LMAS will once again be in attendance as we do each year. This swap is def one of the better ones we've been too, although the Cincy Swap yesterday was really nice as well.

Can't wait

How far out of Nashville is this located? My best bud lives in Nashville so I might go visit her and then head to the fragswap. Also, I live about three hours from Nashville. What is the best way to transport corals for over three hours of driving? A cooler and heat packs...anything else I need? Thanks!

 

[zef004]

What part of Nashville.
If you know Nashville. It's right by starwood amptheater. That about 10min southeast from the Nashville airport.


Also like to add Reef Kingdom Attending Vendor

Was there last year and it was great, will make plans to attend it this year too.

Doesn't look like many people are posting on FragSwapper except for meisen (who has the smallest frags, by the way)

 

[Pickupman66]

I would not gauge this event on what you necessarily see on Fragswapper.

 

[btkrausen]

Oh no, I'm not at all. We have come down for this several times, and have been thoroughly impressed. As vice president of LMAS now, I'm trying to get as many people to come down as possible.

Meisen has beautiful, healthy frags! Nice selection too!!!

 

[btkrausen]

Can't wait for the swap, regardless of vendor experiences. The past is in the past, and I'm a quick learner
