Zoa Trading Club

[Nano]

I'm not sure if this has come up (but it probably has) but I am seeing if anyone is interested in doing occasional zoa trades locally, edmonton and surrounding area? I have about 22 types ATM and hope to have some small frags available in a month or 2, but would rather trade then sell, as I find more interesting stuff this way, I know I have swapped with a few of you already, and have received some neat zoas!
Again, just thought I'd see if there was any interest. If there is, we could either post pictures, or do a house to house thing to see what everyone has, and how much is available, put little "orders" together, and meet up over coffees or something and swap. The nice thing about this IMO is everyone will always have a certain type so if yours melted for some reason you could always reacquire them this way

Let me know! Again, I don't have anything to frag yet, my zoas are just about recovered, but I will have some interesting ones when the time comes,
purple hornets
orange oxides
blue eyed blondes
supermans
teal rings
Orange explosion (?) (Orange frills purple center)
lots of others as well

if anyone in edmonton sees this, im looking for the palys i got to name on coralpedia i sold them to coreyskylar i believe, if anyone has a frag i would be very generous on what i trade for it:):)

[Nano]

And I would be interested in fruit loops or rastas

[troni]

I think most corals but more focused around zoos cause they grow quick, and transport well.

Watermelons
Nuclear Holocost
Teal Paly
Delightful Paly (A bit bleached ATM)
Green Paly (in huge supply and a very nice green under my LEDS)
Radioactive dragon eye zoas
Green Bay packers
Blue zoas with purple tentacles (calling them midnight blues)
Brown/Green Palys
Aqua Blue with Pink tentacles (no idea what these are called)
Sunny yellow polyps
Armor of God Paly (Only one available)
Purple People eaters (Only one available)
Fire and Ice (Only one available)
Pink and purple zoas
Eagle eye zoas

Some pics of these can be seen in my build thread but I will take better ones if needed now that I figured out my camera.

If anyone is interested I will most likely be in EDM this weekend.

[SteveConn]

I'd be game to do this :-)

[reefgirl189]

[ensquire]

I am were bowling! Trying to get her going :lol:

[The Grizz]

Not interested in trading just hoarding :twised:

:2gunfire: so everyone hand over what you got that I don't have

[troni]

well ill try and organize one for the next reef meet in edmonton.
hopefully reefwars if up for the long flight from the lagoon

[Nano]

Well if its a go try and organize it for say end of May, that gives everyone time from out of town to make plans, and yeah Greg and Denny you guys should for sure get your arses up here and everyone else of course :lol:

[The Grizz]

Now that it's nicer out & I am extremely busy with work any free time will be spent on getting the acreage cleaned up. So there will be no extra trips any where unless it is work related so don't count on me.

[Nano]

Boooooooooooooo. Well no worries :) if I come across a nice frag I think youll like ill drop it off next time I go to cowtown :)

[reefwars]

and yeah Greg and Denny you guys should for sure get your arses up here



havent you heard??? all the best zoa hoarders are south of e town:twised:


now if we were to pick a day say that was in may and on a weekend i could make the trip up and maybe bring a bunch of zoos for all you zoomonglers!! lol:P:P

[reefwars]

Hey Denny , There must be some unique ones in the lagoon. Man you are a world traveller LOL



what can i say.....tax evasion......its a ruff road always 2 steps ahead of the " man " :P

[troni]

should there be ground rules?
something like:
frag size to be:sps 2-3 inchs
zoas,palys 3-5 heads
LPS 1 head
must be mounted whether on plug or on tiny chunk of rock
anything else?

No Bugs!
All corals would have to be dipped prior to trading. and monitored for a day or so afterwards to watch for bugs. or what ever keeps bugs from spreading.
I'd also be interested in swapping larger frags for nice Ricordeas

[NanoReef]

God I wish I were from Edmonton and area... I would love to get in on this but shipping would need to be involved!

[Nano]

I have 2 frags available if anyone wants a swap
I have Radioactive dragon Eyes 15-20 polyps
and a frag of these guys - 10+ polyps

[troni]

Post in frag swap

[blacknife]

I think if I was worried about getting pests that I would be dipping the corals myself after receiving them rather than expecting someone else to dip them then monitor them in the tank that they came from which may have the pests in the first place. How else besides proper quarantine/dipping would I be able to sleep after trading with someone, hell if I was lucky and received from multiple sources then I would not even be able to point fingers at one person I would have to be mad at EVERYONE that I traded with, possibly making me bitter and never wanting to trade anything ever again.

Other than that this seems like a good idea.

[Nano]

:bump: Anyone interested? I am looking for just about anything that strikes my interest, either a small sps frag, or some more Zoas

I would be super interested in buying some, and would trade later when I've got more stuff to trade with. Right now, I think whatever I have don't even have names because they're the super common ones haha...but I'll try to post up pictures of the ones I do have.

sure post some pics I'm always interested in expanding the collection

[Kit with Cat]

Ok here it is! I also am not too sure how to frag these, so someone might have to give me a quick tutorial. Thanks!

[Nano]

:) I have all of those haha. I dont think they are quite ready to be fragged maybe in about 2 months depending on your water conditions you should be able to get a few small frags off, I get about 10 heads a month on my colony pictured above, but the rest grow a bit slower

[troni]

10 heads never reliezed they grow that fast.
post in edmonton frag swap

I have Troni ;)
This is my Zoa trading Thread though So I will post here as well

[badfish!]

+1 I've got some nuclear greens and the colony has more than doubled, but I got some candy apple reds that have only grown one head in the same amount of time.

[Nano]

The way I see it the bigger the mother colony is, the more potential it has to sprout new heads
