Vendor booth reservation is now open. Same for earlybird hobbyists that would like to reserve a table. Although we have a large venue space is limited. We hit capacity last year and were not able to acomadate everyone so don't miss out. To reserve first check the blueprint here, pick your booth number and email it to Mike at worcreeffragswap@gmail.com. Yellow tables are earlybird and blue are vendors.

This years raffle grand prize is a 60 LED Orphnek lighting system donated by Gerbers Saltwater Warehouse.

Fragswapper will be open in a couple weeks. In the meantime start fragging those corals so they will be healthy when the swap rolls around.

Added Infinite Aquatics to the Vendor list, only a few more spots left.


Hobbyists have begun to start loading corals and equipment on FragSwapper. The best deals usually go within hours of their listing, may want to check it out daily so you don't miss out.


ORA and Rapid LED have kindly donated some really nice items for the raffle this year. From T-shirts to complete LED DIY Kit.

I can't wait to come again this year.......I kind of got really lucky on the raffles last year and 5 out of 6 tickets won in the last sessions.  It was to the point I was getting dirty looks from other reefers.   It's even funnier as I'm fairly unlucky when it comes to this stuff and never get a winning ticket.  I promise I won't win as much this year. :-) 

I'm hoping to have some frags available as well, I need to clean out the frag tank!!!

How the Raffle works
At the swap there will be a staging area with several tables setup. The raffle items will be displayed on the tables along with a collection cup next to each item. Place your raffle tickets in the collection cups for the items you wish to win. The raffle tickets can be purchased at the swaps entrance where you pay admittance fee. When the raffle has started someone will mix up the tickets in the collection cup and blindly select one. If it is yours you win that item. The more tickets purchased the better your chances of winning and there is no limit to the number of items you can win. However you must be present to win.


How To Get 3 Free Raffle Tickets
In addition to purchasing raffle tickets you can obtain free tickets for posting items for sale on Fragswapper. For every three unique items you post on Fragswapper you will receive one free raffle ticket up to a maximum of 3 free tickets. Swap vendors are excluded from receiving free raffle tickets. Your tickets will be waiting for you when you arrive. Just tell the cashier your Fragswapper email address which is private to the public but we have access too

Note: A unique item on Fragswapper no matter how many "quantity" counts as one item. i.e. One item with quantity of nine is considered one item.

Go to www.fragswapper.com and register for Ohio Reef organization then click on and register for 4th annual frag swap and select listings to see what else is there.


Like last year we are doing full grill again. Loaded 1/3 pound steak burgers and 1/4 pound hot dogs, side items, deserts and ice cold soft drinks.

Andrew,

Saltwater Solutions has been getting some in.  I think it's just origional, however I haven't really taken the take to look at it that closely.  I would check with them if you can't find it any where else.

As many of you have found FragSwapper has been having time out and slow page response issues since Friday evening. Fizz (Site Owner/Administrator) has confirmed it is a host problem that may not be resolved until Monday. When I hear it is back available I will let you know or if anyone finds it working please let us know. Thanks

I have requested a set of the Strombus snails from Tim (Aquavista) on Fragswapper, but he requests the items be picked up in the first 2 hours of the swap. Turns out that Lego Kids Fest is happening in Cincinnati, and we're taking my son for his birthday so I won't be able to hit the swap until roughly 2:30-3:00. Can someone pick up the snails from Tim and hold them until I get there? Thanks in advance,

Jerry

TOMORROW IS THE BIG EVENT!

Doors open at noon for general admission, and the raffle starts at 3:00. The address is 313 S. JEFFERSON DAYTON, OHIO 45402.

We are expecting an excellent turnout. Most of the live stock vendors have made special orders with their suppliers to bring in the most exotic and colorful corals.

Orpnek wanted me to let you know they are going to be bringing a bunch of inventory with some unbelievable pricing…. Here are a few items that will be available
 
DIF30 Blue
DIF30 18000k
DIF50 18000k
DIF100 Blue
PR25
PR7
ML7
They will also have a limited stock of slimlines, Mostly 48” and 60” daylight or moonlights and a couple of 36”. Also some 48” T8 LED in daylight or moonlight……
 
AND the BEST..... 3 of their NILUS units for a really special deal!!!!!


Just like any other swap the first half hour will be a madhouse with people rushing through the door anxious to get set up and treasure hunting. Please be patient as everyone settles in.

Don't forget to print off your checklist from fragswapper.

Lastly but not least here is the final swap layout


Hope everyone has a great time. See you tomorrow!

I know this is quite a bit late, but is there any chance of reserving a table?  I owe it to the club since I'm bringing 40+ frags.  The hobbyist spaces will probably be tight and should be saved for those w/fewer frags.  Thanks.

Just wanted to say thanks to all the members and vendors that made the swap possible. I had a great time and was able to spend it with my grandson which made it even better. Sold a few and picked up a few nice corals, especially nice enchinata from akroncoral and some sweet frags from several club members, thanks again.

I came looking to fill up a 110 with larger corals, but didn't find too much. Did find a great deal on an amazing plate coral from rich(coral ranch) purple rim and purple mouth, and the rest was a very very unique grayish/blue color. I've never seen anything like it before and I love it. Also stocked up on pre filters and di resin from buckeye field. Zero shipping and ten percent off... Gotta love that! I did go a bit overboard on the raffle, gambled away $70 and got a hydrometer+a little salt(I had the only two tickets in that jar lol). All in all, I made out good, got a really unique plate, a water change, a hydro(I always drop them and break out that white circle), a convienant deal on ro supplies, and the dr fosters gift bag was great! $20 off, fish food for a month, and a bottle of CA.

Just wanted to thank the event organizers for the great day! Picked up a ton of frags from, and talked to, vendors and members, won a couple raffle items, and even ran into a couple of coworkers from almost 15 years ago! It was my first swap and had a lot of fun. If I would make one change it would be a request for those bringing frags - a sign with your fragswapper name is very helpful!

Thanks again to everyone!

Thanks to the membership of Ohio Reef for putting on a great swap. Nine of us from Louisville (LMAS) were made to feel very welcome and a great time was had by all. A good variety of livestock and raffle items were offered by many hobbyists and vendors. Pricing was generous to the attendees, especially the food offered for sale. It was good to be able to buy a quality lunch for four or five dollars right there on site and my hot dog was huge and grilled perfectly. We will be back next year!

And I really appreciate the deals that were offered to me. (You know who you are) nice frags and phyto.

Was really glad to win a lamp and the ceramic rock display.
And yes lets not forget those jumbo hot dogs. Can someone tell me where to find them so I can try m on my grill?

Thanks to all who made this happen, staff members and other members and all the sponsors. And all the guest, local and distant.
