Winter Frag Swap 2011 Wrap-Up
Feb 4th
This past weekend we held our annual TFP/NCPARS Winter Frag Swap Extravaganza, and I would like to thank everyone who attended the show. Thank you to our participating manufacturers who donated time and products, which made the swap an overwhelming success.
This was our biggest frag event yet, with upwards of 400 people who registered for the NCPARS swap, and hundreds more who showed up to the store for the great sales that went on all weekend long. Mid day Saturday, you could barely move in the swap, we made a 2500 square foot space, feel like a broom closet. There was something for everyone, from the rare and incredible corals from Jason Fox, to the guy with easy starter frags in Tupperware containers.
Thanks to our great manufacturers, we had some very lucky folks walk away with some very nice door prizes and raffle items. From Reef Capable Marineland LED lights to Perfecto and Current USA tank set ups, and much, much more. If you missed this one, you really missed out on one heck of an event. We look forward to working with NCPARS again, and growing the show into a regional event.
Felicia McCaulley was here to take some phenomenal photos and a commentary on the event. Read more about this year’s swap here.

Aug 29th
We have combined two of our most popular events; our annual Customer Appreciation Sale, and our NCPARS/TFP frag swap into one weekend. We may be crazy, but that is the way we like it around here. The event weekend is October 2nd and 3rd, the frag swap will be held on saturday October 2nd from 11-5 here in the store, with the same setup as our two past winter frag events.
The Customer Appreciation event is free, and access to all the manufacturers and event sales are open to everyone. The Frag Swap is admission only, $5 dollars for NCPARS members, $10 for non members. All proceeds benefit NCPARS (North Central Pennsylvania Aquarium and Reef Society), a local non-profit aquarium club. There will be hundreds, if not thousands, of frags available inside the swap, and all TFP livestock will be 25% off the entire weekend. For more information and to pre-register for the event visit NCPARS, and check out some of the amazing frags available. You can pre-arrange trades, or browse at the event. pre-registration is not required, you can pay at the event if you just want to show up.
Come on out and join the fun, it is going to be huge!!!!!

May 12th
Dave here again, and I am thinking Spring! Join us this weekend, May 15th and 16th, at our Lancaster, Pa retail store for our annual Spring Pond Sale Event. Great deals, and a really nice selection of pond plants and fish will be on hand for the event.
When it comes to bargains on supplies, there are some really nice deals being offered: 40% off all OSI pond food; 20% off Seachem pond products; 20% off Tetra filters, pumps and lights. These and lots of other great products from some of our best manufacturers are on sale. And during your visit, don’t forget to check out the newest line - Pure Aquatic Pond Foods.
What I am really excited about for this pond season, is the great selection of Pond Fish and Koi that we have to offer this year. For the first time, we are offering a new color of comet, the Apricot Comet. These guys are not your typical red comet, they are creamy orange like an apricot, and their unique scale size makes them look smooth like one, too! Some really neat new fish to add to your mix. Some of them even have translucent gill covers - the bright red of the gills underneath makes them look like they are blushing.
We also have a great selection of Koi here in the store. We have nice Domestic Koi, in both standard and butterfly fin forms, in a range of colors and sizes. For the more discerning pond keeper, we once again have a selection of Koi imported from Japan. This year’s fish are primarily from Sakai of Hiroshima and Yoshida Fish Farms. We have both standard fin and longfin Japanes Koi, color varieties include; Sanke, Showa, Utsuri, Ogon, Kujaku, Asagi/Shusui. Kumonryu, and many more.
All of our pond fish and plants will be 25% off all weekend, it is a great time to stock a new pond, or look for that special fish to add to your collection.
Until next blog,
Dave

Feb 3rd
For those of you who weren’t able to attend this year’s TFP/NCPARS Winter Frag Event, you missed a great time! Over a 6 hour period on that frigid Saturday (Jan. 30), our retail store was what can only be described as a reef geek’s dream. What spends most of the year as our pond fish and plant display room, became a sea of people, tables, and tanks. The event had over 400 attendees in the swap area, thousands of coral frags of all kinds, great deals from our manufacturers, and a whole lot of smiles. A big thanks and congratulations to everyone at NCPARS and the TFP staff who was involved organizing and working the event, even though it got a little crazy for a while, things went smoothly and we all had a great time.
