Don't need one.

So I guess you were just bragging that you have some nice stuff then?

 

[Crit21]

Hey, Russ. No RB after 1 1/2 weeks! I'm checking closely every day.

Great news. So Im assuming you already did your second treatment?

 

[Crit21]

No. Between doing the isolated treatment on the two rocks, and the second on the whole tank for the few remaining, I'm wondering if another is necessary. What do you think?

 

[Deuce67]

I done a single treatment before and thought that I got them all. A few months later they did reappear even if I did not add any corals during that time frame. 2 may do it, but I always do 3. If those little buggers wasnt just so hard to spot you know. All you need is a few to survive to repopulate.

 

[Crit21]

I suppose 1 more won't hurt.

I bet you pods and hermits wouldn't agree. But you are better to act on the safe side and make sure they are gone.

I meet Payl once. I bought a frag of the green polyped toadstool from him. Paul what kind of tank or tanks do you have?

 

[Crit21]

Well, I was a little concerned that my allopyscay ypetay ingysthay (I don't speak Latin, but I do speak pig Latin) would suffer, but they seem ok.
I'll be treating tonight and leaving it in for another 24 hours.

UPDATE*******

After receiving some calls and PMs we have gone back to the drawing board regarding the format of the frag swap. Instead of donating frags to the club, we are going to allow members to sell their frags for profit. For every frag sold, 50% will go to the club. I know it sounds high BUT, there is a cap involved. The maximum payout to the club will be $10...so if you sell something for $50, only $10 will go to the club. If you sell something for $10 then 5 will go to the club.

Something else...you are welcomed to sell equipment, clams, colonies, books, or whatever is reef related and the same percentages and $10 maximum will still apply.

Finally those who bring items for sell or trade will have first option to pick what they want. If a trade is made, say coral for coral, each participant of the trade will pay $5 ea for a total of $10.

This has been discussed at great length among many of the members and all agree this is a very fair way to do this. The idea is for everyone and the club to benefit, not for one individual to benefit. I hope this seems fair to all...if not please feel free to PM me regarding this.

In closing, if you bring things with you to trade or sell, make sure you leave with the leftovers. Please do not leave your things at Paul's house, and make sure you show our host the courtesy he deserves.

Thank you.

BTW, I look forward to seeing everyone there and please drop a line in this thread to give us an idea of what you may be bringing or looking for.

 

[racer69]

This sounds very fair to me. I will list some of my stuff later. Now lets all start fragging.

 

[Crit21]

I was thinking it could be a problem to trade very low-dollar (e.g., $2) frags for the cumulative $10. I guess the best solution would be to actually sell the frags to each other (vice trade) for $2, then donate half of the money?

 

[Crit21]

BTW, Russ, I dosed the tank again today. I figure whatever crabs didn't die last time should survive this time.

 

[COreefer]

If you sell a $2 frag...then all you give to the club is a buck. The $10 cap applies if you sell something greater than $20.

 

[Crit21]

I'd love to get some of that orange monti cap.

I have a good size orange/yellow scroll. Is anyone interested in a piece or all of it?

Neon green polyp birdsnest
Pink birdsnest with purple polyps and green hues
Tri color acro

Depending on what has been requested, a 4th pack may be available. PM me here or email me at Voltdude@aol.com for a pack request. Thanks!

 

[Crit21]

Russ,
I don't have that much room. What about a frag of the orange monti cap and one of the pink stylo?

 

[Deuce67]

No individual frags at this time. I will sell individual frags early next year.
