NY/NJ: Manhattan Reefs Spring Frag Swap - April 15th
- Thread starter joshsaul
- Start date
WOW. What a day. 20 hours later and we're finally settling in after driving, decompressing, and putting the frags to bed. All the hard work that goes into making a day like today happen is nothing short of exhausting.
We had a really great time. We got there around 10:30, setup a frag tank and began selling what felt like immediately. That didn't stop all day long. We had a couple of refreshing lulls around the time that speakers were speaking, and were thankful for them! And we were worried about the rain keeping the crowd away. HA! If it kept crowds away then I'm happy, because we had all we could do to keep up as it was.
Today was made entirely possible with the donations from MikeM, Stan Muncha, BluesTravelr, BillyR, and Ed (if I've forgotten to mention you, please PM me!). ILC donated a 100$ GC that we raffled off. Thanks, ILC! Congrats to Mateo who won the cert. Enjoy spending it!
Billy, John and I started at 530 bagging frags for the day (after hitting the hay well after midnight with preparations). Rich left home shortly thereafter to meet us up in South Plainfield. So some of us have had a really long day to say the least!
The NJRC Vendor table was staffed by PMac90, BillyR, Ed, ReefDrumz, JohnS_323, RichT and me. We needed every one of us more often than not! The club can't thank you guys enough for being there and neither can I.
We learned a lot, sold a lot and had a great time. We met each of the vendors that came to the frag swap and hope to have many of them join us for our October swap.
Thanks everyone! Pictures to follow.

I'll echo what Carlo and Mike have posted. Thank you very much.
Any idea when our frag swap will be in Oct? I probably won't have any frags to donate yet (tank will still be to new), but I will definatly plan time to be there to help out.

The dedication of the officers and club members astound me at times. Thanks to everyone that made today possible! Today was a great day for the club. Moments like this make me proud to be part of NJRC.
Here are some pictures of the day.

Sanjay stopped by to say hi
Some of what seemed like hundreds of donations for the auction
Some of the tanks @ The Pratt Institute, unfortunately I couldn't get many shots of the tanks, it was crowded up there!

Hey all,
I wanted to thank all the New Jersey Reefers who turned out in the miserable weather today and
helped make the frag swap a success. you guys rocked it ;D
I'm afraid I can not remember all the names of those I met today, swaps tend to be like that :-[
I hope you all made it home safe tonight and had as much fun as we did.
I look forward to seeing you all again in the future
Great pics also.
