RARE TO YOU Frag Swap

I just just joking that I wanted to take the one away from Charles, versus getting one from someone else :D

As for the setosa... that is the one coral we are looking for also... it is such a bright little bugger :)
 
I am going to come just to watch. Someday I will have some stuff people want. : ) (actually to have enough to frag out...I should have a frag tank like Norm..oh well)
 
The Setosa Sure is a bright Bugger here is mine i just got from Eric

I had thought it was only open to participants ? to avoid confusion, etc and because the meeting area was more suited for a smaller crowd. Unless I missed something ? Not that we don't wantcha there Arnold :D, Just that those rules were established back at the beginning :). Charles is the big dog here though, I am merely reading the rules off of the first page. Charles has the final say, but I would hate to open the flood gates to dozens of non participating reefers for what I hoped would be a nice quick, and quiet event :). Meet and greet, swap and carry on :D

Tom's right. We're keeping this small and only expect to see participants at the event.

But I did ask Arnold to come help by taking pictures. ;)

well, count on my wife being there, as most of you know she does most of the coral selecting in our family anyways :). That is why we have a family membership with BAR and at the club swaps she insists on her own swap turn (and brings her own frags for it too). But we will be together "as one" for this swap :)
 
Well I was just wondering because the vast majority of SO's (Tom's being an exception) start to get this extremely bored and irritated look on their face after about 45 minutes, just was looking out for those who were going to feel the wrath of that when they got home.
 
WE"RE DONE!

The list of participants is now closed.

Here is the final list of corals...

More to come...
 
THE NEXT PHASE

Some thoughts about what is next...

1. Please frag your corals now/soon so they have as much time as possible to heal.

2. If you have not already done so, please post what you are bringing for your third on this thread. I will aggregate from this thread and the companion and post a list here for all to see.

3. I want to STRONGLY encourage trades at this swap. If you have suggestions for what I can do to encourage, please LMK. In the meanwhile, feel free to use the companion thread to start setting up your trades. Your free to post wants and haves, I only ask that you only use that thread to set up trades with others at the swap.

4. Think about lunch! I am planning to pick up lunch for those that are interested. It will be < $10 and details will follow for those that are interested. LMK by posting to this thread if you want me to get lunch for you and for how many of you there are. If you have special dietary considerations feel free to PM me.

Also, LMK if you need directions or address.

upcoming updates...

Last time we went to Atlantis and Aquatic Gallery (2 separate weekends) my wife spent more than I did *sigh* :)... Oh, and I think we tied up at Your Reef (or maybe I came out ahead because of some LEs, I don't remember now :))


For our 3rd coral, put us down for poker star monti :)

and directions/parking info would be most appreciated :)


EDIT : I do still get into trouble for gabbing too long at the LFS, swaps and people houses :). She likes to chat too, but once she has frags in hand she is pretty focused on getting home to get them acclimated, dipped and placed in our tank :D
 
If there is a specific acan or micro that we posted a (likely badly taken) picture of that anyone would prefer to see on the table than the poker star, just say so and we can frag and being it instead. We have been target feeding them almost daily, so they are doing quite well (and hopefully making more little babies soon :)).
 
I'll be bringing the LE Skyblue Milli as the 3rd coral. I would need the info for directions/parking as well.
 
haven't checked in a quick sec and we're already done! :)

okay, i'm going to frag out the 2 fire engines pretty soon but trying to decide what to bring for my second.. (sorry, not much fraggable right now thats lps.. softy-wise i have some cool two color blue/green cloves that i think are pretty rare if anyone is interested.. haven't seen in any online sites.. as well as some midas gold zoas (hot thing on zoaid for a bit) and all blue snowflake mini-cloves that are pretty cool.. also willing to trade.. )

i was originally thinking le flower petal as its been growing out well for me, but see its already there.. so maybe i'll try shifting le's from tyree to franks's with a tco le chameleon fire monti.. pretty cool colored encrusting monti (seems like encrusting are all the rage for montis right now.. though not exactly sure why).. so its going to be chameleon fire monti unless one of the softies above catches anyone's interest?

i'm sure mr. ugly can give some more details on the chameleon fire monti.. :D

How about that green with bluish(?) center micro?

Fewer micros than Pokerstar around the area I think.

At least in my tank :)

Maybe set up a mailing list or email group for people to post trades, otherwise everybody will get PM'd to death with WTB/WTT requests from Bay Area and everywhere else.

Could post the available frags on here if you like, but let the frag owners self identify if they really want to entertain all the trades outside of the ones for the event.
