[Tn23]

[GVRD] 3rd Reefers Coral Swap & Meet at The Mezz, Feb 28, 2015 SATURDAY! BEER & CORAL!

Official Thread (Date Set for Feb 28, 2015)

Hey Guys! So the last frag swap was a great success and the reefers had a blast! Everyone's been bugging us to host another one so here we go!!! :mrgreen:
The venue which we used last time was kind enough to once again agree for us to use their place to host the swap. The Mezz has some great food along with some local beers on tap. :wink:

Just like last swap, we will have (2) or (3) or (4) or (5) tanks setup this year which will showcase all the corals for trades/swaps/sale.

Please, please comment on this thread or PM albert or myself if you plan on bringing corals which you would like to put into the tanks. Last swap we QUICKLY ran out of space and we could not house all the corals. This swap we would like to accommodate for everyone and have everything more organized. * you are welcome to bring used equipment as well*

*side note* you are welcome to bring your own tank and have it setup at the location as well, however you will need to contact me prior to make arrangements before hand.

We currently have (3) sponsors.
Oceanic Corals
Big Show Frag
Fiji Reef Rocks

(if you would like to donate or sponsor some prizes please send me a PM)

Date: Feb 28th, Saturday. 2014
Time: 11:30am (come enjoy lunch and grab a beer while swapping some frags :wink:)
Location: The location will be the same as last the last swap at the Mezz Lounge located upstairs of Badminton Vancouver (yup, that big badminton place you see driving south on Knight st. bridge -
http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/819/1cck.jpg

Prizes and Draws:
Just like last time we will have draws starting from 12:00 (noon)

EVERYONE is welcome to attend, you don't need to purchase or swap or trade corals to be entered into the draw. Just come by and have a look, browse around, chat, grab a beer and meet fellow reefers.

I know many people don't have things to trade or swap, perhaps you could purchase the coral or even trade for a beer or some food etc.
Once again you do NOT need to bring anything to come to this event, everyone is welcome. Its also family friendly event so bring everyone!

[duncangweller]

This time I'm coming. Thanks for organizing it again

[Sharkbait-huhaha]

Yeahhhhhhh buddddy!

[SeaHorse_Fanatic]

I'll be there this time. Thanks for organizing another one.

[rishu_pepper]

The missus and I will be there. Thanks for organizing!

[SeaHorse_Fanatic]

If anybody wants to carpool, we can meet at my place and then go down together.

[mutabaruka]

Is this meet open to folks from the island as well?

[albert_dao]

Is this meet open to folks from the island as well?

No.



Unless you love good people, great corals, beer and awesome food. If that's the case, I'm sure I can petition for your cause :P

[acepumping]

Bout time you finalize it hahaha. We know I'll be there ..

Happy.happy

[acepumping]

Bout time you finalize it hahaha. We know I'll be there ..If you need help guys. Make sure ya ask me..

Happy.happy

[daplatapus]

Is this meet open to folks from the island as well?

Maybe we can organize a car group or two?

[mutabaruka]

I live in Victoria, but I am going to be there that weekend, I would really like to drop by and meet you good people. I could probably force myself to have a beer or two and stare at the frags!

[acepumping]

Anybody is welcome.
That was a fast delete muta

[mutabaruka]

yea .... I went back and reread the post and realized I had not read the whole thing! lol

[SeaHorse_Fanatic]

For those from the Island or out-of-town wanting to make a weekend of it, I can accommodate a couple in our second bedroom and probably a couple more in our livingroom. You can store your frags in one of my two tanks and bring them to the frag meet if you come over Friday or store your new frags in my tanks and rebag them Sunday if you come over Saturday.

I know the cost of taking the ferry nowadays is ridiculous so if you extend your stay to an extra day, you can also have time to hit some of the Metro Vancouver stores (like J&L or Oceanic) and try some of the great restaurants around here.

So I can accommodate 4 people (maybe bring the wife so she can do her own shopping while you're at the frag swap with me & the locals). Perhaps more if we squeeze. I can always have my kids sleep over at their grandparents' if necessary. My mom would be thrilled to have the kids.

Anthony

[ScubaSteve]

Of course this is the same day as the missus' b-day! Dang it!

"Here you go babe, Happy Birthday!"
"What is it?"
"Rainbow Acans!"
"...."

[spit.fire]

[mutabaruka]

Of course this is the same day as the missus' b-day! Dang it!

