FragFest

[RobTop]

After day one, all I can say is if you were not here, its not too late!
Some of the greatest high end frags in one place. Vendors bought thier best! As well as plenty of affordable frags. weather you are looking for a $5 palm size chunck of GSP, a $100 4-6" ultra Maxima Clam, or spending $300 on LE frags this is the place to be! Need some gear Dirk has brough more than the average LFS has in stock. Want information, today there is plenty. we filled the schedule with some great topics, build a ball has a little room left and expert panles on breeding and fragging. Bring the kids to trick or treat and the P's get some treats as well

Just came back and I am not impressed as the prices were as high as in the LFS and not much to choose from ( maybe yesterday was the day, but today not much there, unless you are looking to spend top $ for the frags). just my 2c.

Had a blast! Lots of cool stuff, freebies & bought way more frags than I intended (which was NO frags). Got everything on my list of dry goods for cheap, cheap, cheap! Speakers have convinced me to start giving lectures on puffers, so keep an eye out.

We were there at 9am yesterday and everyone's frag tanks were stocked full. Great selection, great prices and well worth the trip. Got a beautiful mixed acan frag from Dr Mac's and an amazing frag of Strawberry Shortcake from Uberfrags.

saturday was the day to go if you wanted your pick. the prices were not too bad. not gouging. These sellers can't sell corals for a loss, LFS charge way more. i got acans @15-35, Got a dendro for $20 but suliaman007 had them for $15 a head, that's half price of what they were going at the Cmas swap last year. on top of the coral i saw Melev and Randy Reed giving free advice. Also Bill had all kinds of DIY LED for sale there. It was pretty cool, until i ran out of money

I liked it even better than the cmas swap! Lots of room to move about and great sellers (Dr Mac was my fav). Wish i had more money to spend, as far as prices go i saw pearlberry for $20! I just paid $80 for mine from dfs and these pieces were a little bigger.

I had an awesome time! I thought prices were really reasonable today. Rob did an awesome job putting this together...as usual! Good to see everyone again!

Darn, I missed it this year. I'm down in SoFL doing the "daddy" thing at her house. Been checking out the LFS here. May or may not bring something back. I just hate dealing with TSA. LOL

I left the house here at 7:30 Saturday morning so I would be there right before open. I got in at 8:55 and I was the ONLY one there. I made a quick circuit then proceeded to fill up the cooler I brought. I bought 20+ of the choicest frags I've seen in a while. One especially from reefkoi that was unique.... I've never seen it before. He said he only brought one and had only sold 4 off the colony. It's wild.. Bright orange with fourescent gold stripes. Prices I thought were very fair. Corbins was downright cheap.

I stayed exactly for an hour then fled with my stash . All in all I was very pleased.

It was a great show with great deals. Saturday morning was the time to go. Did anybody else see the incredible clams Dr MAC had. They were probably the nicest I've ever seen. !

 

[skunkmere]

where is dr MAC from? his clams were amazing for the price. im kicking myself for not getting one of the acan frags with 3-4 different acans on a plug for $40.

 

[mystery_reef]

maryland their prices were great compared to their website.

I think that is a great idea. It time to learn about more than clown fish. The addition of how to breed file fish really made me think about the possibilities.
File Fish are definitely not for beginners as was emphasized but I don't plan on being a beginner for ever and captive breed for all breeds is where we need to head. I hope you do share your knowledge. It was nice seeing you at the show today.

I agree great color and you just don't see clams that big and healthy for that price.

The yellow spiral coral was neat, too.
