The list is still growing and will be much much bigger before it is done.

Add this Thread to your "Watched Thread" List and keep checking back for more Frag Swap announcements.




I just checked this years list and so far for the Months of September to December there are just 7 Swaps.

But that time period last year in 2015 had 30 Swaps!

So this List could get as much as 4 Times Bigger!

How much is the average sell price for the sps corals if you go to swap frags, are they much cheaper than you see online? I'm planning to go to Lansing, Michigan that would be 4 hours drive for me.

 

[aznnutty]

5-10 for common stuff. But you'll find a lot of rare stuff and great deals. Def worth going. My first frag swap I spent over 700 because it was deals you couldn't pass up lol

 

[fitch4]

IMO, it is worth the drive to go to a good swap- which Lansing would be. You will find a TON of corals at great prices. Like AZ said, you will find common stuff for $5 frag all the way up to rare and special prices that go for $100's. It is just cool to see the all the stuff first hand, including some of the online places- whose stuff you only see pics of. The deals are great and the diversity of coral is overwhelming. Save up before you go...

Lansing is an Awesome Swap.

You will not be disappointed.

I Promise.

It is well worth the long Drive.

So True.

There are Corals for everyone.

Whatever you are looking for Frag Swaps are the Best Place to Look.

Personally, I am going to 15 Frag Swaps in Four Different States this Year.

Wow have you been to Lansing?

It says you are from Connecticut.

That is very very far from Michigan.

Speaking of Online Vendors Both Cherry Corals and Jason Fox will be at the Lansing, Michigan Frag Swap by the way.

 

[fitch4]

Been to Lansing, yes, your swap, no but I know the rep of the swap and who will be there so I felt comfortable recommending the swap based on those. It is always tough to convince people to drive to a swap, but once you go to one, you'll go to a bunch (or organize one so everyone can come to you!). Just trying to help you guys out.

I agree.

I do not know why people need convincing.

I mean so many coral sellers in one place at one time with so many amazing corals!

If you keep Coral what reason do you have not to go?

Those that do not go have no idea on all the awesomeness that they are missing out on!
