Just got the official word that John from Affordable Aquatics is going to do a special for the Frag Farmer's Market. Order with the code below and get 10% off the order and your order can be picked up at the FFM for FREE SHIPPING as well! I know he has just gotten into frozen foods which he has offered to bring out as well.
Thanks to John for offering this to people who will be coming out!
 
I went last year and had a great time. I also won some pretty good items in the raffle. They have tons of corals to choose from. I think I will make it there again this year.

Glad to hear it. I have expanded out into 10 rooms (only 7 last year) and have 54 people selling, no counting the "dry goods" people who will be in the hallway. I have quite a few nice things in the raffle already with new stuff coming in almost everyday. It should be even better this year!

I just got another update on another sale that John from Affordable Aquatics will be running for the FFM. Here is the info he gave me:


We are going to offer a 20% discount on all frozen or live foods pre-ordered.

Use coupon code "FFMFrozen" at checkout for this offer.
I will be selling a large variety of frozen and live fish foods at the FFM. Due to freezer space limitations on site, we strongly suggest that you pre-order your food now so that you are guaranteed its availability at the show. In fact if you pre-order your food, your order will be packaged individually, on ice, in coolers or thermal bags to make it easy to take home.
We will have the best frozen products from:
Rod's food
Hikari
Piscine Energetics
Pro Salt
Ocean Nutrition
San Francisco Bay Brand
We also have the entire line of Reef Nutrition fresh and live foods including LIVE Tigger Pods, Live Phyto, and Oyster Eggs etc.
Because of their fragile handling requirements, it is strongly suggested that you pre-order these items as well.
This offer is available only those attending the Frag Farmer's Market. Please order early to guarantee your order's availability.

Anyone from here going for sure? Still trying to convince myself to make the trip

Its a drive but it is the largest assembly of corals you will see at any show I have been to. 54 coral sellers and another 10 or so dry goods tables to go with that. I can say that the people who come out once, put the date on their calendar for the following year.
I also just added an APEX Jr. to the raffle!

Guys I highly recommend driving up next year to this. It's a hike but well worth it. The selection is absolutely insane. I'm not sure if you can find anything close to this short of macna. I'll be heading back next year.

Glad you enjoyed yourself! We were talking about which event has more corals and I think Frag Farmer's has more coral, but not much else. MACNA has a lot more than just coral, but I think in terms of just coral frags for sale, there are more at the FFM. See you next year March 7th 2015!
