Frag Demo follow up thread

Frick

AZ FRAG President
To start I have to say.....DANG! You guys rock. And then we cut up some rocks. LOL I am just amazed at the turn out today. I want to thank you all for showing up and participating in the fragging demonstration. We had twice as many people as intended, so i hope everyone at least got something they wanted. That also explains why it was so hot in there today. The A/C was on but it could not handle our hotness. :bounce2::bounce2::bounce2:

I want to give a huge Thank You to Jorell and Reef Monsters for presenting us with an awesome fragging demonstration. There were some cherry corals being handed out today, so if you missed it you really missed a good one. i also want to than Eric for the great job in assisting the demo. Timing was perfect and there were no severed fingers. :dance: Do Reef Monsters a solid and please stop by the shop at 4460 East Main Street #120 in Mesa. If you liked what you saw at the demo then show some LFS love.

I would like to thank our sponsors for the even today as well. Thrive Aquatics and Coral Rx for donating a lot of awesome raffle prizes, and for the plugs for the sea fans we fragged and the Coral Rx dip that help disinfect everything we were fragging.
Eco Tech for the really cool Cg Coral Glue bottle and samples that were used during the demonstration. I hope everyone that hasn't used Cg before got a sample. It will be with no doubt that there will be a large increase of properly mounted frags going around in the near future.
Sharkbait for the frag plugs he donated for the raffle and demonstration. That was a great variety of plugs to use on all the corals we chopped up today. If you would like to get some more locally made plugs and disc, Sharkbait (Nick) is your guy.

I want to thank Perry the manager of Pranksters for letting us do such weird things in an eating establishment for so many years. And our lovely bartender Kelly. I hope you all left a good tip. :) I wanted to mention that at the end there was one small tap that someone forgot to pay. So please make sure you cash out before you leave.

We will see you all next month, same fraggin' time same fraggin' place July 13th for the PROP Auction. :beer:
 
thanls for everything FRAG does and especially you jason! im excited for all the new corals i got today and to try some new corals ive never had before! thanks again!
 
This was the first meeting we were able to make. Picked up some awesome frags, met some new people, a learned a thing or two! Thanks to FRAG, Jorell and Reef Monsters!
 
I had fun, Maybe I will keep my tank.

I didn't take any frags nor get some glue. but won some three tee shirts ( two I gave away ) and the Coral RX dip.
 
Good job everyone! Nice to see how involved the group is for these meetings. I learned a few things yesterday and always good to chat with area enthusiasts. Thanks for the T Shirt Ademster! Jeff
 
Great job Jason (and board). This group is on a fast-track course of success. Nice to make new friends and see old (even if they talk me into buying things that I didn't even know I needed) :lmao:
 
Great meeting! Good turnout yesterday, it was nice meeting some new people. To all of those who got frags from me, if you have any questions or need help PM to let me know. Once again thanks FRAG and Reef Monsters for everything.

Had a great time at the AZ FRAG meeting today. Got to take home some sweet free frags and learn a ton about how to frag corals from Jorell at Reef Monsters. Hope everyone had as great a time as did I.

It was great to see some new faces.


Thanks again to all the sponsors for all their help and donations!


I took some video clips of Jorell's fragging demonstration and grabbed some screen shots from those. Here are some of them:

Thanks Aaron. I wanted to thank you also for being helpful with the mic and getting the sound figured out.

I am very sorry that I missed the event, I was really looking forward to it. We had a sudden death in the family. My uncle who was 77 passed on Saturday morning as did his wife (my aunt) today. If there was anyone that video taped the event, I would love the opportinity to see it.
