Why was MAX (April 2-3, Costa Mesa, CA) removed by RC staff? If I didn't already know about it that would be really frustrating. I'm curious why such a big show isn't on the list.
 
Count me in for the Denver show! I said to the better half the other day that our display tank would be ready for critters about february-ish. She said, "Can we just get tank stuff for Valentines day then?". It's a couple days after, but almost perfectly timed!

I'll be setting up a new tank if I go to all these swaps in florida!

Keep checking back.

This is only a Small Fraction of all the Swaps.

Many have not been announced yet.

We are just waiting for the Dates and then they will be posted here.
 
Out of curiosity, how big are these get togethers and are they really worth traveling a ways to get there. In other words, will there be deals that will make it worth it all the hours riding in the car?

They are Most Definetly Worth the Drive.

The Day I went to my First Frag Swap was also the Day I Stopped Going to LFS's LOL.

I attend every swap within about a 4 hours radius (That is each way so 8 Hours Drive Total).

I never miss a Swap.

Greatest Idea Ever!!!!!

If you do not go to Frag Swaps you are Truly Missing Out on all that this Hobby has to Offer.

It depends on the Swap as some are bigger than others.

Some last the whole weekend but most are single day only.

The biggest swaps that I have been to have had over 50 Vendors from all over the country including Cherry Corals and Jason Fox.

Over 800 people attended these Frag Swaps too.

They had Huge Raffles with Corals, LED Lights, Frag Saws, Tanks, etc.

They also included a Few Guest Speakers.

You meet lots of Great People too.

Too Much Fun!!!!!!!!
