OK, I wanted to update everyone on our upcoming frag swap, especially with vendor count and new raffle prize info

The date is August 20th from 12PM to 4PM, and the place is the Fairfield Marriott Inn & Suites, which is one mile off of I-85 at Exit 11 (Mitlyene). We'll have signs up, but you can see the hotel from I-85 and it is really easy to find.

Admission is free, of course, and as of now we have 8 confirmed vendors (some new faces in the mix, which will be great for everyone) and a few more possibly attending. While the site is the same as last year, we will also have the meeting room across the hall, so we will be able to spread out and will have plenty of space.

The raffle is shaping up nicely, as we have some great prizes:

a Vortec MP40WES :celeb1:;
"¢ a retrofit LED fixture;
"¢ a Hamilton MH pendant;
"¢ a Bulk Reef Supply bio-pellet reactor and bio-pellets;
"¢ 4 sets of 4 packages of different varieties of Rod's Food;
"¢ Salifert Alkalinity and Calcium test kits;
"¢ A 200G box of Reef Crystals salt;
"¢ Gift cards from sponsors, table vendors and local vendors;
"¢ Livestock being donated by some of the vendors; and
"¢ more to be announced.

Raffle tickets are $1 each or 15 for $10.

If you aren't familiar with a frag swap, it's a great opportunity to beef up your display, try a new species or variety of coral, or even help to populate a new tank. Folks of all levels of expertise will be there to talk with and share the hobby and their experiences. If you can make it, I don't think you'll be disappointed. You'll go home with some cool corals and maybe even a great prize from the raffle. If anyone has any questions, please don't hesitate to ask here or send me a PM.

Hope to see you there!
 
I've got an update to the raffle - we've added a new 250W Sunlight Supply ballast to the Hamilton Bali Sun pendant. You buy the bulb of your choice and you are ready to go!

Also - we just added a vendor who is coming down from Nashville. Going to be lots of cool stuff here, folks!

Happy to announce that we have now had some :bounce3:PANAMANIAN ZOAS:bounce3: donated for the raffle! These are seriously cool, folks, and normally very pricy. Thanks to mike_dani for the donation!

Hope to see everyone there!
 
I'm excited and ready to come back down to Montgomery for the frag swap. I lived and worked in Millbrook/Wetumpka several years ago and really miss the area. Do you have directions to the swap?
 
Take I-85 east to exit 11 (Mitylene). Keep right at the bottom of the ramp and turn onto Chantilly Parkway. Stay in the right lane for less than a half mile. At the next light (McDonalds on the right), turn right onto EastChase Parkway. The hotel will be just ahead on your left.
 
I wanted to update everyone on the vendor count. We have 10 vendors coming, with several from the north part of the state and even one from Nashville. Our local sponsors will also be represented and we have a new vendor coming from Phenix City. Last, we have a couple of tables run by members of our club.

There will be just about anything you can imagine at the swap, from LE SPS to ricordea, exotic zoas to clams, and even some equipment. Hope to see you there!
