So whos going and what are you biringing , I could'nt make last years swap but am this time around :strange:
Here is the info for those who have not seen it
Pre reg end Feb 15th and you will be charged $20 not $15 for entry,
we will be offering our normal 3 frags for $20 for the swap as well if you
dont have anything to swap. Its our choice not you choose corals for your
entry. We will also be supply anywhere from 50-100 frgas as well to load up
the swap. Please remember we ask for 3 frags but that doesnt mean bring just
3, if you can bring more it will allow the swap to last longer and give a
better selection of corals for participants.
RULES
"¢ Corals will be placed on tables with a family of corals (I.E. Zoas, soft
corals, LPS, SPS - sticks, SPS - plates, other)
"¢ You will receive a name tag with a group letter
"¢ letters will be called in this order: A;B:C;E;F;Z;Z;F;E;D;C;B;A;A...
"¢ When your group letter is called, in the first round, you will have a
few minutes to select a coral
"¢ Successive rounds will be shorter and you will be able to grab more
corals.
"¢All containers shall be labeled with the coral type, your name and
internet handle and growing conditions if they are not labeled you will be
required to label them before entry.
"¢ Any corals that are deemed unhealthy or freshly fragged will not qualify
you for the swap, it is against our mission to reward poor propagation
techniques.
Please treat all corals that you pick at the swap as if they are infected
with the worst pests known to man, dip your corals with the povidone provided
for free at the swap (if available) or your favorite coral dip. Not only does
dipping help to prevent pests from making their way into your tank, it can
help to prevent the spread of nuisance algae as well as keeping the instances
of necrosis to a minimum.
Non-Qualifying Corals
these organisms have been deemed too common in the hobby. They will be placed
on a separate table from other corals at the swap. If you only bring
non-qualifying coral that are on this list you will be restricted to only
picking from the common table for the first two rounds.
Green Star Polyp (GSP)
Brown Protopalythoa (sea mat)
Xenia
Anthelia
Encrusting Gorgonian (brown GSP)
Kenya Tree
Colt Coral
Brown Toadstool Leather
Macroalgae (California legal varieties)[/
