VI frag swap

[Gee]

I had so much fun at the frag swap at Anthony's that I think we should do one here on the island. Maybe tentatively for the weekend after labor day weekend in Sept? I have plenty of room to host.

Thoughts?

[Lance]

I'd be interested. Looking to buy some SPS to replace those I lost. I have some Toadstools & Kenya Trees to give away to whoever wants them. Things grow like weeds.

[christyf5]

Sounds good, I might even have something to frag by then :wink:

Christy, did that bright yellow frag I gave you catch on?

[christyf5]

Christy, did that bright yellow frag I gave you catch on?

Sadly no, it croaked. I don't think Darrens made it either :(

[Lance]

Sadly no, it croaked. I don't think Darrens made it either :(


Bummer! I was hoping someone's was growing, as mine is not looking too good after the fan incident.

[christyf5]

Aww nuts. That was an awesome piece too. Did you send some off to Marie? Maybe you should, she'll have frags for all of us by September :razz:

[Lance]

I can't remember if she took one. I hope so. I know she took a piece of that rainbow Stylo. I lost that one too. :sad:

[SeaHorse_Fanatic]

Once you set a date, I'll see if I can arrange a group from over on the LM to come to your event (reciprocating your efforts to come to ours:wink:)

Actually, I've been to at least a couple of VI reefer get togethers over the years & they've always been lots of fun. I would encourage anyone who can make it to do so.

I can probably bring a cooler of frags & if VI/Powll River reefers let me know ahead of time, I can also bring some supplies from the LFS if desired.

Excellent Anthony! :biggrin:

I took a piece of your green stylo.....don't think I got a frag of any yellow acro.

The rainbow stylo I got from snappy is trying to take over the tank....your welcome to a chunk of it

[PoonTang]

Yes sadly mine never survived either. Very strange and sad too because it was an awesome coral.

Oh, ok. I knew it was one of the stylos. As for the rainbow, I'd love a piece. Whenever you get around to fragging it give me a call.

I may need your help to frag it....stylophora is hard to frag at the best of times and this one is growing in a tight ball shape.

I've been putting off fragging it even though it's shading my pearlberry acro

Yeah, that thick skeleton is hard to cut. Is there room to get at it with bolt cutters or metal shears?

Thats crazy, I thought your pearlberry was at the highest point on the rock (although you've moved the tank around since I saw it last). Lets see some close ups! :wink:

Hmm, I think we've hijacked this thread pretty good today, at least its keeping it at the top though :razz:

[tlo]

i'd be in for sure!

[Greenmaster]

This would be my first get together with other reefers... (technicaly I'm not a reefer yet... but I may be by September)... I hope to have water in my set-up and be ready for a couple of frags... I'll be there even if I don't have my set-up up and running yet... but it would be nice to have a date and time set ASAP so I can book the day off. :D

[Aquattro]

I could use some frags myself :)

[marie]

I didn't see these.....I obviously need to follow the threads more closely lol

Tank is still the same as you last saw it, things have just grown a bit since then

I'll take a frag of each of those SPS :lol: I like the pearlberry

[marie]

Be careful what you ask for, if you come over with a few coolers I could have your tank stocked in no time :lol:

[Gee]

OK ... back on track ... how does the 12th of September sound? I'd be willing to host as I do have a fair amount of room, especially if we have good weather.

I don't even have to book a time off... I can start on Sunday any time I want :D even at 11:59 pm or even Monday but it would make my Monday shift a long one cause they might run into each other :D I'll be there!
Also its a little bit later in the month so I should have my tank cycled and some fish in it already.

[Lance]

12th is good by me.

[Greenmaster]

12th is good by me.

I have a minivan and would be willing to pick-up up to 5 people from the PR ferry and drive them to the thing and back (Depending on the time it starts and what the group from PR wants to do probably the first ferry 8:10 (would get us to Naniamo before 11:00 or the 12:00 would get us there at around 2:30-3:00 probably catch the last ferry home on the Sunday 7:15 we would have to leave by 5:30ish depending on the location in Naniamo).

Was thinking 12:00 to 4:00 .... and I'm located on Stewart Ave .... just down the road from departure bay ferry.

Garry

[Youngster Dan]

This sounds like it would be worth the trip from Victoria. I can drive people from Vic if they are interested :)

So this is a go? Not much has been said for over 2 weeks...

