[Pterois2004]

Wow! Looks like great vendor response and participants this year!

Thanks to everyone in our club who's been working since March to make this a great event for everyone!

Heres what I have:


live rock -- 50 pounds with coraline and Xenia growing in it. I also kept adding pods so the rocks are teaming with pods for a mandarin fish to live on.

non-live rock -- 40 pounds
Arag Alive live sand-mixture of fine and ultra fine grain

55 gallon thick glass tank (unknown brand)
ProClear 75 filtration with skimmer
VHO 4 bulb light system (homemade) with 2 actinic and 2 superwhite
2 PFO ballasts
Please contact me in advance if you're interested in the tank or equipment above.

Mushrooms - red and purple

Kenya Trees - one red and one brown large

I look forward to seeing you next Saturday!

awesome, are any of the ones that you put pics up of LPS, I am fairly new to the hobby and am not sure of what all is LPS. I know I want my tank to move with the current of the water. I like to watch the corals move.

 

[bkv1997]

All the corals in the first two pictures are LPS.

My VHOs and rock are sold.

I have an Iwaki 40RXT pump, brand new in the box for $100, but RevReefer has first dibs. He's still thinking it over.

 

[JAANDGC]

I will be there , but with frags only. Wife said she would kick by but!! I'll see you guys and gals there. It figures gas is at almost 3 dollars a gallon.

Hey guys, I didn't leave a feedback card, because I figured I'd write something on here... I had a great time at the Swap... Sat in on Randy's Reef Nutrition lecture and it was very informative... Missed David's fragging demo, I was more disappointed when I saw he had the Dremel out... Man I love power tools... lol But thanks for hosting... Picked up some nice frags for decent prices!!! Now I'll just have to harass RevHtree till he comes off a few of the frags I want...

 

[bkv1997]

Thanks Randy.

Yeah I know you were looking for some of the more rare stuff, so was I. Can't say I blame people though... Heck I wasn't going to cut up any PPEs, or Purple Monster to see peoples face when I tell them the price. HEHE

I would love to trade or buy some of the more rare stuff anytime anyone is interested. I'm trying to increase my selection also.

Nice meeting all you guys again and thanks so much for participating.

Brandon

 

[salt newbie01]

It was good to see you again Randy and the rest of you guys/girls.

I just want to say thanks to all of you who made the trip down to chatt. to support this years swap. I hope everyone had a good time. Hope to see everyone again at the aug meeting.

 

[H@rry]

Great swap folks, we really enjoyed it. Sold quite a few and got some really super frags. We enjoyed seeing people that we met at previous swaps.

Looking forward to the next one.

 

[ct_vol]

Any time I can help support you guys down there, just let me know... As for the high end stuff, yeah there wasn't as much as I would liked to have seen... Was looking to drop some $$$... But I guess I'll put it toward something else now... And how can you beat 2 for $5 zoanthids!!!! lol Nah, I really do like those purple and pinks you got me Brandon... gflat hooked me up with some nice eagle eyes and GPE's... And Angela's milli is far superior to the pic she posted... Probably my favorite milli in my tank right now... So I did pretty darn good all and all... Oh, not to mention winning a $25 gift certificate to Dr. Mac's

 

[bkv1997]

yea you and hawk basically robbed me blind. Hope you guys slept well lastnight.

Na just kidding, I just didn't want to take anything home, so I was letting stuff go pretty cheap at the end.
