[mwm6]

That is very kind of you. Thats what I love about this hobby...everyone is so kind. I will let you know by tomorrow night if I'm not able to make it to swap and will post claims on fragswapper if I see anything.


Thanks again.

Hope the swap went well and everyone got some killer frags. Wish I could have been there but for the 3rd swap in a row I had to work.

This was my first frag swap and it won't be the last one. Nice to be out there pick up some frags and chat with other guys in the hobby.

 

[shimmy_yaz]

Hey supervdl I happened to notice this and had to laugh to myself a bit:

Interests: Reefing, Cichlids, my son and daughter

I love the order of importance there. LMAO

Great Swap guys and thank you to all for chatting and swapping.

On Behalf of NCPARS I want to thank The Pet Zone for their awesome donations, keeping their store open late, and being an all around asset to this hobby! Great work guys!

Also I want to thank Kelly Maers for her outstanding performance yesterday! Great visual aids and a hot topic for all of us. Your presentation brought some new information to our club and from talking with other members they LOVED IT!!!! We would love to have you again!


I will post more after I get some sleep. I just got home about 20 mins ago and have been unloading and dipping corals.

Thanks again for all who participated, helped out, and to all the members and visitors who had joined us for a fun day!

Hey my first swap too, and it was everything I imagined and more, I absolutely had a blast, and one of the best spent afternoons I've done in a while. It was great meeting everyone, and putting faces with names. Its a great feeling to get re-energized about the hobby. I hope by the time the next swap rolls around I'll be ready for more frags. Thanks aging for having the swap in the NE.

It sure was a great time and it sure was nice to have one so close to me. I actually drive right by there every day when I go to work.

It was great to see everyone from the previous swaps again and meet others for the first time in person.

I hope all the frags everyone got from me do well, I would be interested in getting an update.

I can't wait for the next one.

Greg the Hammer is open and looks wonderful. Thank you.

I want to give a special shout out to Brad Kindig our current president and his family for all the hard work, time, and for the passion him and his family has for our club! His willingness to continue with club business and his outrageous raffle ticket purchases are assets to our club community. Thank you Brad and Family!

lol one of the many highlights of the evening as his son sits in the corner and collects all the booty!!!

My fiancee and i had a good time to as we manged to pack our cooler with frags that weve been meaning to collect for a long time. It was a great experience and the speaker, Kelly maers did a fantastic job, very informative kelly!!!

Pet zone is pretty much our only reefer friendly pet store in The area and they do a specatular job with keeping a healthy supply of corals, fish snails ect ect...plus samson the shark is always a cool view.

I am the proud owner of PAGE 3! Lets keep the conversation going. I would love to hear your ideas, views, and thoughts on this swap. In addition, I would love to hear all your ideas on the future swaps and functions that we as a club should do!

Will do jcanute! It will be posted in our forum as well as in the REEFNEST forum!

I am glad that you all had a great time! It was nice to see some new faces as well as those of us that just will not go away!

IMO A great Swap all around!

I want to welcome all the newly elected Board of Directors, we will work together and make new ideas and views come to life. Also to the Outgoing Board, THANK YOU for your time, hard work, and perseverance as I know how much time, effort, and knowledge you have given our club and I hope that you will be as helpful in the future as you have been in the past. I know that it hasn't been the smoothest road but it was one of growing pains, learning, but also very productive.

Happy Reefing to all and to all a GREAT DAY!

First of all, nice job NCPARS for putting this together. I was able to get some really nice stuff for reasonable prices. I also met a few new people, which is alway great in this hobby. If I HAD to complain about something, it would be when you ran out of paper plates for the food. I had to eat some ziti from a cup. Other than that, great swap.

Greg, thanks for your great frags! The green hammer looks awesome and the polyps on that monti are super blue/purple. Looking forward to out future tort trade! Here's a pic of the hammer in my tank from this morning. It's not fully open, but the color is awesome!

 

[GL]

Sweet ..... Looks great. If you get a chance post a pic of the monti, I would like to see it under other lighting than I have.

I'm looking forward to doing some trading as well!

Greg, it just so happens, that the Zoo's I got from you are the only ones that I can get a half decent pic of... here they are. Still a bad pic, but they are loving the tank. Time to get a new camera.

 

[Polyptician]

Thanks everyone. I had a lot of fun at the swap. It was nice to meet and deal with so many of you.

Ricky, and board members, my one and only suggestion for future swaps, being that I have been to the last two and am not a member, is to move the meeting and/or any elections to before or immediately after the swap. (I think if you asked the majority of attending non-members they would concur)

Thanks again for hosting this.

See you in the fall!

Excellent!!

The should color up even more with in a couple of days, the blue gets nice and the yellow centers will brighten up as well.

They will grow fairly fast so they should cover up that plug in no time.

Hope you like them.

Man Greg!
That Hammer Coral frag I got from you is sweet! I am kicking myself now that I didn't take that single head frag you offered me.
Hope to see those green hammers again in the fall.
Great Zoas also. Thanks.

Cheers

Glad you like them!

I have a bunch of the hammers, any time you want more just let me know. Now the zoas, well if I can keep the blue tang from eating them I'll be ok. After more than a year in the tank it decides to get an appetite for zoas.