[christyf5]

I'm in, missed this thread while I was on holidays. Yay frag swap! I might even have some stuff to swap!

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v224/mariesnell/july410021-1.jpg

Poor pearlberry, its just not growing nearly as fast as that stylo :razz: Crazy!! The piece from you, Marie, isn't a happy camper in my tank, it STNed some and has now totally browned out. I'm hoping it comes around soon :neutral:

[PoonTang]

12 th works for me but i will only be a buyer and not a seller, nothing big enough to cut yet :(

[Greenmaster]

I might not even be able to buy anything yet... I'm rushing my build so that I can get the water in soon but it looks like I'll be out by about 2 weeks... I'll still be there though.

[Gee]

So this is a go? Not much has been said for over 2 weeks...

It's a go ... I've fragged a ton of zoa's including but not limited to boy scouts, cammiepallies, darth mauls, radio active dragon eyes, whammin watermelons, assorted blues, assorted greens. I have some branching green acro cut, some purple with green polyp acro, some green digi, some funky blue base with red and green polyp encrusting monti, I might have some sunset monti ready ... ummm, just going off the top of my head here, but ... superman monti ... limited deep water japenese zoa's as I just got them recently ... mmm, probably a lot more by then.

I'll have some styro boxes here ... also, John a local reefer will fire up a bbq and we'll have some beverages available. John will also have some of his frag racks here and he has a source for frozen uni (urchin eggs I believe) that will be available too.

PM me for my address and contact info, it could be one of the easiest houses to find in Nanaimo. I don't want to post the addy publicly though.

Everyone save your sun dances for that weekend ... :lol:

[Gee]

I might not even be able to buy anything yet... I'm rushing my build so that I can get the water in soon but it looks like I'll be out by about 2 weeks... I'll still be there though.

well, at least you'll know who to come to when you are ready!!!

[Gee]

oh, the couple things that I would like to get my hands on are superman digi, superman zoa's and spiderman zoa's.

[Greenmaster]

Tanks on course to be up and running 3 weeks before the frag swap so I plan I getting some SPS :D

[Lance]

Looking forward to it. :biggrin: I love meeting other Canreefers!
I'll mostly be a buyer. Had a partial tank crash and am looking to replace some SPS and zoos.

[Gee]

Took some shots today from my frag tank. I add a few frags every day. Note that lighting is pure 14k 250 hqi MH, no attinics so the blues will be better in most tanks ... hard to believe. You can check my photo bucket for more shots. Most all will be available at the swap, please don't message me now about frags, I will only reply to buying requests after the 12th of Sept. Don't worry ... clean up crew is going in tomorrow, guess the one tang can't keep up with the algae.

[delo978]

Dam I'm in chile from the 31st till the 19th....Greenmaster you'll just have to pickup some frags for me ;) Well maybe I'll ask my wife if she wants to go. I'll let you know.

I'm not sure if you would want to put them in my tank as it is going to be very new... but that would be a possibility.

As for the pics they look awesome I'll probably buy some of the cheaper SPS when I am there. I don't want to get anything too costly... because it is most likely going to die anyways.

[milesj250]

count me in.

[Borderjumper]

Were going to try and make it. I've had the last 2 days off, so we made a couple dozen Aussie acan frags and a ton of ric's. I'll post a pic after they open.

ohhh, very nice

[swervygirl]

oh oh sounds like a great plan!
I have nothing but pesty Kenya trees but hopefully with some luck and some nice frags I'll have something to contribute next time!

Lori

[KevinK]

i'm in I think, is my birthday the 12th, so have to se how to fit it in.

in worst case I would put up what I'm locking for/ i have, and maybe somone can shop for me (prepaid)

depends if i can go or not

[Lance]

Any updates? Do we know aprox. how many will be attending?

[swervygirl]

12th works at this end too.
I'm coming from Parksville, back seats are out of my van but have room for one passenger.

Lori

[KevinK]

I will try to make it, as it is my birthday, I dont know the planning 100%

I will put up what I have later, as I'm about to make some space in the upcoming week

[Greenmaster]

Well I was sure I was going till someone reminded me that I have volunteered to help with a dog show (my wife is in it) I tried to get out of it but it's too late to find a replacement... Maybe I will make it to the next one... on a side note I think I rushed my tank too much in prep for frags so I think it's good I have to take a step back.

[SeaHorse_Fanatic]

Unless something pops up, there will be a CRV load of us coming for the day from the Lower Mainland.

