Frag Swap?
 

I was thinking of hosting a Frag Swap at my place on Sunday December 12.. a couple of hours in the afternoon. IF there is any interest.

I went to the one about a month ago with Lori.. and it was a blast and an awesome venue to swap some frags, or buy some nice local corals reasonably priced.

If there is interest, i could set up a bin of heated water to float the bags in.. and furnish some munchies.


If there is interest what I would do is open a thread for people to post pics of what they are bringing ( doesnt need to be the frag but could be of the mother colony) cause as we all know.. corals arent happy in their bags. The pictures would be tagged by the users name and then numbered.. IE Shelley #6.. and then the bag the coral is placed in numbered the same.

I would have a laptop opened to the thread so anyone could look at the pictures..

Lemme know.. if were going to do this we need to get some frags started!!

This would be held at my place.. downtown Victoria..

I'd come by for sure. Might even have some frags....

I had one at my place last month, we did a blind swap where people brought frags and dropped them in one of my tanks to float, at the end of the night we all grabbed something we didn't bring:) I also handed out numbers and gad s draw at the end of the night where the winner walked out with a large pipecoral:) good way to meet other reefers:) cheers

You know I'm in.

I would love to come but as it sits right now I am working that day. Could I come down a day early and scoop up all the nice stuff before Christy does?

If you come down a day early your going to spend the day with me cleaning house and mucking tanks so everything is presentable:smile: you may want to rethink that

but would that get someone the "good stuff"?? :)

And they call me a coral ho!

LOL, I'm not sure if I'll be making this one, all depends on the timing I suppose. I'll bring a tarp just in case :razz:

Bwahahahahahha!!

We'd love to have you, mark Dec 14 in your calendar!!

LOL omg a tarp...well on TV they always boil lots of water, I have a pot and lots of RO/DI always made up. Oh and two boxes of gloves. So I guess were ready!

What a way to introduce lil Jr. To reefing.

Dec 14th eh? Are you trying to tell me something Brad? She clearly has indicated that the frag swap is Dec 12th :confused:

:razz:

huh?? I have no idea what you're talking about....see ya on the Tuesday :)

Awesome!! It's going to be fun. How many of you have already started frags? I made some blue palys today, some wicked orange digi with bright green tips, a couple of meteor shower cyphastrea, some yellow with purple polyp montis, sunset montis, candlelight acros, more rics, and I'm out of frag plugs lol

i will have some milli, acro, birdsnest, probably a zoa frag, and some branching montipora. i guess we should start putting us photos so we can see what we all need to cut.

By all means.. Get cutting!:mrgreen:

I might be interested in making a day trip over.

Bring presents to appease the island gods.....

Obviously I can't make it but I am interested in what you have that monti growing on. What are your plans there?

If you're coming over, I'm interested in lots!

When I moved the tank this summer a few little pieces broke off of the colonies. I didn't want to loose them so I glued them on my overflows. Now I have overflows with those, superman and rainbow monties.

So its only about a month away! Could I get an idea on who's coming? If there is enough interest we may have a sponsor or two show up and maybe even some demos on some new equipment..:mrgreen:
