North Central Pennsylvania Aquarium Reef Society and That Pet Place had their annual frag swap yesterday. Hundreds of reefers, dozens of fraggers, and nine speakers (including Tony Nista of UPG and Randy Reed of Reed Mariculture), showed up for the event.
Let's start with some eye candy from the swap right away.
Jason Fox's frags are hot right now. There are a lot of online frag stores nowadays that are selling "LE super radioactive insert made up trade name here" for boatloads of money, so I'm always skeptical of designer frags. I always say, "You can't photoshop in person." Well, Jason Fox doesn't have to; his frags might really be radioactive.

The rest of these photos are display tanks and live stock from That Fish Place/That Pet Place. They had a lot of nice freshwater fish, a pretty nice selection of saltwater fish (that room is expanding), an impressive reptile room, and probably the best selection of small animals/rodents I've seen.
