As many of you already know our annual swap is this weekend and I wanted to create a thread that contained all the info you will need to know about the swap. This is a member swap and to be qualified to enter you must have come to at least one meeting in the past year. We encourage new members to come as well and meet everyone and they can also participate in the raffle.

1.Location and Time

Where:

John's (Woodnaquanut) house.
3338 Cypress Way
Santa Rosa

When:

Saturday, January 4th
12pm till the swap is over.

***As usual this is a potluck, so if you can contribute that would be great***

2.Corals for the swap

To enter the swap each member needs to pay the $20 entrance fee and 3(or more if your feeling generous;) ) qualifying frags.
If you have never been to a swap before please read this thread concerning the rules
http://reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2355601

Please label your containers with
RC handle
Coral name and type(sps/zoa/lps)
Lighting(led/t5/metal halide)
difficulty to grow(begginger/intermediate/expert) or whatever tag you feel it warrants

Also, please be mindful when picking coral, and try to pick coral will grow and thrive in your aquarium and if you are unsure please ask.

The club will be donating over 40 chalice frags as well!

We've had some members asking if they can pick for a person that can't attend and after talking it over with the BOD we would like to discourage this.

3.Raffle

Like all of our raffles $20 will get you 5 tickets and the raffle will be conducted at the end of the swap. Here is a list of our prizes:
1. 2 buckets of Red Sea Coral Pro salt
2. Salifert KH/Alk test
3. Salifert CA test
4. Aptasia X
5. BRS refractometer
6. BRS Carbon
7. BRS GFO
8. BRS Frag tool kit
9. $50 Fish Pros Gift Card
10. Pair of clown fish
11. Sample pack from Reef Nutrition
12. Frag rack from Frag-A-Rack

Each prize will have it's own box in from of it for you to put your tickets in.

4.Free frags and grow out

Every member that has previously been to one meeting (in the past year) is eligible for the free holiday frags. This has been created by BOD's in the past as a way to say thank you for supporting the club. Yes, the grow out is not mandatory but rather a friendly competition that cost $5 to join.

***If there are extra frags of the Candy apply reds. Individuals who are new to the club (meaning this will be their first meet) WILL be able to get a frag. $10 for the frag and $5 for the grow out competition***

With all of this talk about frags I'm scared people are just going to show up with frags and forget any snacks, drinks, or food..... :lolspin:
 
Woohoo! Excited to see everyone again. I have missed 2-3 meet ups this past year due to family changes (daughter born, moving to Berkeley, new work in SF)...

Looking forward to see everyone again.

Of my remaining corals, plan to bring multiple frags of miyagi tort, red digitata, Ked Red Zoas, blowpop Zoas.

That's all that has stayed large enough to give back.
 
ALSO, remember, always dip your corals when you take them home!

Sometimes even the givers may not know what pests they have.

Bayer's advanced pest treatment is one way (especially for SPS red bugs treatment). Also use other treatment dips for other pests like AEFW and nudibranches.

CoralRX and Revive are some you can use. I have heard others use iodine and hydrogen peroxide and others.
 
I am thinking I might stop by fish pros and get their 3 for $20 deal so I can join the swap I'm seeing some very good frags I'm interested in :) I'll bring something for the food also maybe some chips and drinks.
 
I'll be bringing a bunch of stuff to the meet. I still have to think of something delicious to bring. The weather seems like it will be nice for us, but still cool for the frags.

I'm with Ron, I've missed the last 2 meets so I am really looking forward to seeing everyone and talking some reef.
 
I can't make it but would really like to participate in the grow out comp. I spoke with lokii who lives next to me and agreed to pick one up if there's a extra and I'll grab it from him sat night if that's ok with the club? Or I could always pick it up from johns house about 6-6:30 if john doesn't mind.

I feel like a kid waiting for the candy shop to open. Super excited about the meet tomorrow even though I don't know what kind of food I'm bringing.
 
I'm a BAR BOD member and thinking about driving up tomorrow for your swap, but not swapping (I haven't been to a meeting this year). Are you expecting to have any extra CAR frags? I would love to talk to the Rapid LED guys and hang out.
