"LEAR Frag Fest wouldn't be the big success it is every year without the use of Reef Trader. The ability to pre-purchase 1000's of corals and fish tank related gear at your finger tips before the show starts really brings in attendees. Highly recommend the site."

-Erik Kreeger - founder of LEAR

"Reef Trader is my go to before the swaps so I can save time and have things ready. It's a lot of work going into a swap not knowing if I'll make any money. Reef Trader almost guarantees some sales beforehand. That way you can have some fees paid for before you start. It also gives me a chance to meet other hobbyists that I can keep connections with throughout the year. It helps all of us. So happy it exists."

-Heather Christensen - hobbyist

"From allowing otherwise nameless hobbyists a chance to build friendships, to creating a place to forge a reputation for yourself (being a seller / buyer / trader), Reef Trader has been an integral part of this hobby for me. It truly is what jump started my involvement in attending various swaps/shows, and striving to gain as much knowledge as possible from fellow enthusiasts that share the same passion for all things saltwater."

-Conner Stumpf - hobbyist

"I have been using Reef Trader since I started in this hobby 5 years ago. I like that it gives me a platform to buy, sell and trade with other locals. I also like that it gives me another reason to go to local swaps to possibly grab some new and unique items that may not be available locally."
