end of things.

sticks_wife · « **Reply #59 on:** April 28, 2011, 11:26:47 »

You can go to fragswapper.com and reserve items there, or when you get there, you walk around and buy things from the vendors. Also, there will be people there that are hobbyists who bring things to sell. There is lots to choose from. Also, be sure to check out the raffle. You can purchase raffle tickets there. We have alot of great prizes for this year's raffle, and it is well worth it to show up for a chance. This year, we are cooking out, so bring your appetite.

Its like a small flea market. Only better! Because you can pick some of your items before you get there
