NJ Reefers Club Frag Swap & Symposium

[Phyl]

New Jersey Reefers Club is throwing an all out Frag Swap & Symposium. We're flying speakers in from around the country and recruiting local stores, On-line stores, and local area Fraggers as vendors for the swap. We've gotten some excellent donations thus far with far more on their way. The raffles should be great.



To anyone who keeps a frag system, I say consider getting a table (or 1/2 or sharing a table with another reefer)! With a table you'll be able to setup a tank. You'll be surprised how many folks come just to shop with no pre-arranged plans!

Hope to see you all there!

Is this swap open to hobbyists to sell/trade or just vendors?

Do you have a list of vendors that will be there?

 

[billyr98]

so far here is the vendor list, http://www.njreefers.org/joomla/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=65&Itemid=52

plus a lot of sponsors have sent things..
like live aquaria and sunlight supply, reefscience and many more..

 

[Phyl]

We have a couple more BIG vendors we're hoping to bring in and we'd love it if some of our local fraggers would get/share tables as well (gives you the opportunity to set up a table, which is a HUGE selling point).

Otherwise we've just started the swap forum over at NJRC for folks to arrange trades/sale, advertise their corals and chat about the swap.

The list of folks who will be attending can be found HERE which you can also use to register and hold your spot for the day.

The Swap Forum is up now. Let the chatter begin!

Thanks! Should be a great day. I'm really looking forward to the talk on flow dynamics by Jake Adams (along with the presentations by Scott Fellman & Richard Harker). We met him at MACNA and he seems like a really great guy.

We also just got confirmation that Dr. Mac, Mr. Coral, and Ice Cap will be there among our other vendors. We're expecting a few more names to be added to the docket over the next few days.

Vendor count is up to 19, the coral count should hit more than 2k with Dr. Mac bringing 400 and Sea Treasures bringing 500. Between them, Mr. Coral, JRod/SMCooler, CamZ, Edward771, Marine Farmers... 2K should be an easy mark to hit. Not to mention all of the local area reefers with corals to sell.

Looking forward to a great day. See you all on Saturday!
