Reef meet and a frag swap is always a fun place to be and meet new friends.
Someone's house gonna be full for a day and dirty for couple days to come..lol.

We know everyone has already a reef setup and what's a good raffle give away that everyone could use.

As we already know 100% of the attendee have their reef setup either trying to fill their tanks or add new special corals or just to have a fun meet.

I would imagine a small amount of people will be thinking of tank upgrade. Maybe know of a friend that is looking to get salty hands.

We could only offer product we believe in and distribute, without further due and as some tell me that I over talk..lol.

We already have top quality Aqua-Carbon 2.0 on the way for 12 raffles tickets.Good for those with already running setup.($23/ 1L containers treating 500 gallons) More information on the webpage.

We believe everyone should win something so for the rest and the ones needing the Aqua-Carbon 2.0 could purchase off the webpage for a discounted cost of $17/container or multiples for $15/container.This special will run only for a week with special code "carbon2"

Its not over yet.
If you are upgrading or know of someone looking to aquascape, well you will receive an added 5% total special prices on the rock we have on the webpage.
Yes we all hate buying rock that we don't see or know what we are getting but as most of you know we do free aquascape with videos so you know exactly what you will be receiving.

We hope everyone get what they want and have fun.
Cheers

Thanks Eli and all the donors of door prizes. Really adds to the event and makes those on the fence about coming more willing to make the effort to show up.

Cough cough I know but I just enrolled in a leadership program and it seems to me that may not be what my company is looking for. I will literally beg to leave early though. Sadly groveling seems more professional.

WarDog 05-27-2016 07:14 PM

Jeff from J&L Aquatics just announced the grand prize ;

1 X ReefCrest 1.1ml Dosing Pump

1 X Apollo 9 Digital Timer

SeaHorse_Fanatic 05-28-2016 09:53 PM

Sadly it looks like family duties & tutoring work with a new student is going to mess up my plans to come to today's swapmeet. Hope everyone has a great time. Take pics for us to drool over.

So this was really an amazing event! I'd like to thank all of those who came out to talk with other hobbyists and to buy frags! A big shout out to Rich and Linda for allowing us to take over their home for the day. Nice to see Raf, Jon and Wayne come over from Victoria and join us! Dave did a great job on the grill... even though we ran out of buns, lol. Last but not least, to all the sponsors who donated to our little meet and made this a super fun affair!

Lots of pics still to come.

Firstly, our gracious hosts tank. Of course my phones camera does no justice.
