At this point I am entertaining the notion of Thomas getting an extra ticket and Facetiming me in. He can put my wristband around the phone and be my legs when it's my turn

Is this strictly for swapping frags? I'm new and don't have any to swap but would like to buy some more and buy tickets for the prizes.

No We will have several vendors on site selling frags, you can go to Your Reef and get a 3 frag pack to use for your entrance also.
Always welcome people to come for the raffle!!!

Raffle Ticket Prices
This year, instead of using the long strands of tickets, we will be issuing sheets of 25 tickets that all have the same number. This is greatly simplify the raffle for both you and for the event staff.
We would like to send a big shout out of THANKS to Kim and Keith at NVR for the idea.
Prices
$20 = 1 Sheet = 25 tickets
$40 = 2 Sheets = 50 tickets
$60 = 3 Sheets = 75 tickets
$80 = 4 Sheets = 100 tickets
$100 = 5 Sheets = 125 tickets
...etc...
There will be a progressive raffle (where you are entered if you spend over a specific amount of money) and a 50-mile raffle, both of which you will be automatically entered in at the payment table if you qualify.
Progressive Raffle: LED Light
The more you spend the more progressive tickets you get
Spend $100 = 1 Progressive Raffle Ticket+regular tickets
Spend $200 = 2 Progressive Raffle Tickets+regular tickets
****** Spend $240 = 3 Progressive Raffle Tickets+Free Single Entry+ regular tickets******
50-mile Raffle
You are automatically given 1 ticket for this raffle if you drove over 50 miles to come to the swap.
Ticket Reminders
1. We will not replace lost tickets. It is your responsibility to keep track of them. We replaced multiple lost tickets last year. We will not again. Tickets should be much easier for you to manage this year.
2. Ticket folding is not allowed. Tickets that are folded will be removed from the bag prior to selection.
3. Due to issues in previous years, we will not be allowing children participants to draw the winning tickets.
4. You must be present at the swap to claim your prize, we will redraw tickets if the prize is unclaimed.

Great swap thanks all
Dip method - I grab ros_sco and powderhounds corals lol hahaha but seriously I dip every coral no matter where it came from
Na Bayer all the way. If I don't like the way something looks when I get home I no longer chance it and it gets tossed. Usually try inspecting before picking tho. 5mlD to 500mlW to 5 min depending on coral and origin. Sometimes longer and I now use a 1500ml dip contain er and strainer so I triple except time usually 10min.
Got some great stuff that I lost back in the crash so was stoked.
I couldn't believe scoly was playing pokiemon on the go in the swap area and walked out with a pickachu who knew it could actually be cool bwahahah
