Talking

Midwest Coral Trading


I have moved out of hiding the RMAC forum and decided to post this in the TCMAS forum in the hope that I can get more feedback.

I have already started a discussion in the RMAC forum on this.


I am interested in facilitating more regional frag trading. After a bit of thought and some effort I came up with the following website. It is just a little more than a framework at this point, nowhere near complete.

Can you please take a look at the website and give me your honest opinion? Is it a good idea? Does it make sense? Am I crazy?

If I go forward with this I would convert it to a (real) web page and host it on the Internet.

Midwest Coral Trading

Thank you for your time and effort,

Michael,
good idea one problem I see with not having thre site database driven is it will become ALOT of work once more people start using it.

JnS, you bring up a very good point. Do you have any suggestions. Of course I am looking for free.

FYI: I have added a few names, some details, and done a few simple teaks to the page. Midwest Coral Trading

Skipponator, I am willing to expand north. Any other coral traders you are aware of up there? Active clubs? Suggested metro areas to add to the Midwest Coral Trading page?

Well I just started a local forum last weekend, I need to find the people. There is a member here that lives in Thief River Falls that I've done a couple trades with. Pretty small beans in the boonies

I believe that Midwest Coral Trading will be more useful to remote reef keepers or ones from small coral trading pools. Small beans in the boonies is where I expect the most interest.

What forum are you talking about?
