3rd Annual Middle Tn Frag Swap

Nope. After this week, it's focus everything on packing, painting, and selling the house... Changing jobs this year means I won't get a vacation at all this year... Isn't moving fun.
 
Okay, so here's the deal on the special raffle. It was almost a pair of lineatus wrasses, but the distributor mysteriously went from 5-7 of them to none in about 2 minutes... Then there were a list of other possibilities that all fell through, so it's retail time... We are getting the Christmas wrasse at Emerald Bay (full grown and has been in captivity for at least a year) and the wild superman monti. These two are costing us as much as the room, so we definitely need to sell some tickets...

Awesome special raffle items!

Gary, geoxman pm'd me and said he will not make it. So there is a table if you need that for someone else.
 
Here's the latest and greatest...

See you all soon.
 
Awsome Frag swap,

I think MTRC put together a smooth flowing event that allowed everyone room to sell, and plenty of room to shop.

From those of us from NTRC, thanks for putting together this event where we can all get together and Sell,trade, and visit with old friends.

Gary, to you and your group the hard work showed, areas that needed addressed from last year were non issues this time. Good job.

Thanks to Aquatic Critter and Emerald Bay for their local support again this year.

Thanks to all the vendors that came or sent gifts.

Thanks to all the out of towners that made the trip, nice to see you all again.

And last but not least THANKS to all that bought frags and or traded with me . I hope you like your new frags and hope they grow like weeds.:D
 
I just wanted to say thanks to MTRC. I had a wonderful time today and got to meet alot of new people.

Great Swap.

This one was better, but there is plenty to learn from (better planning in the morning being the largest area of concern). Having been there now, it will be easier to get a better idea of how to set up next year, if you guys decide to stick with it (need a Goodlettsville resident). I meant to bring a tape measure and get real dims, but forgot it and got wrapped up. There were a number of things that were different than I expected, but I think mkost of it worked out okay. Using the kitchen was a last minute idea (wasn't sure how big it would be and how useable, etc.). I liked the place. I was a bit afraid of power surges, but no problems...

I wanted to send a special thanks to the LFS'. They came through for us on some nice raffle items (AquaPod and the Hydrothruster pump from the Critter and the crocea clam and diploastrea)sp?) were donated by Emerald Bay, who also held the Christmas wrasse and Monti for us). Be sure to thank the staff of either store when you see them. They are a big part of our success as a club.

Also, thanks to Joy with PFO for coming out. I learned alot about the Solaris:). Jenn even liked it and commented on it several times;).

All the volunteers were worth their weight in gold. Thanks for all your hard work. It would not have gone over well yesterday without you.

Be sure to thank all of those who helped sponsor this by donating:). Pure Captive, Air water ice, Drs. Foster and Smith, PFO, the Aquatic Critter, Emerald Bay, Sunlight Supply, Reefer Madness (they dontated some really nice corals for the fragging demonstration), Florida Pets, and all the individuals that donated frags to the door prizes.

Can't wait for next year's:).
 
I thought it was very well run. We enjoyed seeing some of the people we only see at frag swaps. It was also nice to put some faces with RC handles.

Again, thanx for hosting and thanx to the people who bought frags. Hope they all work out well for you.
 
Many thanks for a great swap.
What are the names of the two corals from the frag demo? I have no memory, and I'm now where I can write them down.

Just wanted to say thank you very much for the wonderful pieces you sent
to MTRC, I learned a lot from their demo and brought part of both pieces
home to my tank.
Again, many thanks.

Chris and Kristine are great people to deal with.

I left off one of our sponsors... I messed this one up. Randy Reed from Reed Nutrition sent a box to some of us who ordered from him last minute and threw in some donations. I didn't get into the box until after the main raffles, so we held a mini raffle with whoever was left using drivers licenses as raffle tickets. His products are some that most of your marinf life will enjoy. Thanks Randy and gresham for helping up out with the order and getting it expedited for us. It all worked out great. Hopefully, you can make it out next year:).
 
That was Lisa from SEASL (Saltwater Enthusiasts Association of St. Louis). If you need more information on her berghias, I am sure she is monitoring this thread. If not, PM me.

Let me throw in my thanks for a very fun event! We have a great time.
