FRAG SWAP

Hello everyone,

On behalf of The Cincinnati Reefkeepers Society, I would like to invite you to our annual Frag Swap!

At...
The Underground
1140 Smiley Ave.
Forest Park, OH 45240

On...
Saturday
October 18th, 2008
10:00 AM - 3:00 PM

You will receieve a free raffle ticket with $5 admission for our AWESOME raffle! Lots and lots of really great prizes (take my word for it) from our club sponsors and other quality vendors and manufacturers.

Also, special guest speaker, Mark Vera, will give two talks on Refugia and Phytoplankton Culturing!

The best vendors in the area will be here to sell you quality frags, equipment, drygoods, invertebrates, and more!

Most importantly, and best of all, lots of hobbyists from all around will be here to buy, sell, and trade with you coral frags propagated in their own tanks! Sometimes even fish, equipment, and more will show up!

If you're in the area, it's well worth a drive. It's all about a lot of hobbyists and vendors getting together to support eachother... so you'll find great deals from great people. It is also, perhaps, the BEST enviornment to learn about the hobby. It's lot's of fun! You'll be sure to leave smiling and with a cooler full of frags

!

Be sure to bring your coral to trade!!!

Our club is registered on Fragswapper.com.... I'm not sure who is overseeing it's updates as it has not been updated since last year's swap... I'll get on that, thanks for the reminder Just Reef.

I've gone over to Huntington! Always loved that drive

. We'd be more than happy to have you... it's a lot of fun.

I'm hoping Marine Solutions (one of our sponsors) will be there again... they have been there every year thus far... they always bring lots of BEAUTIFUL clams and at GREAT prices.

I'd say it's definitely worth a drive. Lots of coral here.

By the way, Nano-Reef is the first website (other than cincyreef.com where info on the 2008 swap has been posted this year. Just thought I'd let you guys know that... !

Fragswapper has been updated for the swap!
Sign up and let us know if you're coming... http://www.fragswapper.com/organization.asp

Although it's not yet set in stone... it looks like Mark Vera should be our speaker this year. He will do a speech probably on refugia and hopefully a second speech as well... more updates to come though.

Start fragging

^Well, the swap is registered at www.fragswapper.com

There's also a thread over on Cincy Reef with what some people are bringing... http://www.cincyreef.com/forums/viewtopic....=46&t=12088

I've got some nice zoos, yumas, and other softies.

I'll be looking for monti caps, euphyllia sp., leathers, and live rock (

).

Also (wishfull thinking) hoping someone may have a decent 48" T5 fixture. You never know what people may bring!

I hope lots of you can make it!
