Michigan Coral Expo & Swap - Feb. 21, 2016 - Lansing, MI

MCES is has a legendary reputation for its raffle and this year will not disappoint. The raffle drawing will be at 3:30.


Note that you MUST be present to win as prizes will NOT be mailed or delivered.


Raffle tickets are sold in bundles 10 for $10 or $20 for 25.




As usual, we don't want to leave you in total suspense, so I'll post a few of the items that will be in the raffle over the next few days... first up....




From one of our biggest supporters Inland Hobby, we have one of these in the raffle:


INLAND HOBBY DFS-100 REEFKEEPER SAW

As seen in Reef Hobbyist Magazine! Coral fragging has just gotten easier with the ReefKeeper saw. It is made to meet the specific needs of Reef Aquarists:


- Reduced Heat Transfer Yields More Viable Frags: Heat is the enemy when cutting corals; it destroys tissue and seriously affects viability, especially with sensitive species like chalice corals. The DFS-100 ReefKeeper Saw employs a continuously cooled narrow diamond blade to dramatically reduce heat transfer to the delicate tissue when cutting. Less heat means more viable frags can become healthy colonies to swap or sell.


- Clearance to Handle Larger Specimens: Saw through materials as tall as 3 1/2" - something you can't do with cut-ff wheels, tile saws, or any other band saw. So go ahead, tackle that Tubastrea or Favites or any large specimen with confidence.


- Narrow Cutting Path: Rotary tools and tile saws plow a wide swath through your valuable stock. The narrow diamond blade of the DFS-100 ReefKeeper Saw is removing the least possible amount of material as it cuts, resulting in less waste - up to three times less!
 
Here's another awesome prize available in our raffle donated by @Acryliccreationspa:

All-in-One Nano Frag tank
18x18x10 (14 gallons)
with/ 2 neon frag racks
Corner overflow and pump.

This would be great for a small swap setup and/or addition to your home setup!

As info guys, went to pruess in Lansing to get an emergency bulk head. They have cleaned up their tank, insanely cleaned them up. It's possible they did this because of the swap coming up and the amount of traffic that will be coming through. I am hopeful that they are not adjusting temporarily but making this a long term habit of having appropriately cared for tanks rather than neglected.

On another note - just a few more days until the swap!!
 
The Swap is Right Around the Corner.
