A local frag swap is another great way to become knowledgable and meet like-minded folks. This type of venue provides a unique opportunity to do some reef keeping speed dating and connect with vendors, fellow hobbyists and industry experts to learn and share experiences. The key is to become a sponge and soak up as much as possible. I have visited many swaps and this past Sunday I attended one of my favorites, the Manhattan by Leonard Ho | Dec 16, 2016 | Advanced Aquarist
