TBRC Spring Trim and Trade - April 12th - 2pm – Lutz

[WarDaddy]

On Saturday April 12th at 2pm in Lutz the Tampa Bay Reef Club will hold its first Annual Spring Trim and Trade event. After a long winter of focusing on our tanks while the harsh winter weather rages on outdoors we will be hosting an event to help cut back those over grown colonies and find something to fill that blank space in your tank.

The April meeting of Tampa Bay Reef Club will be expanded to a Frag Swap and reef related swap meet. The swap will be open to members and non-members alike. If you have anything tank related bring it on out and sell/trade/swap or give it away to your fellow reefers.

Frag Swap:
SPS, LPS, Softies, Snails, Crabs, Fish, Algae bring it out
Bring a tank, light and powerhead and display those beauties like they deserve, or just bag them. If you trim them they will sell.

Equipment Swap:
Skimmers, Tanks, Pumps, Powerheads, Bulbs, Reflectors, Heaters, Chillers, Fans, plumbing; if you have it someone wants it

Bring a table, or share some space on one. We will have several available.

Guest Speaker:
We will also have Chris Guntner from ReeFlo Pumps speaking to us about proper flow in reef tanks and how to size pumps for your tank.

Raffle:
We will also be hosting a raffle at this event. Currently we have donations from ReeFlo, Tunze, Hamilton, Two Little Fishies, and Sunlight Supply. We are working to bring in even more items from other manufactures for you guys to have a chance to win and try out.

Good Eats and Good Friends:
We will have some BBQ going (BBQ is on us, bring a side dish or dessert) con on and enjoy an afternoon of fish talk and frag swaps with your reefing friends. Please let us know if you are going to attend so we can have enough meat on the grill.

Sounds like a great time! I'm bummed 'cause I'm gonna miss it due to plans me and the Mrs already have... But I'll be sure to pass this along to the ORCA folks.

Have fun!

Looking foward to it

How much would it cost for a non member to bring frags to sell or swap? and would a percentage go to the club? If so, how much? I'll try to come down to check it out, but I wouldn't mind bringing a couple frags for trade.....or sell to buy another.

 

[WarDaddy]

There is no cost to Buy or Sell. The only revenue the club may generate is off Raffle Tickets and T-shirts (buy 20 tix and you get a t-shirt)

We will be providing BBQ (chicken, hamburger, hot dogs) and Sodas for everyone (planning on 100 people, so RSVP so we have enough).

The idea is to bring the community together and provide a forum or the free exchange of ideas, frags and unused equipment. We will be doing this yearly, every MAY starting next year, April is bad with spring break.

See you guys there!

I'll talk to my lady tonight and see if I'm allowed to come down and play! I'll RSVP on your club forum if we can attend!