Have to replace my hot water tank this weekend so won't be able to go to the Kamloops one after all.:cry:

On the other hand, more frags for VI:biggrin:

[Lance]

:woot: All right! Looks like a good turn out. I will definitely be there.

[Chaloupa]

On the other hand, more frags for VI:biggrin:

WOOT!

[freezetyle]

newley moved to the island just got the tank back up and running after a crash.

Mind if i come to meet some of you and replenish the tank a bit?:biggrin:

Gee I call dibs on one of those darth maul frags!

I dont have anylive stock at the moment but if anyone is in the market for a frag tank i have a 20"(Length) X 14" (height) x 18"(width) hearbie overflow, and two 3?4" returns and some (10lbsish) bulk calcium salts (for making 2 part)

[Mrfish55]

I would love to partake but my tank is so bad right now I can't even keep red bugs and monti eating nudis alive:twised:. I think I am way overdue for an overhaul, on a positive note we just went to Vancouver aquarium and there tanks were looking worse than mine so there is hope for me yet.

Lance, if Chaloupa still has that Squirrel fish and you meet up perhaps you could bring it over.

[Lance]

Can do. Maybe let her know I'll be there and she can bring the fish with her.

[Chaloupa]

Lance, if Chaloupa still has that Squirrel fish and you meet up perhaps you could bring it over.

I DO still have it....I moved it into a more aggressive tank...but I will see if I can get it back out......and then I will bring it. Will let you know whether or not I've been successful and it will stay in a sump until ready to go!

[tlo]

I cant wait til this sunday.
I will be bringing


orange monti cap
green frogspawn w pink tips
bluey-purple chalice w green flecks.
blue zoos

[Lance]

I'll mostly be buying, but will bring 2x large Toadstools and some Kenya Trees: free to whomever wants them and a few Rainbow Stylophora frags. Maybe some other pieces if I get them fragged.

[swervygirl]

About what time is everyone thinking of coming?
And Lance....I'd love one of the toadstools if you could hold one for me?
thanks!
Lori

[Lance]

I should be there about noonish. Sure, I'll hold one of the TS for you.

[SeaHorse_Fanatic]

With last night's tank blow out & my subsequent injuries, I'm not 100% certain that I'll be in any condition to come out on Sunday. If my ribs heal, then I'll still try to make it. Totally sucks but that's life I guess.

Tylenol & Crown Royal. You'll forget all about the sore ribs.
See you Sunday! :mrgreen:

[PoonTang]

So what time is it starting and where is it at?

[SeaHorse_Fanatic]

If Vic (Veng68) and I come out on Sunday, is anyone available to pick us up from the ferry terminal if we just park & walk on with my cooler (wheeled)?

Anthony

Noon to 4, I believe. PM Gee for address, etc.

If you come Duke Point way I could get you on my way.

[christyf5]

I can pick you guys up from the Departure Bay ferry, you might have to find a ride back to the ferry after though.

I'll have frag(s) of:

Pink pocilipora damicornis
Greeny yellow birdsnest (I think S. caliendrum)
Pipe organ
Pink birdsnest with green tipped polyps (kind of irridescenty)
Piece of A. turaki
Green digitata
Supposed to be blue digitata but is brown right now (its a bit of a crabby bugger)

thats all off the top of my head, there might be more but my motivation levels are at an all time low.

[Chaloupa]

I'll be there as a seller and possibly buyer......

I will have some colonies and some frags..but mostly small colonies as I'm planning to do the tank switch over next month and don't want to risk trying to move these to a very new and fairly unstable setup..will just keep a small piece of each to grow out again.

Will post some pics after the camera is charged...but will have (if interest is shown);

LARGE colony of Bubblegum Acro
Medium colony of Snappy's Shag Carpet
LARGE colony of Blue Tenuis I believe....someone correct me when you see the pic
HUGE frag of Purple Cross
Colony of Blue Mille
Medium colony of Green Acro (technical eh?)
Medium colony of Snappy's Deep Purple Valida
LARGE frag or small colony of Snappy's Yellow Purple Polyp Acropora Austera
1 frag of Snappy's Killer "Special-K" Cerealis
Frags of this very cool colony that I have no idea what it is...but it's a blue green acro and it grows well...(another technical name)
And more...just have to look harder at the tank!

[Gee]

Lots of PMs .... should be a good turn out. On a side note, my tank in the last couple of day went meh, some corals dead ... not sure what happened. But this means more real estate, lol.