"Here you go babe, Happy Birthday!"
"What is it?"
"Rainbow Acans!"
"...."

And 4 strangers from the island all singing Happy Birthday!

That's very generous of you Steve (and your wife and kids!) For myself, I have family I will stay with Friday and then return after the swap on Saturday.

What a great bunch of people in this hobby!

[SeaHorse_Fanatic]

Of course this is the same day as the missus' b-day! Dang it!

Lol. I was the same thing and thought the same. I will be bringing some frags. Mainly zoas and sps.

Excellent, I have been wanting to see your frags for some time! I hear good things .... or I guess I should say, I read good things!

[Ryanerickson]

I will also bring lots of sexy frags sps dominated😄

[BubblesUp]

My neighbour has gotten back into SW so I know I'll be there and probably my neighbour. I have a van but wondered if there is anyone else in the downtown/west end who want to car-pool to and from. Just a thought.

[mutabaruka]

You always have great pieces Ryan, I look forward to seeing them too.

[Accordexi]

Man what a perfect time.
And I just got my RSM250. Will have it setup so I can get more corals.... count me in

Tell me about it! My new tank should be rdy for coral n fish just abouts then as well

[Timbits]

Woohoo! Really hoping I can make this one since I missed the last one :biggrin:

[Tn23]

To answer a few questions.

Is it free? Yes. Everyone is welcome to attend. Please bring your friends and family as well!

Are we allowed to come if we don't have any corals to swap or trade? YES, you are most definitely welcome to come by and just hang out and enjoy a beer and hang out with the reef geeks :D

End time? Last swap we ended around 6:00pm - 7:00pm. It really depends on the attendance. The last one we had over 150 people show up, however it doesn't seem like there's as many people who have signed up to go yet this time around =/

[mikepclo]

Can't wait! Will definitely bring some goodies =)

[Animal-Chin]

Hmmm I have some skimmers, ATO, ect that I've been hanging on to that I might want to get rid off. Some coral too.

Do I have to let you know before hand or can it be a game day decision where I just show up with a bin full of equipment and a few bags or frags?

[Tn23]

Your welcome to make it a game day decision. We will have a table dedicated to all the equipment for sale again.
However if you want to ensure a spot in our frag tanks for the coral that you are bringing. Please let me know at least a week in advance. Thanks!

Ps. Your welcome to just bring them and leave them in the bags if you decide to make it a game day decision. Might just be hard to showcase them.

[Animal-Chin]

Alright, I'll try to get myself organized and fraggin!

[Ginu]

Booked the day off... First swap for me

Won't have anything to offer but i might buy


Count me in

Hi Anthony,

I'm not from the Island, however if my wife kicked me out of the house I will probably move to the island. Can I stay over night into your place just in case? :lol::lol:

Thanks for organizing Thomas, I will drop by for sure ;)

Let's do a reefers' after-party/sleepover at Anthony's! :lol::lol:

Apparently Anthony is quite the cook as well.

Perhaps it's not too late to change the venue to Anthony's place - accommodations and food. Can't get any better than that!

I'm looking for frags to populate my tank. Still need to fill the drag rack I bought from Dave.

No problem crimper. I'll even throw in fresh sheets on the bed:wink::wink:

I'd love to do an after swap party at my place, but what always happens is everyone rushes home to put away their new goodies and then spend hours ooohing and ahhhing at the new frags :biggrin:

Or is that just me???

Anyways, I'll make sure I make a bunch of frags and mini colonies (mostly sps & some zoa/palys) for the swap meet.

Thanks again to the organizers.

Anthony

[F.H]

I'm quite excited as well, last time was a lot of fun.

I was day dreaming the other day where I showed Thomas and Albert my pretty empty display and they collectively agreed to donate everything to me.

....... :third:

[SeaHorse_Fanatic]

Woops, I meant I'll make some LPS (NOT sps) frags.

[Tn23]

Looks like we currently have 5 tanks at the swap.
If you would like to bring a tank/setup of your own please send me a PM. More the merrier. :)

[albert_dao]

I just wanted to bump this to the front again with some updates:

• All our sponsors will be donating prizes will be drawn each hour. Raffle tickets are earned by attending, conducting a trade or purchase and eating food!

• Yes, we will do beer slams for prizes! We'll do one every hour or two as time allows.

