Frag Swap Frequency

[mpcart]

Two to Three times a year would be nice. Once is too little.

I would also say 2-3 times a year.

I think 3 times a year max. You've got to give coral time to grow out before you can frag them again...I certainly don't like fragging my zoas down to 2 polyps and SPS people probably wouldn't want to frag their stuff down to nearly nothing either. Three times a year or better yet two times a year would be better, we'd have more to bring then and it wouldn't be such a common occurence, it'd draw more of a crowd.

I like the 3 times a year myself.. The last one was a blast!!!
Can only imagine what the next one will be like!

 

[pewter_jean]

I like 3 times a year also. I also like the ideal of adding equipment to the list.

 

[Koddie Doo]

equip. is a great idea also, oh and beer too

 

[rams]

4 times a year and it doesn't have to be just a frag swap either. Could do other stuff as well.

Come on man, lets just "hug it out"

I like 3 times a year. Let's not over do it yet keep the mix going for the newbies. And yes Koddie Doo we can keep the :beer: flowing.

It has been my experience setting up swaps across the U.S. that 2 a year is best. Here are the reasons...

1. Will not alienate LFS traffic or upset the LFS as competition.

2. Will not saturate the area with frag swaps when there are multiple clubs near by.

3. Allows for other reefers to have the 6 months needed to get frags grown to colony size for new fragging.

4. Allows for group trips to other clubs for their frag swaps which they should visit yours in return.

I'm setting up a new tank, kinda, therefore, I'm thinking of newbies, newbie=Robbie right?

You would go for a hourly beer tasting Robby

If you did one three times a year, the "third" could be more of an equipment swap than a frag swap. It would keep big meetings occuring, but not water down the cool stuff we saw at the last meeting.

I like that idea but Chadfarmer would show everyone up with all his high end equipment

Play nice...I was willing to buy a skimmer, but NO, you HAD to put it on my tank
