Be super if there was one near me. I can go to St. Louis. Des Moines. Or Quad City! Let’s get one started. My tank isn’t mature enough but I’d be stoked to bring some to the one next year.
There was a frag show in the Quad Cities last weekend, there will be one in Cedar Rapids and Des Moines in April.

I know this one is a few times a year, is it any good or just a bunch of chop shops selling what they can't hawk via the local Facebook groups?

May take off a Saturday for whenever the next one is, if it's any good.
I do enjoy them. Prices are decent and I am always coming home with something I don’t need. I like meeting up with others in the community. There was a big showing this last weekend with at least a few hundred folks. Pre sales on the ticket is only $8 so it is cheap. µ

This one will be in Birmingham, AL anyone near should show up. We need more people to show up to get more vendors to keep coming and more shows or swaps to happen.

More of a show less of a swap but thought it would fit the bill here.

How would I get info on these swaps coming up? I’m all for a small road trip.
You can make the 3hr drive to Birmingham in 2 and half weeks. Not sure exactly where everyone finds out about swaps. I'm assuming in their local reefing groups. Facebook is probably good. I don't do Facebook though.

Same. I have no Facebook presence. Wife feeds me pertinent information tho from her account.
There should be a Tennessee group somewhere. I think there's a middle Tennessee group not sure about your side of the state. Theres a North Alabama group that has some Tennessee people in it as well. Theres groups on here you can find for sure. Our Birmingham group isn't very active but it is still a group.

Pittsburgh Reef Aquarium Expo coming up April 13th. Lots of great vendors, a large raffle with some great items, and an awesome wild world of animals show during the event. If you have a reef tank it’s worth the drive. Will never see more corals in person in one place.
