Hey everybody, this is preliminary!!!!!!! I was playing with some formating and did not mean to post up just yet. We just added the photo album and obviously, there are no pics. Also, location and time are preliminary. We will confirm later this week, or first of next.

At that time, I will post on other club threads.

In other words......OOPS, I goofed!!!!!

We have had several people express interest in setting up tables at our frag auction. We have discussed this and would like to try a “split” venue. A vendor may set up a table at our event for a fee of $50 per table plus frag donations for the auction. There is no size restriction on the tables. For each 50 lot, we would like you to donate 1 coral for the auction. (0-50 corals = 1 donation, 51-100 corals = 2 donations, etc.). Donated corals must be considered rare or LE (in other words, no brown mushrooms, xenia, GSP, etc.). Donated frags must be fully healed (no fresh cut frags). The proceeds from the donated coral will be 100% to SWFMAS.

For our purposes, a vendor is considered anyone who sells retail (store or internet), anyone who has a FL Aquaculture certificate or a resale or wholesale certificate. A vendor could also be considered anyone that has a large set-up and is capable of producing large amounts of frags (like me!)

If you plan on setting up a table, please be there at 11:00 a.m. the day of the event and post a short list of some of the items you will be bringing at the following link:
