Just to alleviate some people's concerns, here are the steps Thomas, Tyler and I are taking to help prevent the spread of pests in this and future frag swaps:

1. All corals will be carefully inspected before they are placed in the system. If a dip produces any parasites, they will not be allowed into the system and the seller will be expected to withhold from offering them to other members.
2. Dip (Coral RX) will be provided on site.
3. All racks will be made from black eggcrate, further increasing visibility of the corals.
4. We will separate different types of corals from each other using a "wall" of non-parasite compatible corals from another category, ie, splitting rows of acros from other acros using a couple rows of zoas, or Euphyllias, etc.

While not 100%, we trust that these measures should produce trading and purchasing conditions which are, at the very least, better than any you'd get buying from an LFS or even another reefer.
