Although I had intended to stay for the speakers I basically bought what I wanted and left. It was way to small and hot for the amount of people in the room. Picked up some really nice frags from SMCOOLER. There was food? :lol: Thanks!
What did everyone think of the swap???

I would like to thank all the MR members for putting this together . You put on a great swap and the layed back attitude was really nice. I was able to meet some great people and pick up some really nice stuff for my tank ,can't really ask for more than that . The vendors had some great stuff and prices were fair.
The Pratt tanks are a amazing , its great to see what can be accomplished if done right. Looking forward to the next one,thanks again.

I just started my tank and went to the frag to get more info. I really liked walking around and seeing the variety of corals and equipment. It was cool to put a face to the names as well. I thank MR for putting this together and all the vendors that attended.
I did hope to see more demonstrations and talks for beginners as I am just getting into the hobby. It is at all possible for the more experienced members and vendors to do mini talks and demonstrations? This, I think, would also bring in a bigger crowd. I can help in putting this together for the next frag swap. Who do I need to contact? Can this be done?

Just walked in the door, ugh it's almost 8pm, Kudos to the vendors and MR members for taking up so much of their time for us all! I am exhausted and almost half tempted to just throw all my goodies right in the tank.... but of course I won't(even though I'd rather be doing this right now--:tub
acclimation has begun I can't even imagine how spent all you guys must be.
Next swap I'll be sure to start making chocolate bars a week in advance-- 100 candy bars, what was I thinking :duh: LMAO.
Was most excellent to put faces with names.

In the past we usually have had demonstrations, such as how to frag corals. At every frag swap we usually try and do some different things, including have different speakers, who cover various topics. With each swap getting bigger and bigger it can be tough to make sure everything is covered and keep the interest of everyone, both newbies and experience hobbyist.
Aguasalada in the future if you have any questions you can approach any of the MR mods or people helping out, they're wearing the white MR shirts. They will discuss any question you may have or direct you to someone that can help you. I know it can be intimidating, especially when you are new, but there isn't any person on MR that wouldn't make time and help you.

As for the room being crowded, we know before hand that it may have been a problem and there was some concern over it.
We also have had discussing about finding a bigger place for future swaps, especially since MR keeps getting larger and larger.

ah, swap was great. It was packed but it was still great. Met a lot of people, chatted with lots of folks, lots of good head nods and smiles.
I brought a friend of mine along that generally dismisses everything I say about this hobby as geek speak (i.e. irrelevant since it doesn't match her geekdom), and she was pretty into it. She definitely loved Randy's tank, and got into how excited all us reefers were about a bunch of 'skeletons'.
She definitely got the comradery, and devotion we have for this stuff. She likens us to shoe addicts...
We left early so she could go check out shoe sales at Union Sq....(and some other stuff but namely that)