[Borderjumper]

I have a bunch of Florida ric's if anyone is interested.

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y240/Carrida/IMG_0426.jpg

Don't have anything to frag or sell (sigh) nothing is far enough along but am interested in purchasing.

I can pick people up at Duke Point, it's on my way. Just catch the 10:15am sailing.

[SeaHorse_Fanatic]

How many can you accommodate?

It looks like at least 3 from my end (if we're coming) plus Riptide.

[SeaHorse_Fanatic]

RipTide,

If we do go, you can meet at my place in Burnaby and we all carpool to the ferry terminal together & back. I may be also able to hold your purchases for you in one of my tanks during your vacation.

Anthony

[Riptide]

It looks like it's going to be a family trip (3) :redface: So we will probably walk across (can't afford to take the car across) and see if my grandfather can pick us up at Duke Point. Thanks Anyways

SeaHorse Fanatic I might take you up on the offer for babysitting if it's still there...

Gee still waiting for an address....when you get the chance:wink:

[christyf5]

Not sure about frags from me, just got home and my green S. caliendrum has partially RTNed and about half looks like the polyps are mush. I just fragged the crap out of it to try to save it. As well my pink P. damicornis and pink birdsnest are not happy campers. Not sure what is going on in the tank, things looked fine at 11am but something is up. :neutral:

[Chaloupa]

Birdsnest $35.00
Austera and Purple Coral? SOLD and SOLD
Blue Mille $50.00 (sorry the glass isn't clean but the coral reaches the glass
http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c212/Chaloupa/BlueMille.jpg
BubbleGum broke in many pieces so will have frags (this thing is at least a foot)
http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c212/Chaloupa/BubbleGumAcro.jpg
Purple Cross SOLD
Purple Valida SOLD

[Chaloupa]

Purple Tenius or maybe blue? $45.00 AND Snappy's Shag Carpet SOLD
http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c212/Chaloupa/PurpleTeniusandShagCarpet.jpg

[Borderjumper]

I will take the purple valida Sarah.

[Chaloupa]

I will take the purple valida Sarah.

Alright....shall I bring it with me to Vic tomorrow?? I am leaving here around 11am

[Borderjumper]

If you want to drop it off that would be groovy..Either I or Boo will be home, call me when you get to town.

[Chaloupa]

If you want to drop it off that would be groovy..Either I or Boo will be home, call me when you get to town.

You bet, will do!

So Purple Valida is sold......the rest are still up for grabs.

The blue on the mille is really really hard to catch...it's very blue with purple tips and the colony is large, my picture just sucks. The Bubblegum is very very very large. There has been some die off on the bottom as it get's absolutely no light due to the coral being so large. The rest are all in good shape, healthy, the Birdsnest has had a bit of a time...it was broken off the rock it was on, moved it into better flow and it's done beautifully!

[flipzed]

shelly how much u want for the florida rics??? i might be interested in stopping by and picking some up..

[Borderjumper]

$20 or trade for some high end zoa frags, I still looking for a good size piece of bright orange digi, and a nice little Monti cap, and a small bright pink birds nest


So Ive never been to a frag swap before.. I'm thinking Since I have so many diff colors of ric's I would put them on a rack and take a picture.. Then number them, putting the number on the bag. Then we could look at the pic on photo bucket with a laptop or Iphone???

Groovy.. Pictures?

[christyf5]

So Ive never been to a frag swap before.. I'm thinking Since I have so many diff colors of ric's I would put them on a rack and take a picture.. Then number them, putting the number on the bag. Then we could look at the pic on photo bucket with a laptop or Iphone???

That sounds good to me :biggrin:

[PoonTang]

Groovy.. Pictures?

Ummm no I don't think I do have any pictures but I have both the grape and firetruck monti caps from OC. Also a purple tip digi but it's not the real orange one.

[Borderjumper]

ok heres the rics Im going to bring. They will be in numbered bags. Please make notes on which ones you want.. as once in the bags they will all pretty much look the same until they open up.

Took some shots today from my frag tank. I add a few frags every day. Note that lighting is pure 14k 250 hqi MH, no attinics so the blues will be better in most tanks ... hard to believe. You can check my photo bucket for more shots. Most all will be available at the swap, please don't message me now about frags, I will only reply to buying requests after the 12th of Sept. Don't worry ... clean up crew is going in tomorrow, guess the one tang can't keep up with the algae.

