Frag/Equipment Swap Saturday June 23
 

When: Saturday June 23rd 2:00 PM

Where: BBlinks House - Lougheed Mall area of Coquitlam

Bring: Appropriately bagged frags (Ziplocks can leak), Hardware labelled with your name and asking price, Insulated coolers for your purchases/wares. If you are there only to buy -- bring cash.

Rich has graciously offered his house, so we will take him up on his offer. The poll indicates the Saturday is slightly favoured over Sunday and 2:00 allows people to bag their frags in the morning and allows us to go into the late afternoon if this does end up as a Pot-Luck/BBQ

Coquitlam is as easily accessible as any location as we have almost equal numbers of people coming from the East as the West. Everyone has made the trip to J&L before, so most people are familiar how to get to the general area.

To avoid the feeding frenzy that has happened at other frag swaps, post pictures in this thread of the colonies/actual frags or PM them to me. Other information supplied should be price, number of frags available and number of polyps for zoas, mouths/heads for LPS and size in inches for softies/SPS.

Pictures will allow people to see the actual colours of zoas that are closed up. Look for a similar picture online if you don't have a good camera.

You are free to set up sales/trades before the swap. All sales are between individuals and we are not taking a percentage although I am sure Rich will not turn down any donated frags for acting as the host.

We will try to have some sort of slide show at the swap to see what is currently available. Slides of larger items (such as tanks) mean you don't have to haul them out of you car.

Name tags will allow you to find the the seller. Frags can stay in coolers and won't have to be laid out tables where they will get cold and be manhandled. You can find the seller of the frags you are looking for by talking to people rather than pouncing on every person carrying something through the door.

Frag Swap
 

I'm in!!

Too many frags again. So I'll be selling or swaping and probably buying too! :mrgreen:

None of my stuff is big enough to frag :cry:

Could be looking for a large 120g+ 48" tank if somebody happens to have one laying around their garage.....

How are your red bugs coming along. Have you used interceptor yet.

I think I'll have a few frags ready to go, and prob a couple maxi-mini anemones.

Yeah, I doesed my tanks back in January, everything is awesome and growing like crazy!

I was just there recently for a few frags and the tanks are looking better then ever.

LIES! I tell ya they're LIES! They looked horrible!!! :twised:

Although they look MUCH BETTER in my tank. Haha! :wink:

Kelly, save me a piece of the monti that I've been waiting so patiently for.

How much do you think this bad boy will fetch at the Frag Swap???

Haha!!!

One of the tips broke off of a Green Slimer I just picked up, so I thought I'd watch to see if it'll grow. It's about 1/4" in size.

I have some equipment for sell and maybe some frags, so count me in.

I'll come as a buyer, and JL will probably be happy we're doing it so close, I'll be going there before/after I'm sure :P

ken, I'll give you a dime for that piece....

I will try to attend. I have two huge bbq parties in June (Felicia's 4th and Isabella's 1st birthday parties) otherwise I would have volunteered to host. I will see what frags I can have ready for the swap meet. Thanks Doug for organizing this and thanks Rich for stepping up and hosting.

Wow ken... now that's a frag :)

I don't think I will have anything for trade, but I will definitely stop by and check it out as a buyer since my tank is a little green and things are still growing.

HAHAHAHA! I must say that's a nice job on the frag attachment! I like how its perfectly centered and not a extra drip of glue. Such a beautiful crafsmanship. :mrgreen:

The blue one in the front was probably half the size of that one, if not less. I glued it to a plug to see what would happen a couple of months ago.

Can you add me to the list as a buyer and seller. Nice pic by the way Mandosh.

im in

I should have two or three pieces of zoes and palys to trade, nothing stunning but someone may want. Pictures when we get closer to the date.

ORA Red Planet Frags
 

I'm not sure if I can make it out to the Frag Swap as I am just getting back from LA the night before and may head out to Oregon for another short trip.

So I am offering up some ORA Red Planet Frags now. I picked up a large colony for an undisclosed amount. I was planning on keeping the whole thing, but decided on sharing part of it with my fellow Canreefers in light of the rarity of a Lower Mainland Frag Swap. It was 8"x12" in size, I am keeping half of it. They will be available for sale now, so you don't have to wait until then. Anything not sold by then will still be available at Rich's. I will also be posting this in the Buy/Sell Section.

This is part of the colony that I am keeping
