NEXT FRAG SWAP!! my house.. Langley - May 10

[acepumping]

Ok guys. I have been tellin people somewhat that i wanna have the next swap at my house.
I have talked to dave at bigshow and he has agreed to donate a few frags for prize draws. I will have a 4x7 frag table that is going to be my frag tank.. it wont be for a couple months. But might as well start planning earlier..

please let me know if you guys are interested
thanks

[Ryanerickson]

Sounds like fun I am in I was going to offer to do it at my house also but Dave's it is look forward to it!

[Reef Pilot]

Sounds good. I am in Langley, so will try to attend,... as long as I am not away.

[strider]

Looking forward to it. :)
Thanks Dave for the frags

Count me in.

I'm not sure the frag tank is such a good idea, unless its for the frag you're selling. The corals never opened in the frag at the last swap, and it increases the chance that it becomes a "pest swap".

Alternatively I suppose you could allow sellers to drop off there frags the day before, if you want to go that route.

You could just encourage sellers to bring a picture of their corals... a prize for the best picture?

Will this be a gear swap as well?

[The Guy]

:whoo:sounds good, look forward to it.

[michaelis88]

nice I want to join

Fair enough, if people are worried about that at least there would be tons of real estate for floating bags. Better then frags buried in a cold cooler with no light, pretty tough to view like this.

[hillegom]

Interested to attend
:biggrin:

[KPG007]

Sounds good. I'm in.

[Tom R]

Just tell us when and where

Tom R

[acepumping]

Lol. No worries for floating bags.. i have a open 180 gal sump( 6x30"x18"tall)
No shortage of space.. i will have a bbq out front, cooler for beers or whatever you wanna put in plus more. .. its a complex. Ive alrdy told neighbours.. so everything will be a go.. lots of room.. i dont have a date yet.. i will post some pictures too online of the tank..

[Canuckgod420]

I'm in, when are you planning on doing this?
I need to make some frags.

[acepumping]

Well so far not til may sometime..

[Reef Pilot]

Just please don't do it on the long weekend...

[acepumping]

Lmao. Of course not..

[spit.fire]

Maybe I'll have my tank running by then

[duncangweller]

I'm in for sure. I'm a fellow Langley reefer

Will have to plan our carpool from Burnaby & this area to go out there for this.

[milou]

the farthest place I've been to get corals is Reef Pilot's place. You need to take a train to get there...lol

[Reef Pilot]

the farthest place I've been to get corals is Reef Pilot's place. You need to take a train to get there...lol
What??!....LOL. Did you take the scenic route through central Surrey and downtown Langley? Fastest way is take the 232 St exit off the freeway...

As a reference, takes me 35 min to get to J&L. Or if I take the new South Fraser Perimeter hwy and Pattullo bridge, just 5 min more (not recommended during rush hour, though).

[crimper]

It was a pleasure to meet Walter over the weekend and got some great sps frags. The travel was not bad at all.

I will probably schedule our monthly trip/grocery shopping to Bellingham and drop by at the swap meet. Hope to see you guys out there. :smile:

[straightrazorguy]

Great idea! I'd like to come too....

[brittanyk]

I'll be there :)

I'm there two but if we could put another month or two in between them I think every one would have more then

Be cool if we could brinh some food two

[Cujo#31]

May some fish too? I'm setting up a FOWLR cuz there are some beauty "non reef friendly" fish I would love to have in a display along with a reef set up

[Ryanerickson]

Burnaby to Langley 30 minutes. short drive if you take the correct route

[acepumping]

Actually its 15 minutes from my house to ikea
on border of surrey and langley.. 20187 68th ave langley..
scott. I am going to ask aquattro to do a poll for me to see when we should have the next frag swap.. i will get the top 2 or 3. And pick them according to my schedule lol..
im 10minutes closer to vancouver side then walters house ;)

anyways.. we will figure it.out.. if people want to bring their fish.. i dont mind but it cant enter my frag tank lol.. if someone is willing to help me setup this and also setup a tank for fish. I have no problem with that..

Milou.. its about 35min from your house if i remember when i was out there, hope you can make it. I will be ordering in flower anems from bigshow this next week and will have a couple there..
talk soon guys
Feel free to txt me 604 785 0357
dave

[Reef Pilot]

im 10minutes closer to vancouver side then walters house ;)

Yeah, if you go the scenic route...

I might be 10 min from your house, but only 5 min from the freeway...

But hey, what's 5 or 10 min. It's the guys in Richmond that should be complaining... They are 45+ min from everywhere... LOL.

Yeah, Langley is actually pretty central.... 20 min to abby, 45 to the wack, and 45 to vancouver or richmond.

[2bafish]

You know I'm in man. We fellow reefers need to meet up more. You need any help setting up let me know. I'm close by.

What's the big deal, it is what it is! people from the Wack, Abby and Langley travel to Burnaby/ Vancouver to frag swaps and I don't remember anybody saying how far it was to travel. :violin:

[SeaHorse_Fanatic]

Well, I'm going to carpool cause I know Scott doesn't drive and I doubt his parents would be cool about going that far just for a frag swap. Maybe on a good day they'd agree. When I head to Langley/Aldergrove, I always try to combine my errands so I'll stop at Oceanic, visit my favourite plant nurseries and go across the border to get cheap gas and fill up my jerry cans as well.

