The seller list for the 2018 FFM is pretty much full. If there are hobbyists out there who are interested, let me know and I will add you to the waiting list.

If there are companies who would like to come out for the day, get in touch soon. I do have space for companies still but that will fill up too! With over 1000 people in attendance the last two years and a VERY low set-up fee, you will be glad you made the trip!

Would love to have you come back and visit- been a long time since you have seen you old reefing buddies. You won't believe how HUGE the FFM has gotten!

I just got the official word that CaribSea will be supplying the water again for the FFM. I just want to give a shout out to Betsey and everyone down at Caribsea for their continued support of the school project and the FFM.

 

[fitch4]

A have a few pre FFM announcements coming in the next few days- stay tuned!

 

[fitch4]

Big Pre-Frag Farmer's Market giveaway thanks to Red Sea and the FFM. Many of the local shops will be participating. I'll post a list of the stores in a few days as they get in touch!

 

[fitch4]

Just one month to go before the Frag Farmer's Market! Still have quite a few big announcements to make about this year's FFM- going to be even bigger than last year!

 

[fitch4]

Here is the contest that is associated with the FFM this year- thanks to Lou from Tropic Marin! I have three corals that need names (so I can charge twice as much for them when I sell them...). I am not looking for the scientific names, something a little more fun! Here are quick descriptions of each to compensate for my poor photography skills:

Coral #1 is a Neon green Leptoseris (maybe?) with a purpleish growth rim

Coral #2 is a Light, mint green Acropora with big "bulby" coralites

Coral #3 is a deep purple Rhodactis mushroom with neon green fringing tentacles

Email your names to me with the subject "2018 FFM Coral Name Entry" by Thursday March 1st to be considered. Winners will be announced on the FB page, and here on RC that night. Winners MUST pick up their salt buckets at the FFM on March 3rd- just another reason to go to the biggest event on the East Coast! Thanks to Lou Elkus and Tropic Marin for sponsoring this FFM contest!
