FYI: As you may know, Something Fishy is right around the corner from the swap, and they are sponsoring our swap speaker. Todd (the owner) has let me know that they are willing to take requests and try to order in items for you to get at the store that day. If you are interested, please go to the website (toofishy.com) and drop him a note under "contact us." Also, the title of Anthony Calfo's talk is "A Call to Farms! A path for hobbyists towards zero reef impact" This lecture will embrace a wide range of topics including grass-roots hobbyist conservation options, small and larger scale propagation for profit and charity, and an overall focus on things reefkeepers can do to realize a self-sustaining hobby. There's plenty of frags posted at fragswapper.com. Hope to see you up north in Allentown!
