All right! Let's do this! I also need a couple of quotes on the house. :mrgreen:

alrighty...maybe i can hitch a ride with wheelman:wink: im gonna send you a pm several days before the frag swap.

Fo shure!

Man, I wish Calgary still did frag swaps. In the meantime I am just going to enjoy vicariously through you guys.

I think your water is broken. Stop testing, enjoy the tank :)

We'll talk

Road trip!

Hey,

I can give you a ride.

If I go I'll bring my camera..... Phone

You may be on to something there! I will start filing the application papers with my significant other and see what happens.

I have a spare room with a Queen-sized bed with Kien's name on it ....
I'm minutes away from Rich's
Actually, I have 2 spare beds if anyone needs somewhere to sleep, but no bringing your pet pigs

Ummmm...... Say WHUT?!?!

Just bed size, not Kien poke

LMAO!!!!
Ok date is now set. Now I know which week the kids will not be eating cuz "daddy spent all the money on corals!!"

I've never been to Rich's house, anyone from Vancouver going who needs a ride? Better to be lost with someone than alone yeah?

I would like to make it, but can't say for sure at this time. It is the Sept long weekend, and we are often at our cabin then. But we'll see... If the weather is crappy, might be home instead.

During the summer, my tanks are mostly on auto pilot, but if/when I get a chance, have some corals that are ready for fragging. And always looking for some new ones...

Love to see you Walter. I don't usually wish for bad weather but in this case I'll make an exception. :wink:

Haven't been to a frag swap before, so pardon this stupid question. But when people bring frags, should they be mounted on plugs, or is it OK, just to snip off a branch (SPS) and all in separate bags? I can post/bring pics of the mother colonies.

Which ever colony you would like to sell, it would be better if you post it on this thread and see if there is any interest. No point cutting when there is no interest.

Yeah, would certainly post them here first. But wasn't sure if people preferred the frags on plugs. Myself, I now just break off any SPS that comes on a plug before dipping to help ensure no bugs or eggs.

I am going to have to do some fragging anyway, as I have some corals encroaching on each other, and some are cutting out light for others.

Hey bblinks, thanks for hosting this. I've been waiting for this so long man!
I will sponsor all the refreshment ( water & soft drinks ) if needed.

Awesome dude! This is gonna be great swap!

Great news guys, we have secured a few sponsors for this event already!!! I will announce it as the day gets closer but I will say this, some of us will be going home with great prizes. I think the big winner was Anthony last year but you need to make it out for a chance to win!

We need some more pictures guys.....lets get those camera's out and see what you got for sale or trade.


Tank shot, fresh cut frags are available for sale or trade. I am looking for unique sps, lps frags (acans would be cool) to trade.

Rich,

Do you want me to bring one of my Weber Q portable bbqs? I have a Q100 (small) and two Q300s (lg).

If needed, I can do some of the bbqing during the event.

Anthony

Oh hot dayum rich! Your tank is mighty sexy!

setosa frags from $40 and up

Ah, I find ai sols 40 optics is like a cannon! I swapped all my 40s to 70s opics .

~Tony

I need to buy 12 sets of those 70s.....maybe I'll just raise them higher and get rid of the canopy.

Hey Rich, can't remember the optic arrangement that you put in the 2 sols that I put on my 90 G but they're working well for me, mid day @ 4pm 80%, going to try and bring zoe frags.

Is it OK for a new kid on the block to stop by? Been in the hobby for years but just got back into the salt game. Looking for easy zoas, mushrooms, LPS, softies and of course to share experiences. Unfortunately I don't have frags to trade yet but willing to bring cash. Hope that's alright?

Brian

Of course it's ok , come on by.

If I am anywhere near when this is going down I am so in
