I have been in the hobby much longer than that and I learned quite a bit from the first speaker. I didn't realize that there could be more than one symbiont on the same corals and that they differ according to the environment. I was very interested. I would have liked to hear the next speaker but I had to leave. If you want to learn about reefing, ask questions on this forum.
Oh wait, did I say Kathy? I meant Cristy, yeah, it was CristyC, she is one of the Cristy sisters. That's who it was, not KathyC who I have always known to be a Sweetheart as I met her quite a few years ago. That nasty Cristy. I am not speaking to her.

Had a great time, and want to thank the many members that came over to say 'hi'... I always look forward to swap days with my 'MR reef friends'!:hug:
Had fun, won a raffle, bought a crap load of corals that don't fit in my tank (for sale thread soon), reconnected with some old faces and met some new ones. All in all I had a ball. Good day! I just love me some KathyC

I got there late, but it was nice to see all these faces, some familiar some I saw for the first time... I won a couple of things on the raffle. Really nice event.
Thank you to all of the members who were there and made it such a fun event. I hope all of you enjoy the great prizes we had in the raffle, I wish you could have all won something. A HUGE thank you to all of the vendors & manufacturers who were so generous with their donations!
Special thanks to everyone who helped to during set-up & especially those who stayed to break down the room at the end of the swap.
A HUGE thank you to the crew who helped with the Raffle - you all ROCKED! :grouphug:
..and yes Paul, that CristyC has some sharp tongue on her when she gets upset! lol Nice tie btw

Thank you, you really went above and beyond for both setup and almost the entirety of cleanup (that is huge, it gets really trying as people leave and less people help). You are a rock-star. :thrash:

The swap was great! I learned so stuff and the freebies were great. Won a pendant par 72! I would say that the fragging demos were not really much more that a free for all. I would like to see MR clean that up a bit in the next event. Much like the speakers the fragging demos should be more controlled so that there is a learning aspect. A suggestion would be multi demos of several different classes of corals in a room like the speakers had where everyone is seated and not clamoring for the freebie (yes I was one of those. I wont lie). I would even pay to see a good fragging demo with a camera and projector so that a room seated everyone could see what is going on, ask questions, etc. Sign up for the coral type frag demo you are interested in, pay a small fee to MR (say 10 bucks), show the good bad and the ugly (good methods and poor method that lead to failure) , at the end those that attend paid get a great frag!
A frag tool vendor could also sell tools discounted.
Win for MR, member, and vendor!

Your advance payment for admission does the following:
- Allows you to enter much faster
- Allows us to make a name tag for you
- Allows us to figure out how much food and labor we need to plan for
- Allows us to properly obtain insurance for this event
So your advanced RSVP really does a lot to make the event go smoothly, and for that you have my eternal gratitude.
I'm sorry you didn't get much out of the day. If you tell us what you did when you were there maybe we can help guide you for next time? If you didn't learn anything and didn't have a good time then we didn't do our job. If you come to the next swap we'll definitely make it up to you.

Just got home and put all of my awesome frags in the tank. We come down from Boston every year for this event, and we always have a great time. We got some great frags from MR members and from the vendors. I can honestly say that I've never seen such amazing frags from the vendors as I did today. The speakers were great. The lunch was so much better than in previous years - well organized and not a "free for all". We had a great time and can't wait for next year!! Thank you Manhattan Reefers!

+1 I also didn't get any but it was late. I learned NOT to bring my wife and kids to the swap! I got there around 2 and was gone by 3 because the family was bored

If I would have brought my wife, I would have gotten there by 2 and would have left by 2:15 as she would also have been bored. She only likes to see fish on her plate.