• The food and drink at Mezz are EXCELLENT. All food sales will garner entry to our draw contests.

• This is an all-ages event.

• There will be some finger foods in the afternoon.

On a personal note:

• This time around, I will be bringing some fish and inverts, please contact me if you have something specific you'd like to see.

• Last time we had some trouble with fresh cuts stressing out in the tanks. If you are bringing a fresh cut, please keep them in bags or containers and not mix them with everyone stuff in the main tanks. Better yet, frag now, you have three weeks to get your corals ready :)

Lastly, I'd like to remind anyone who is considering bringing stuff to the tanks/tables to please contact myself, Thomas or Tyler prior to attendance. Unless it's dry goods, feel free to bring any equipment or dry good offerings at your own discretion. We will set up a table for that.

[chef]

I'll b there Albert. Can ya pm me ur digits. Id love to discuss a few things (if thats cool)

[duncangweller]

I'm looking forward to it. Question; will the frag tanks have sand beds?:eek:

Damn work schedule changed n I have work till 9pm that day. What time did the frag meet end last time.

[RMC]

Ok, you guys are timing the swamps to keep me away.

The last one, Nov. 10, the official due date of my 2nd child. Somehow I managed to make it. She ended up being 2 days late and I have a VERY understanding wife.

Now this one you set up on my the 3rd birthday of my oldest daughter. Not sure if I'm going to be able to swing this one!! And I wanted to start stocking up for my new build.:laluot_08:

[Tn23]

Jason. It lasted till about 7pm and we wrapped things up and headed home around 8. It really depends on the crowd and the night. Your welcome to text me and see what we are doing throughout the day. I'll try to keep this thread updated.

[Tn23]

Looking forward to seeing you there Janet =).

Also if anyone has corals to bring and would like to put them into our frag tanks. Please pm me and notify me as we need to plan spacing carefully.

Otherwise you will have to leave your frags in your bag. =/ thxs.

[Reef Pilot]

I am hoping to make this one. Depends a bit on the weather, ie. if it is a good skiing day or flying day, might have to skip out. Not sure if I will have any frags to bring, if I do, can keep them in floating bags.

Montipora - Ultra Superman, Ultra PokerStar, M. digitata ‘Forest Fire’, Sanddollar,Nauti Spiral

Haha... Well... You may have to work to keep your crown. Last time, let's just say we ALL stopped mid chug to pick our jaws up off the floor.

Great idea. Good way to spread the word. This time around the swap should be pretty packed. The kitchen has kindly offered to donate some finger food for everyone to nibble on.

Please don't forget to give them a big thanks and shown them some support by grabbing some food or drinks as they are offering us the venue to use.


I've never seen someone chug a beer as fast as Subie... :lol:

Agreed. SUBIE is the current champ. I'd love to see Rich or someone take his crown :mrgreen:

Due to the fact that I cannot go home right away after the swap, will there be foam boxes provided for those who have multiple bags?

thanks

Sorry Peter. Please bring your own cooler/bucket. Thx

[justwon]

Wow, amazing setup guys. Can't wait to see it in person.

[lickervo]

I will bring a bunch of smaller foam boxes. Look for the really tall guy if you want some.

Holy Crap Batman. How many $$$$ worth of frags are already in those tanks by 2:30 am?? :surprise::surprise::surprise: I'd be nervous about a power outage or somebody walking by and knocking out the plugs with that much $$ in corals sitting in temporary tanks overnight. I would probably end up sleeping at the lounge to watch over my corals if I had that many high-end frags in those temp tanks somewhere other than my home :redface::redface:

See you all there in a couple of hours.

[Carrera75]

Wow, look at all those high end frags! It's amazing that a single person can have all those super fancy, expensive and rare frags.
Somebody is going to make lots of money today! Thomas is a lucky guy :-)



Last few shots!

I didn't make it today. I knew I was going to miss a good one. It was a tough decision, though. But with the gorgeous flying weather, I couldn't resist. Got to arrange a rainy or crappy day for these events... lol.

[Accordexi]

Thanks for coming out guys. Had a great turn out with lots of nice frags from everyone!

Looking forward to the next one!

[r212019]

Sorry about the no show in the chugging comp. here is a sample of my quick drinking skills. If anyone thinks they can challenge this speed I will be more prepared at the next swap. I didn't have time to grab any non alcoholic before this swap
