In the midst of the pre-swap, frag ogling frenzy, it often gets over-looked that the Swap is an opportunity to do much more than trade and buy corals. We make every effort to make your experience an educational one by presenting demos or workshops throughout the day. We also bring in world class speakers to help you hone your reef keeping skills.
For those of you who didn't have the chance to attend MACNA in Dallas this year we have you covered! Fresh off their standing room only MACNA presentations, Sanjay Joshi and Paul Whitby will reprise these very same talks that were widely regarded as among the best the conference had to offer.
