  2. LFS: Coral Connection, Kenner, Louisiana

    Before attending Fragniappe, I had the opportunity to visit this fish store. Coral Connection is a two-story business with a history. Years ago, it was a place to hang out, where you enjoyed a daiquiri and talked about the hobby.

  4. Help find a thief ($1000 reward)

    If you've been in this hobby for a while, you've probably heard of or run into Dirk. He brings a truckload of equipment to reef-related events throughout the year. Recently, he was robbed - they took his entire truck and all of his inventory in the process. He's looking for any tips from the saltwater community. If you've run into anyone that seems to have a truckload of drygoods for sale, it may be stolen. This is Dirk.