Anthony

[acepumping]

I just figured that last ones were burnaby and richmond. Now its the valley boys and gals turn

[acepumping]

For those who want to come, please list some suggested dates and no long weekends please lol

[CMarty01]

The frags look much better in person. Those photos aren't doing justice.

[acepumping]

Is anybody interested in bringing their corals a night earlier? If so, they will have to be dipped before they go in my big table. Otherwise they will go in another tank that's there.
is anybody looking for specific things. Let the train begin

p's. I Will post some pics of the 3 chalices for prizes from bigshow soon to follow

I realize there is alot.of people that don't know what the fragswap is.. They never check this section out, I wonder If there's a way to advertise to the people who cruise the reef section and others..

[canadawest]

I don't know if you attended the last frag swap, but if the attendance then is any indication of the expected attendance to yours, I'm pretty sure you have no need to worry about exposure... :lol:

I'd be worried about accommodating the ones you're already likely to have!

PS... I'm still bummed that I'm going to be overseas during this next one and will have to miss it. :cry:

[acepumping]

I'm able to accommodate and yea I was there. Was a good time for sure..
more the married here. I will have over 250 frags my self between acans and zoas.
so more then enough lol

[mohammadali]

anyways 12 noon is start time.. bring mothers and buy a coral for them lol..

[acepumping]

Tanks found. There will be 2 33 gal with racks.
Thanks kelly

[SeaHorse_Fanatic]

Yup, got Mother's Day dinner at 6pm in Vancouver so gotta get back in time.

[KPG007]

Technically mothers day is Sunday. The frag swap in on Saturday, so there shouldn't be too much of a conflict.

[Nicole.]

Should we have name tags too? That was a good idea last time.

If anyone would like apple juice there i can bring it.

[Mega]

Oh Kelly, not when you have 3 mothers to take care. It's like the mothers go on strike for the weekends! And they are expecting you to take them out individually. Trust me... Avoid mixing the in-laws. :lol:

[SeaHorse_Fanatic]

Saturday night is my Mom's dinner.

Sunday night is my Mother-in-law's dinner.

It's mothers day everyday! Frag Swap day only happens twice in 4 years! Get you're priorities straight! :mrgreen:

I'm lucky, I can mix my mothers with little or no negative side effects. We are having a big BBQ on Sunday.

[KPG007]

If anyone would like apple juice there i can bring it.

Mmmm...Apple Juice... Can you mix Vodka with that? No, OJ is better. Name tags will definitely be mandatory if I start doing that.

Mother's Day luncheon may be happening on Saturday for my mother-in-law. I'm going to try to get them to do it on Sunday but two of my sister-in-laws are working Sunday so may not be able to make this meet after all.

For those hoping to carpool there, if I can't make it Eileen from the VAHC is going out there and you all can probably catch a ride with her.

Will give update if I can make it after all.

[neoh]

I'll be festively late. Hopefully there are frags left!

[scorpionking]

Hi everyone, I'm also interested in $5 pp frags of zoas/palys with 1-2 polyps each so I can grab a whole variety. I know it's a favor to ask splitting bunches, but it would really help me kick start my reef!

Hint hint :wink: @jjntm, @Ryanerickson

Will be picking up a lot of $5-$10 frags that's for sure :biggrin:

[The Guy]

I'll have frag rack egg crate with me if anyone needs some cheap, also I'm rescaping and removing some larger LR pieces with some corals attached. Not bringing any to the frag swap. Will have pictures available if anyone is interested.

Wasn't sure if I was going to be able to make to the frag swap. Was supposed to head out to a remote lake for some fishing with a flying buddy on Sat. But the weather is not looking good for that, so at this time, looks like I will be attending the frag swap.

Here are some frags that I could bring, if there was any interest. Please let me know.

A few good sized orange digi frags, $20 each.

[Reef Pilot]

thanks to BIGSHOW for the beautiful chalices and hope you all enjoy your prizes..


I think it was great to have Bigshow contribute some door prizes. But am actually surprised that more vendors and esp the local LFS's didn't participate. With all the people that came by, could not ask for more direct advertising. And if they supplied a banner or sign, would really hit the mark. Plus it is events like this that really whet people's appetite for reefing, and help keep the hobby growing. If I was an LFS, would have been there handing out %off coupons or something as part of my sponsorship of the event.

Anybody do a headcount of attendees? I know a lot of people came by, and at times, could barely move in there and get close to a tank... Especially that spectacular coral display tank set-up of Dave's.

[Ryanerickson]

Thanks Dave for doing this had a great time see everyone at the next one

[SeaHorse_Fanatic]

Well sorry I missed this one. But family obligations involving the Moms sometimes have to take priority:wink::razz:

Looks like everyone had a great time and that's what it really is all about.

Thanks Laurie for picking up my stuff, thanks Kelly for your patience and thanks Nicole for bringing everything back to Burnaby for me.

Yeah it was a fun day meeting up with everyone. Thanks Dave for being such a great host n thanks Bigshow for the beautiful frag. Although I only get to pick last, this piece would have been my first choice anyway. Thank you all n looking foward for the next swap!

Thanks to Dave for doing an excellent job of hosting. Food was great, beer was cold and the coral was trading hands.

Thanks also to all the buyers, good luck with your new corals, and thanks to all the sellers who happily took all the money I made (plus more), your corals are looking great in my tanks.

It was great seeing everyone again.
