I'll probably be there, mainly to meet everyone and chat a little. My name's Greg by the way. I'm still kind of a newbie round these parts, and look foreward to meeting everyone.

Excellent!

I stopped by Fewells tonight to drop off a few frags and take a pic of what we have so far. Matt suggested that anyone who has frags ready, or can get a few ready early, should go ahead and bring them by so they can be good and acclimated by the time the frag swap rolls around. There is a nice piece of Hydnophora on the other side of the tank that you can't see. Also, I don't think the cool stingray in the bottom of the pic is part of the swap.....Matt would probably sell it though unless he is too attached already :inlove:.

Sorry guys! I can't be there for the swap. I have a Tomato Clown that needs a home. Do you think Matt would be willing to hold it until Dec. 2?

put me down... I don't have any frags yet... I was getting ready to put couple pieces of coral in when one of my lights goes out (thats what I get for buying them used) so I am waiting on some new ones from ebay.... Hopefully they will be here before december 2...

I really only want coral and the stingray in that system. Mabye someone has a holding tank at their house and would hold him for you.

Hopefully I have a few customers that have heard about it and will be joining the club. Some seem very excited to have other hobbyists to talk to.

Well, I got an e-mail from my grandma and Dec. 2nd is her and my grandpa's 62nd wedding anniversary, and she wants us to visit in St. Louis for it. So, I think we are going to do that, so with my luck being the same day as the swap we probably won't be there unless something comes up or changes. I think grandma's have to come first though.

Hi all, my name is Chris and I will be there to buy some frags and to meet everyone. that is if I don't have a tank full from Matt by the time the swap rolls around.

Just a reminder.....

Our Frag Swap is tomorrow (Saturday) at 1:00.

 

[Deadeye]

Had a good time, hope everyone else did. I didn't get anything from the swap but I got 3 frags (zoas, hammer, and leather), 14 lbs of live rock, and a phosban reactor. I did trade a light fixture for rock, so now the 75 gallon is complete just needs to sit for a while. So, hopefully I can grow some stuff and actually have coral at the next swap.

 

[SoupySteve]

I also had a good time. It was nice to see more "newbies" getting into the hobby.

Hey Everybody,

I know this is a couple of days after the party, but thanks for coming! We had a fun time seeing old members again and making a bunch of new reefing friends. Unfortunately, I forgot to take pictures of the gathering although my camera was sitting next to the soda . I think my hands were full of soda and pizza the whole time.

We had a total of 18 people attend; not including Mr Fewell. Hopefully, we will be ready to do this again in 3 or 4 months. Is everyone pleased with their haul?
Here is Julia's favorite that she got (thx Dave):
