[Misled]

you know of a good supplier in the area?

The guy, (David), that owns this place is my go to guy. We also tend to do a lot of online stuff.

 

[Pittsburgh]

I would like to possibly attend at some point. Not sure if I'm going to make it this time as I have a business trip coming up.

 

[acer]

OK Pittsburgh, I will add you to the list- can we get your real name and the basic area you live in please?

All those individuals that do not have an IN/Out in front of their name have not posted or contacted regarding if they are coming or not. Please do so - that way Kevin can figure out how many people are coming.

 

[Misled]

I have a couple RBTA's on the glass that should be easy pickins. If anyone coming wants one, for free, let me know.

 

[kevinl]

Hey Ted, u can change #16 Pittsburgh to IN, he contacted me a few days ago for my address & said he can probably make it now.
I PM'ed everyone my address with an IN by their name, if I missed anyone please let me know.

 

[acer]

OK very good - so far we have 5 people then. I ended up NOT going to the C-sea frag swap yesterday due to circumstances beyond my control. Had planned on picking up some cheaper frags to give away ( have a drawing - put you name int he hat type thing) ) at our/Kevin's "get together" as well as few for myself.

Looking forward to seeing that tank Kevin.

 

[Pittsburgh]

Yeah, looks like I'll be able to make it. Kevin's place is also an easy drive from my house. Looking forward to meeting you guys.

Jesse, just some three years ago I'd be all over the offer! Have to pass now... I can't seem to keep any BTAs in my ULN tank anymore...

I have some really nice frogspawn heads available if anyone's interested. Also looking to expand my SPS acro collection if anyone here has extra frags. Still recovering from a crash a year ago but should be back to fraging in a couple of months.

 

[Brooks87]

I am outta town.

Pittsburgh, I'll have some sps & lps. u have interest in Red Dragon, Strawberry shortcake, Jason Fox Cooler Champaign, or possible pcs of Jason Fox Jack-O-Lantren?
I gots sunset monti out the wazu, also have some Duncans & more.
Some pcs are fragged and encrusted & some can be fresh cut if interested.
Looking forward to Sunday!!
I sold off a 12 head frogspawn a month ago and still have 2 more colonys
Oh ya, Fire & Ice War Coral & Orange Satosa Monti available.

 

[Pittsburgh]

Am I interested in Red Dragon? LOL... I've been looking for one locally for months now!

Already have two flavors of strawberry shortcake... But I'm up for any Jason Fox acro

I have a really nice Miyagi Tort colony and a bigger colony of this acro I'm still trying to ID... Let me know if you want me to bring some for you.


Also, meteor shower is growing like a weed all over LR.

I have other higher end acro stuff, but they are still all small frags... it'll take a few months before I can start fragging them.

Kevin, you didn't sell your frogspawn to the reef store in Zelionople by any chance? I saw a ton of frags there for sale about three weeks ago.

 

[Pittsburgh]

Host for Oct 18th @ 4 pm "get together" is KevinL in Saxonburg ( PM for address)

I'm in for the 18th @ 5pm.

Wait... so what time on the 18th???

 

[acer]

Sorry I typo'ed- the correct time is 5 PM on the 18th - not 4 pm.

Kevin- I am interested in the Red Dragon as well. Really trying to find some type of Blue tort or other blue SPS - obviously the "Jason fox champagne" would be awesome. I never got a PM on your address. Let me know costs on a frag of the Red Dragon and the Jason Fox so I have cash with me.

That may have been my frogspawn and such. I took down one of my tanks and am going to concentrate on just my seahorse tank. Everything that wasn't seahorse safe I took to Adam at Reef Gallery and traded for gorgonians and other safe corals.

That makes sense...
I was shocked to see what they go for these days after they were put on the endangered species list a year ago followed by limited imports... LiveAquaria sells a 4'' frag for $99-$159 depending on the type... I have probably a 30-40 heads colony and I'd trade them for some nice acros all day long.

I did not know what they go for either and did not see how much they were at Reef Gallery. I was just glad to get credit for them.
