If you're not there I just don't get it. This is THE SHOW in all of the tri-state area if not NY/PA area hands down.

fitch4 · 01/08/2017, 06:59 PM

I appreciate the good word. Now I need all my CT brothers and sisters to go out and spread the word. I am deep into making it the best Frag Farmer's yet for sellers and raffle. I need you guys to go out and make sure we break 1000 people again!

Nice Pauly! Sounds like you'll have a sick booth!

Been arguing over on another thread about the relative merits of LED versus MH (I know, shocker ....). Anyhoo, I've been redoing my fish room and have set my frag tank up with one side my preferred LED and the other 14K MH. Now I just need frags .... and I need ones that are difficult to grow because apparently the ones I have grown under LED aren't ... how convenient

.

I need things like pearlberry, ice fire, purple monster, blah blah. So, the important and relevant question is will folks have these kinds of things at FFM? Pauly, anything like this in your '500 frags of hotness'?

I bought those exact pieces last year. So yes lots of people will have the pieces you need. Jason Fox brought his infamous home wrecker if your pockets are deep enough. Maybe this year the price has come down

I will have all but the purple monster( see Joe RTMa) I'm looking for that also..
I have a bunch of RR, jfox, Ora, RMF. No home wrecker for me yet lol 1500 a little steep. Maybe if I get drunk enough though... No promises! Lol
Unfortunately I'm an acroholic! Over 200 different species

fitch4 · 01/11/2017, 06:47 AM

You will find EVERYTHING at the FFM. Looks like we will fill out at over 60 vendors this year, from Jason Fox to the hobbyist that you have never heard of, all with 100's of corals. It is overwhelming how many corals are there. My suggestion, save your pennies and make sure are prepared to buy a bunch of things that you didn't even know you wanted!

Is this open to the general public? I am thinking of driving from PA the day of. I didn't know if this is a club event or not.

It's open to everyone.

fitch4 · 01/11/2017, 10:36 PM

Open to anyone who would like to come out. We would love to have you come up for the day. I do have a deal with the Best Western in Mansifeld, CT if you decide to stay the night before. Just tell them you are with the Frag Farmer's Market and you should get the group rate.

TheWorldOfLC · 01/11/2017, 10:58 PM

Awesome! Thanks for the heads up!
