Are you looking for clean up crew stuff? I have not heard anything from Bob about him taking part this year... yet.

Emg2 · 01/16/2013, 11:13 AM

Hi Jon, looking for skunk cleaner shrimp and peppermints....possibly some nassarius snails....maybe some small "interest" fish to flit around the rocks in the 50.

Wish I had enough stuff to sell, sounds like this is going to be the best one yet !

fitch4 · 01/24/2013, 06:41 AM

It is official, there are now 30 "vendors" paid in and signed up for spots. It looks like I may actually run out of spaces this year... I may have to give up my front desk! If any of the local guys were hoping to set-up a tank this year, let me know soon so I have a space for you!
I also thought I would drop a bit more teaser info...
-Some new guy named Jason Foxx will be there with some of his SICK stuff.
-I got a nice small box from Apogee the other day, but it looks like it might be the gem of the raffle, just don't lose your tickets if you win...
-Sustainable Aquatics has opted not to support the FFM this year but I replaced them with someone better. Sorren from Sea and Reef will be donating some SWEET designer tank bred clown pairs.
More info to come in the next few weeks...
-Jon

You continue to shock and amaze my man. I'm working on getting you some raffle prizes so folks can decorate their fish rooms. I'll shoot you a PM or email whichever works best.

never! i feel bad for your past loss! superb, the amount of reefers is just amazing in itself.

fitch4 · 01/24/2013, 04:09 PM

BF-
Thanks for doing some digging on your end. I appreciate it. The FFM is a HUGE job every year and having all of you guys appreciate it and speak so well of it makes all the work worth it. Here is what I really need from you guys- SPREAD THE WORD. I post on boards and have been working to get the FFM postcards out but the FFM really survives on word of mouth. Tell EVERYONE you know about it, post it on other boards, put it on Facebook, send smoke signals, chat up strangers at your LFS whatever works. Feel free to let me know where you post it so I can watch it as well!
I am working on a few other suprises for this year's FFM which should be VERY popular!
Thanks!
Jon

I am sooo pumped for ffm and cannot wait for it. Definitely gonna be a great time

suicideissleep · 01/25/2013, 12:08 AM

Last year was my first year and I was amazed and this year looks bigger and better so excited can't wait

fitch4 · 01/25/2013, 02:21 PM

I just did a little work this morning and SeaChem was generous enough to offer to supply Reef Dip for the FFM this year. I am going to have small containers of it out for people to take home to make their own coral dips.
I figure if I am going to encourage the love that is FFM, the least I can do it offer you protection!
Thanks to SeaChem for helping out!

fitch4 · 01/29/2013, 08:45 AM

Hiller is coming down. I will "release" the list of people signed up in a week or two as it fills in. There are pretty much all the old favorites on there!

epstein · 01/29/2013, 11:38 AM

I texted you Jon....

fitch4 · 01/29/2013, 01:33 PM

You are like my Dad who sends me an email and then calls to tell me to check it....

The Saltwater Kid · 01/29/2013, 01:33 PM

This event is AWESOME!!! I highly encourage anybody who can make the trip to do so...you won't be disappointed!!! My wife and I have made it to every FFM so far and I'm psyched that we will again be able to make it this year and we are coming from Vermont (3-1/2 hour drive) if that tells anybody how great the Frag Farmers Market is

fitch4 · 01/29/2013, 01:45 PM

The Saltwater Kid · 01/29/2013, 03:18 PM
