To those who planned/executed the swap... Bravo!

Just want to say a HUGE thanks to all of the club officers and many others who helped pull this years swap off! I believe it was a good success and I'm fairly positive that at least the guys from Colorado will be coming back (Steel City and ReefKoi).

Its really exciting seeing people come from afar (I know of Colorado, California, and Wisconsin) to sell in addition to all of the regional people. I don't think there were quite as many sellers this year, but we still had a great crowd!

Good stuff! Lets get next year even bigger and then, who knows? Maybe MACNA Nashville?

+1 here you all, I loved it. It was my first and a great one. Thanks much, I appreciate it. Mark, Tristate Reef Club.

We had a great time. Special thanks to Norm and Wayne for their work and for sticking around last night, and to Rhett for the tank. It's always good getting to see everyone again (and putting new faces with names).

I just got done dipping everything and was taking stock and realized that Jenn's Prism Favia was missing. We took it out near the end of the swap to show someone and it didn't make it back with us. It was in a specimen cup with a green top (like Triton's Garden's and Reefkoi-it came from Reefkoi). It was the only coral I was actually authorized to buyD) because she wanted it pretty bad, so she's pretty bummed. If anyone saw it laying out and picked it up, please let me know so I can get rid of her frown...

I did want to take a second to say thanks to Wayne for letting my daughters pick the winning raffle tickets. They loved it. Next year I will have to instruct them in how to pick my winning tickets

It's In the spring I think around march but just go to the ETRC forum to find out for sure. IMHO It's well worth going though a little smaller but a great bunch of people.:thumbsup:

ETRC is generally in June, Chattanooga in August, and West Tn (Memphis) in September (near third Saturday of month for all three). Nashville has historically been the largest every year, but attendance at all swaps seems to have been down across the board over the last year. Always good stuff at each one, though. Mark your calendars and keep an eye out for those rough dates for word on the different swaps.

This was my first and got some really nice pieces. Hubby says spent too much, but had a great time. Thanks MTRC

Thanks for correcting my old memory, As I said though they are all fun the bigger or not does not matter to me It's the people and friends you make at all of them. And all of them have experts In the hobby to learn and get great frags from JMO I could be wrong:thumbdown

Me too. We'll be moving in July, so June will be the perfect time to sell the crap out of my corals before I take my tank down to move.

Tell your daughters they did a great job:thumbsup: I won the Platinum Clown, and my bud i rode down with won the cardiff nano!

It was our first event hosted by MTRC, we drove down 4 hours, and it was worth every penny (or i should say hundreds of dollars) that we spent. :lmao::thumbsup:
