How tall are the tables there and I don't see my name on the layout yet?

Hit F5 on your keyboard to refresh this page. I don't know what height they are but it is a standard 8 foot table

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 attended my first Frag Swap today with my youngest son and had a great time.  Picked up some good stuff, some free advice but, unfortunately, didn't win any of the raffle items.  Thanks to everyone that worked so hard to organize and run this event.

I hadn't been to a swap in years and now I know why  :(  They make my wallet turn upside down and empty out lol I had a good time though and bought more than I should have but I'll be at the next one.

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!

I want to say thanks to all that cam to the show. It was a lot of hard work but was defiantly worth it. Thanks to all the sponsors/vendors and hobbyist that showed up as well to offer great prices and great live stock/dry goods.


Hope to see you all again next year.

Nice to meet u and ur son at the swap. Sure wished I had got there earlier before everything sold. If you are interested in selling me a piece of you rosebud birdsnest in the future, I would be very appreciative! Yours looked the best out of all.

Thanks, Wes

Bummed I had to miss it :( apparently I have to do this thing called work now.
As they both sank to the bottom of the river, the frog said "do you mind if I ask you something? You said there would be no logic in your stinging me. Why did you do it?" "It has nothing to do with logic," the drowning scorpion sadly replied. "It's just self destruction is my nature."

I never imagined that we would ever fill such as massive facility. Thank you to all the Hobbyists, Vendors and Earlybirds for coming out and supporting Ohio Reef. It was a great day. Here are a few shots for those that couldn't make it this year.
