Frag Swap.

Thank you for a really great time and great frags. It was great reconnecting with old friends and meeting new ones.

See you at the tank tour!
 
Thanks to Pam for opening up her place and Karl for setting it up.

Gonna need some help with some of these...

Whoever brought this, mind telling me what it is? It was in a plastic bag labeled aquacultured acro. No name or anything and was already starting to recede in the bag; hope it pulls through.

Blue CA torts, not sure from whom since there was no info on it other than the common name.

A monti cap. Once again, no idea whom this came from.

Didn't win any thing from the raffle, but I hope whoever took this home took good care of it. I wanted it badly for my pico tank, but wasn't fortunate enough to win it.

Took some shots of chalices from Pam's tank.

This chalice is cool; was a mottled pink/orange. Does this have a name, Pam?

Lastly, thanks to Keith for building me a custom nano sump. :)

Was wonderful, was nice meeting some of you face to face. Pam everything was great, and seemed to run really smooth. We drove 2.5 hours to get there and will never regret it.
And it seems like from the size of your property we could have had a lot more people and still been very comfortable.
I came home with some really nice pieces, and with a lot of luck and some work I will hopefully have some pieces to share in the near future.
Events like this are a huge boon on us up north, we are very limited on our selections of corals, and a lot of us are still learning, so being able to bring these wonderful pieces back will help us grow up here.
 
Wow! that sump is nice enough to put on display!!:eek:


Ya, that green scolymia was sweet! The lps selection on the raffle was superb and all in exceptional health, best Ive seen in a public venue in a long time. I saw the proud owner after she won and am confident it will be pampered and well taken care of ;)

It was my first frag swap and it sure looked like a great turnout to me. I sold a lot of raffle tickets. I left at 3:30 and there was still tables full of frags. Congratulations to all the raffle winners and thanks to those that donated item to the raffle.

It was great to see so many people attend from all the different clubs.

Great event Pam!

Are you sure about that? I remember watching that Eric Boreman fragging video a while back and when they have the sharp serated edges, it is a Cynaria?

BTW, it was good seeing you Justin, it had been too long!!

The one in the raffle wasnt as spread out and as prominant as a Cynarina lacrymalis, aka meat coral

Pam, thanks so much for opening up your home and property for this event. Lunch was yummy and lots of great people to see and meet. I put most all of my raffle tickets in that bag for that sweet scoly...oh well, win some lose some :D. Thanks to all the contribitors to the raffle, Tim, John @ YR, light guy, Atlantis Aquatic Galleries for gift certificates, and Keith for the awesome frag tank. A great event :D.
 
Adding to the Thanks Pam and Alan for letting us invade your home again!

Took home some nice frags and names of new friends.
Awesome.
Chris
 
A big thank you to all of you who made this happen. It was my first Frag Swap and I had a great time. Meeting people, sharing in aquatic experiences, and picking up some really nice frags that so many of you brought. Looking forward to next years already!

Thanks to everyone that made this swap possible (the list is very long), and to those that donated so much,(corals, time, raffel prizes, etc. etc.)


BTW,I am the lucky one... Here is this baby in it's new home:

I just wanted to say Thank you to Pam for hosting this great event.

Food was great and everything went very smoothly.

I was lucky enough to get lucky twice in the raffle and took home a great looking clam and a huge hydnophora that is the brightest green imaginable. (I am sure I will be bringing frags of it to future swaps).

We should do stuff like this more often.
