will you be using reeftrader?

 

[TheCamaroShow]

I think the sooner we get on reef trader the better because people are looking at Lear and will see our swap and that's our main clientele.

 

[acer]

Yes -I talked to club President yesterday about Reeftrader.

 

[Renton777]

Perfect! The swap is up on reeftrader: https://www.reeftrader.com/swaps/87

I plan on making the trip, its nice timing about a month and a half after LEAR, I will have new frags ready to go!

We also just confirmed that a world famous member of 3RMAS will be doing can animal show at the swap. It will feature the "eagle owl"- think Harry Potter. Check out the
pictures on his website. https://wildworldofanimals.org

If we don't get more stuff posted soon, I'm going to have to spend my money on responsible adult things. :lolspin:

We have reduced the price of a Hobbyist table to $60 with no required raffle donation.

At least 5 pages on Reeftrader since I checked yesterday - some very nice frags. We have raffles items donated by Bulk reef, and Marine depot and a grap bag from Neptune. Up to 13-14 vendors ( including an artist, phytoplankon , and a local store) and several hobbyist tables are taken.

Is there a cost to enter the frag swap as a non-member? Can't wait to go! I've upgraded my tank and waiting for this frag swap to fill in the extra space

 

[TheCamaroShow]

I'm offering deals on corals for 3rmas members and deals on frag packs if anyone in interested.

I would like to thank the volunteers that came out and made the swap possible and succesful- without them - this could not have happened. Some of the volunteers were not even hobbyists (spouses, teenagers, adult kids of hobbyists, etc.). I hope everyone had a good time. We had over 300 people come to the swap yesterday and 16 Vendors, several hobbyist sellers, and numerous Reeftraders who all left happy and ready to come back next year. One of the biggest successes of the swap was the club gained several new members. The event also provided an opportunity to increase community awareness of our hobby thru the TV spot ( thank you to Grant from Wild World of Animals) and the possible upcoming article in the Washington county newspaper.
