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

Animal-Chin 01-29-2015 10:17 PM

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 01-29-2015 10:29 PM

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 01-29-2015 10:46 PM

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

Ginu 01-30-2015 12:58 AM

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.

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 ;)

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

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 01-30-2015 08:10 AM

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

Tn23 02-05-2015 07:35 PM

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 02-07-2015 07:17 PM

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 02-07-2015 07:37 PM

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

duncangweller 02-07-2015 09:55 PM

jason604 02-08-2015 04:23 AM

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

RMC 02-08-2015 05:04 AM

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:

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.
