coral swap

huh, I don't have corals to swap. I had few awesome looking frags that I bought from Neptune Aquatics that I killed while playing around with my calcium reactor "dkh=14" . Very sad. It is possible that I may have some Aiptasia in one of my old tanks. Any one want to swap?

Although I Don't have any corals to swap it will be fun to come and see though. I will come. Can I pay at the entrance?

BTW why are some corals not allowed for swapping? luckily I didn't see my aiptasia on that list.
 
The corals in this picture grow like weeds. Most people don't want them.

Once you put them in your tank you'll see why most people don't want them as they overgrow/infest your tank.

I think itll be fun for you if you came.

The event is free for people who just want to watch. If you want to do the raffles and swap frags you gotta pay the 15 or 20$.

There will be two awesome coral vendors there to sell frag packs if you want to swap :)
 
will be there

will be there

sounds like fun. I will be there. Thanks for explaining about the reason for some corals being banned.:thumbsup:
 
GSP is one of my favorite corals. If someone can bring some frags, I'll trade you a late-round pick for it! (Or just keep me in mind the next time you trim!)

ONCE A YEAR EVENT, happening this Saturday. Don't miss out!
 
I haven't been to a swap in a couple years, but the vendors and nice raffle prizes were a nice surprise. I'm not sure about others, but I though it was great to have the vendor booths available. Swapping frags is always fun, but I got to spend a little extra cash on some of their goodies too.
