SOme of the Michigan reefers may try to make it down. We are having our Swap the next day on the 28th.I think it would be cool to get a swap going in Toledo for next year that way people from Central to lower Michigan and from Central to Norther Ohio Could come. That could be a Mega swap!!

We were actually wanting to get one in Toledo, we need someone to commit to it. The MI swap being the day after blows me away. whets the odds of that? It would be cool to get a multi state frag swap organized.....

I would definitely be into that. We have been trying to do the swap about every six months. how often are yours? I know too close together and they tend to fizzle out. I like the "mega swap" idea there, lots of new frags from far away tanks we need to estimate how many would be attending and find a location.

I say we make it so us folks in KY can come too! Sounds like a blast for sure!

Nice to see you geo, hope all is well.

Alright!! I will start advertising it so to speak on my end. I can see this being a super event!! I wanted to do a super swap this spring anyway!! Multi-State swap is even better. I think we can count on most of the Michigan Reefers Forum Members to come. You can always reach me there (AKA NEO) and we can get it going and have Vito post on our site as soon as it is fixed.

So Lets do maybe the first weekend in May. This will be great!!

Our site just came back on line last night geo. I have posted a thread to the members aboout this mega swap. Do we need to think about a small hall at a community center there or something? Maybe at the college? LEt me know what you are thinking. I do think it is a great way to diversify pur tanks. I am thinking people from as far north as Lansing will be attending this next year. We have all winter to plan so it should prove to be a great event.

Small hall, community center or something. I think there are a number of churches that would be willing to have us, those are normally free with a donation to the church. the zoo may be a possibility as well.

I will stat some research then on this end. DO we have any reefers that live in ZToledo that are members that could make suggestions?
