I will be going. I am on the Nvr forums. Same name.

 

[cbrennan4]

I'll be there!

 

[Dragonvale]

I'm going too! Colin is Ron joining in on the fun?

 

[cbrennan4]

I don't think he is. I think he has a family event that day.

 

[Dragonvale]

Colin, just saw that pink hallucination thread. Those look pretty sweet. Hope they just don't loose their color.

 

[cbrennan4]

Not sure what thread your talking about. But, if you want it one, I picked up my frag from Neptunes with 4p for $20. I feel really bad for the people who paid 80pp for them

I saw the expensive thread. I thought Neptunes had the JF bloodshot look alikes?

 

[cbrennan4]

Oh, ok. Mine's up to 8p now and I'll bring you one soon. They seem to grow really fast. I also got the bloodshot look alike too. I bought 2p and they grow slow. in about 3 months it's only up to 6p. It's honestly one of my favorites in my tank though.

As a group are we able to buy the $100 for 150 raffle tickets?

Would you guys be interested in doing this?

 

[cbrennan4]

Crap! That's a great idea. I actually bought $40 worht when I signed up

Trust me, if your a zoa/paly collector this is where you want to be. Actually they have everything but there are alot of zoa/paly collectors there

I'm down if no one else wants to jump in. $50 for 75 tickets works for me


Anyone going up there by themselves? I can drive as long as you can kick in for some gas. Or meet up at an area up there? I have a smaller SUV (dodge nitro) so if you have coolers I can clear the back. Let me know.

When I first started my reef tank I oogled at the coral from exotic frags. Now I see that they are going to be there. I just want to go there to buy stuff, not do the swap. Dragonvale where in norcal you at of o can change the plans around o may be interested in hitching a ride

 

[Dragonvale]

In SR. Since its 2 hours away anything can change from now and then. Im pretty sure ruling out my fiance is 95% unless she wants to see here Best friend in Tracy. One thing for me that I might want to do is head to neptunes after but thats a 25% chance. For me, I love talking to other reefers so if your a person that grabs and go I just want to give you a heads up.

For exotic, Jeremy is awesome along with Liz at reefers cove. They have some higher end zoas/palys. Might not be the cheapest but you sure get quality. I think I blew easily $200! On like 3 or 4 frags. Top of my head for sure is 3g mummy eye (favorite chalice), Blue rhinos and a grafted nuc/death (fell behind the rock work and never seen). I will say with the grafted nuc death babys will NOT be grafted! Atleast the two heads sprouted looked purple. Anyways, if your going to the meeting this sunday we can always talk more and I can get a better feel on my agenda.
