I don't sell corals therefore any area LFS or coral farmer are welcome to come setup for the day. Access will be available at
12 noon for setup.

If your hungry we are just around the corner from a pizza shop that sells really good "personal or 7 inch" sized pizzas for around $3.00! Good pizza without the "corporate" ingreediance. Other places/kinds of food are also nearby.
 
Tell us a little bit more. What is the size of the place? Is it a business? Is there decent electric availability?

Thanks for the notification. ;)

I think it's at a vacant building on the corner of Glessner and Marion. IIRC, it was an office for a CPA?

I am going to check it out after work next week. I work at the Hospital around the corner. It must be across the street from the LFS. That address is 280 Marion Ave.
 
Watch Out Tye, We are getting a Frag Swap! I know I will be there. I live betwen Marion and Tremble on Millsboro, I could almost walk there! More details would be great though.
 
Frag swap- Where reefers sell/trade coral fragments. Most of the time the frags are pretty cheap also.


I'll have to look into going. Might have a tennis match that day but not sure.
 
Hi Guys,

The building is the old Computer Creations building. The front is currently vacant. There will soon be a computer store back in that location (I own it). The back is actually already set up for computer repair - its the front of the store we are toying over how to set up....and the front is where the frag swap will take place. There should be plenty of room.

The building is just down the street (around the corner) from the fish store with the clownfish painted on the side. I dont know why he has a clownfish painted on the side - he does nothing with saltwater.

There will be power and some tables to set tanks up on.

The only thing is the floor was recently waxed so I may be a bit mythodical about letting water stand idle for long periods of time. So there will be plenty of towles and a mop :D The wax guy says it shouldent be a problem as long as I dont let it sit for hours.

It should be fun time and hopefully the weather will make for a nice ride for those who are 60 or so minutes away.

FYI: Doing the speed limit - I can get from my door to:

Downtown Columbus in 57 minutes
Downtown Cleveland in 66 minutes
Downtown Akron in 62 minutes
Downtown Massilon/Canton in 70 minutes
 
Ok, Thx.

I know there is, or atleast was, another "fish" store across the street, Thought maybe that was the one you guys were talking about...



Carrousel aquatics - I couldnt remember the name. I liked that place.
 
How much space is available? I know some of the some of the guys set up booths that take up 4' of space. What are the dimensions of the space.

Tye

At this time it is unknown about the vendors. They are welcome to come if they want. Someone said I should charge vendors if they come but Ill leave that up to them and the honor system. If they want to tip the host .. the host wont object :-D I'm more interested in having a decent frag swap with lots of variety than anything else ;)

About space - Im not sure - dont hold me to it or anything like that but I think the front is something like 900 sq ft. Gosh I forget now. Its about twice as big as the old carrousel aquatics location... only its completely empty so all the space is available.
 
It won't be as big as the Cleveland or Columbus swaps. The last time we had one there were about 75 people there. It was packed in the small LFS.