[Youngster Dan]

Would have loved to see everyone, but something came up and I will have to take a raincheck. I know there is some pretty nice stuff, I will be sure to not miss the next one!

[chandigz]

Shelly. If you have some acan frags I'll take two different colours. I'm also interested in ric #10.

[flipzed]

hey shelly i was just wondering if you could bring those extra fans for the rsm 130??? ill be comming to this event, that would be really awesome... thanks :)

[christyf5]

I'd like a ricordea #15 Shelley :)

[SeaHorse_Fanatic]

Sorry y'all but my injuries sustained when I crashed on the tile flooring during the 220g tank breakage is acting up with this cold, damp weather & I'm in no condition to make a ferry trip over to VI to join everyone on Sunday. This totally sucks but if I go, I'm sure it'll mean I'll be lots of pain and will set back my full recovery by several days, if not longer. Not worth the extra wasted time. Better to stay in bed & rest & hope things get better sooner rather than later.

(PS: first time ever that I'm feeling my age & "old")

These types of injuries used to go away after a day or so. Not so much nowadays. Hate not being 20 any more:cry:

Have fun everybody. This will be the first VI get together I've missed so I'm pretty bummed out.

For the reefer from AB, if you want, you can still leave your purchases in my tank. Just drop them off at my place in Burnaby when you get back. My cell number is 604-868-5553.

[KevinK]

i'm in I think, is my birthday the 12th, so have to se how to fit it in.

in worst case I would put up what I'm locking for/ i have, and maybe somone can shop for me (prepaid)

depends if i can go or not

so now the day has come, and unfortunatly, the planning dous not alow me to visit the FS.

whit this in mind, I ask you all to considder a new FS in the beginning of next year, lets say the end of february ore so.

I will open my door to any that wants to drop in, and depending on the wether, we can still do a BBQ ore something.

this way it gives everyone about 5 months to frag,

we can even combine it with a yard sale for aquarium related things


as long as we have fun.

sorry I cant attedn this one, hope we can set something up for beginning of next year at our place (Langford, Vic)

Kevin

[flipzed]

does anyone know what the address is? im wanting to come to it but i dont know where to go?

[Chaloupa]

On my way, a bit behind with the SPCA Paws for a Cause

[delo978]

hope the swap is going well......I would have loved to be there but im still in Chile well maybe next time.

[Borderjumper]

What a nice afternoon! It was a pleasure meeting you all, and thanks so much to our gracious host! Not to mention the ice chest full of new corals I brought home! For sure let's do it again... I have room, maybe next time at my place. I'm thinking early December.? That gives us time to get some frags going, and then maybe a Spring Swap at KevinK's??

[christyf5]

Awesome time! Thanks for hosting Gary! I just got home a bit ago and can't believe I came home $5 AHEAD!! (unheard of....really).

Thanks to Borderjumper, Chaloupa, Chandigz and Gee for the great frags. It didn't take me long to fill that hole left by that colony (and my frag rack...again :razz:).

[chandigz]

Thanks for hosting Gary. It was nice to see everyone again and meet the rest. Thanks Shelly for the awesome acans, zoas, and ricordia. Thanks Gary for the zoas especialy the darth maul paly. And thanks to everyone else for the frags. Hope we can all do this again soon it was lots of fun and I got my fix for this week. Hope to see ya all at the TGVAS frag workshop next week.

Thanks everyone for the great day. Especially our host!

I love my new stuff and even got more at the lfs in Duncan! Husband wasn't too unhappy :)

[PoonTang]

Had a great time too. Some nice new frags, and new friends. Great to see all of the old friends again too. I too had to stop in Duncan....2 new clams....weeeee.

[Greenmaster]

Thanks for hosting, it was nice to meet those of you who stuck around till the end, as I couldn't get there on time. Hopefully the next frag swap my tank will be able to hold some frags...(and keep them alive) although I didn't leave empty handed, I got a 15g tank for my brother. Looking forward to the next swap. :D

[Chaloupa]

Thank you so much Garry for hosting. I really enjoyed seeing everyone again. I would love to do it again in December...I'll have quite a few frags in December....as the rest will be done by then! Lori I will have a Blue Mille frag for you anytime...if we go to Vic I'll bring you one! It's a beauty! OH and thank you everyone for buying and thank you to everyone I got frags from
