Hello everyone! We have been approached by the Iowa Aquaria club to join them at their upcoming swap meet on the 30th. Click this link for a full flyer on the event. They have graciously extended IAA member pricing to all GIRS members. This includes everything; entrance fee, table fee and raffle. Now to be clear, this is a freshwater aquaria club event, but most/many of us have our roots in freshwater stuff and some still have freshwater tanks. Also, a couple of the GIRS Board members will be there handing out info on our club and answering questions about saltwater fish and corals. Please contact me with any questions about this event. Also, if you're interested in selling or would like to help out, contact me for that too. We will be creating a photo book for the GIRS table that will include pictures of some of the incredible tanks owned by our members. If you would like to have your tank or corals featured in that photo book, let me know. Here's the details for the event:

If you have been thinking of selling at the Frag Fest there are now more reasons then ever to register.
Fall Fest seller set up on Friday night.
To accomodate those that have a long drive we will be setting up for the Fall Fest on Friday night. This will allow you to set up your sales tank the night before. This will allow your corals to settle in & look their best in the morning for some great sales.
You will have to provide your tank, heater, light, & power head. We will provide premixed saltwater donated by Carib Sea.
The room will be locked during the night to ensure the safety or your possesions, however GIRS can assume no resposibility for any losses you may have.
Reduced admission prices.
You can register early & pay only $30. This will include admission to all speakers & you will receive 5 free raffle tickets, if you are a member of GIRS you will receive an additional 5 tickets for a total of 10 free raffle tickets.
