My first swap! a few questions...

[steve614]

Hey,
I am getting excited for my first swap.I just finished cycling a new tank and cant wait to get some nice frags.I am wondering about a few things...
What do I bring to keep the corals Ive bought in? a cooler?If I stay the whole swap will they be OK?IF a cooler is OK do you keep it in your car or lug it around the whole day ? :lol: Is there parking on the street or do I find a lot?

As you can see I could use a little advise from you swap veterans :iamwithst
Thanks,
Steve

a cooler will work fine, if it is gonna be cold that day maybe a few heat packs, extra bags never hurt, i always seem to end up with one bag leaking, oh and the two most important thing's, cash and a happy attitude lol

Cash and a Happy attitude - Perfect!

A cooler will work fine, but a cooler bag is easier to lug around. Many vendors will also hold stuff for you if you pay first and ask them nicely. Parking is either street parking-- not so easy or a pay lot-- there are 2 right near the venue. As long as you can keep the frags reasonably warm, they will be fine for many hours.


Oh, and the cash and a happy attitude is really good advice as well.

I never used coral dip. Should it be used for all the new frags I
