Since we travel all over the country attending and covering numerous large marine aquarium events, once in a while its nice to stay home and see what the local reef club can do. The Fragstock coral vendor market took place yesterday, Saturday 10/10 at the Denver Downtown Aquarium and despite some inclement weather, at least 200 attendees braved the snow and ice to scoop up some of the finest farmed and captive raised corals in the front range of the Rocky Mountains. In addition to all the fine corals for sale, we got some face time with several manufacturers who are stalwart supporters of the wider marine aquarium community across the US including Reef Nutrition, Digital Aquatics, Boston Aqua Farms and Reeflo. Follow the break for a pictorial walk through of this fine mile high coral market.
