The Frag Swap was AWESOME!!! We really need to start something like this in Ontario.
The event was very well organized. There were approx 60 vendors. 95% were selling frags and a few guys selling LED lights, food and misc equipment. I didn't attend any of the guest speakers presentations but a lot of guys were heading that way when I left. Next time I will defiantly allow myself more time so I can check it out. I'm waiting to hear how many hobbyist came out. There had to be at least 700-1000 people.
The only down side I found was that some vendors were only running Royal Blue LEDs on their little frag table set ups. The colours looked phenomenal but not true to how most of us view our tanks. This made it really difficult to judge how a coral will look in "real" lighting. It also made it virtually impossible to ID most of the SPS that these guys were selling.
I took a bunch of pics. Here they are...
