Keri,

If you need a place to crash in town instead of heading right back to the Sunshine Coast, we can probably put you up in our spare bedroom & store your new frags overnight in my frag tank. Just an option instead of a zip-in, zip-out rushed day.

Anthony

Hey thanks for the offer! We're totally used to the zip in and out days tho - tomorrow will be one! - loading up the car with styrofoam boxes and catching an early ferry! Got the routine down pat by now :D we used to stay in town overnight more often before we had SW lol!

I get more excited than a kid in a candy store when we go to the LFS - going to check out what Ocean Aquatics has tomorrow. :mrgreen:

super7
04-02-2008, 06:13 AM
I am going to try and be there as a buyer. Birthday is the next day so I might get some funding from family:) early birthday presents.
Also what time as that is a major factor.

Me and Smoczek will be there as buyers! This is our first time and we're super excited!

The time will be from 12 noon to 4pm.

if that's the case then it definitely increases my chances of being able to come.

noticed some things i can frag while looking at the tank last night. hopefully ill be able to contribute something!

Jason McK
04-02-2008, 10:01 PM
It begining to look like there will be a lot of Buyers. We just might have to loosen off some of the frag limits and ensure we move quickly through the auction.

If you are a seller. Start thinking of what you will be bringing and make a list of what you think you will bring. Nothing carved in stone. Even if it's just one piece. e-mail that to reefnetwork@gmail.com as soon as you can. This will help me figure out how many frags we will be looking at.

Thanks

how much do frags usually end up selling for?

i just remembered my gf's birthday is a week beforehand...never good for the pocketbook!

Jason McK
04-03-2008, 12:04 AM
It can be a huge range from about $7 to $40.

skylord
04-03-2008, 05:21 AM
Softies are welcome.....I would just be sure its what people want. Pulsing Zenia wouldnt be a good choice. Some real nice Zoa's would most likely sell. But let Jason know what you are considering and he will let you know whats good and whats not so good.

sunce_22
04-03-2008, 05:26 AM
I may be the only person, but I am looking for some white pulsing xenia! :smile:

Yeah... I wouldn't mind a pom pom xenia :)

Jason McK
04-03-2008, 05:36 AM

Questions can be PMed to Me, TomR, or Scott (Skylord)

skylord
04-03-2008, 07:32 AM
I would say Pom Pom and White Zenia are a little more special than the everyday variety of pulsing zenia. Most important for the sellers is to use the email addy Jason posted and let him know what you want to sell.

Well this just sucks.I just found out today that Im getting my surgery for my ACL and cartilage in my knee done on the 5th.Im not allowed to do anything for 2 weeks and I wont be working for 3 months and probably wont have any extra money for the next while.Im so sad now.Im going to second the online bidding even though being there last year I know that that wouldnt work very well.For those that will be going it will be a great time with great frags.Now I need to pout for a while:sad:.Clint

Clint,

I'll probably be there. If you can let me know what you are looking for specifically & price range, I can bid for you. I can probably send it home with TomR or someone else who lives nearer to you in Surrey. Good luck with the surgery. I've had 3 knee operations on my left knee & those were not fun times. Hopefully, you'll be fully recovered soon & able to get around again.

The time has come to post the address.

134-23925 116th Ave Maple Ridge

Here is the map......just a little note....you must access 116th from 240th. 116 is a bunch of little streets all over Maple Ridge. At the end of 116 turn right and we are the first house on the left.


http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&ie=UTF8&msa=0&msid=107021899548681720351.00044c4c9789ae1763b8a&ll=49.215663,-122.558241&spn=0.010877,0.033903&z=15

Parking could become an issue but you will notice a gravel parking area as you come in. Grab a spot if you can. My driveway will house 5 cars. Please don't block the neighbors. You can park on 116 just before you turn in to our place.

So if you want to hang and chat for a bit first or if you feel you need to touch all the floating bags please try and get there a little early. There will be a registration process that you will need to sign in and get an auction number. This will need to be done BEFORE 12:30.

Thanks all. See you tomorrow

I thought that was a first class event. VERY well organized. Thanks to everyone who worked to make that happen (I won't list names for fear of leaving someone out...)

Next time, I'll make sure my pictures are better...

Somehow, I've found room for 8 more pieces of coral!!!

Thank you Lil and Scott for letting us invade your home and see your amazing system. There were some very nice pieces sold today. Thank you to reef network for putting this great event on and providing us with a place to get some of the rarer and nicer frags in the lower mainland. Now all I have to do is find a place on one of my powerheads to fit all my new frags.
Thanks again, Chris

I believe a good time was had by all. The auction part of the event went very well and fast. We had 25 registered bidders and about 40 people for most of the event. I was impressed with 3 in particular. Two drove all the way from Kamloops just for this frag party, then drove home after. Wow. The third was so determined to be here, when his ride bailed out on him he got on his bicycle and rode in from Langley.

I took a few pics of the event.

The first two will give you an idea of what it takes to store that many frags. Two 6ft tanks in my fish room where absolutely full. My sump was so full it shut down the skimmer.

Heres a shot of a few people trying to figure out how to sneak out with my display tank.

And probably one of the most important tools used was the display. Jason McK brought a projector and we were able to show every frag or Mother Colony.

Thanks to Scott and Lil for hosting such a great event and to all those involved with the event. And thanks to Jason for pointing out which pieces were '' LE '' because I don't have the experience to know the difference. Now I just need to get some ''Super Male'' fish to go with those frags!

I want to thank Scott and Lil for opening their home to all the rowdy reefers. Jason Mck was the point man on this project and it was the best yet.

It was one of the BEST events so far, held by your REEF NETWORK.

I obviously left to early as it looks like Lil brought out the good stuff after I was gone.

I believe a good time was had by all. And finally a shot of my wife after the party.....

PS: I guess I will have to turn my 3 frag tanks into the now very popular ZOO farms. I might then be able to giving Doug (Pinhead) a run for top frag.

I Had a great time and all the frags i bought had polyps out within half an hour of being in the tank.

Was glad to meet the great canreef people, with some 3reef and reefcentral posters as well.

Thanks again to Scott and Lil and their family and to the reef network guys (Jason tom chris and kyle) who worked so long and hard for no extra pay for themselves.

also big props to all the buyers and sellers who participated for everything going smoothly

it was A great adventure and experiance.

Hey!

Many thanks to everyone who put this together, as well as many thanks to everyone for allowing two bidders come from the interior and be apart of your network. I can't wait until the day comes when I put up new photos and someone says "great tank....looks a lot like May's TOTM". The majority of what i bought was from Tom's collection. That green monti cap is amazing under actinics!

I can't wait until the next one. Hopefully I will have something to add to the pot, mind you I don't know if it's needed. 150 frags was great. Also I can't wait for the possibility of a hardware yard sale. I'm interested to find what many of you think is old or junk and becomes my new gold.

Thanks again, great meeting all of you.
