To frag or not to frag?

[philagothos]

Hi all,

I plan on attending the frag swap and I've been debating on bringing frags. My 29 is bursting at the seems with coral. Everything is growing into one another. I have 20+ varieties of coral in there and many of them are reaching pretty good size. It's a mixed reef with a bit of everything, but nothing very rare.

I'm not a paid member and it's getting pretty close to the date so I don't know if I would be allowed booth space. Even if I were allowed space I don't really have a setup for displaying frags at a swap. I suppose I could keep the frags in a cooler and show pics on my laptop.

Btw, if I bring frags here's a possible list:
SPS:
Purple millie
Green slimer
Orange cap
Green Cap
Tri-color acro (lokani, i think)
LPS:
Green trumpet
Blue trumpet
Hammer (green w/pink tips)
Softies:
Zoas (a couple different types)
Shrooms (green stripe, hunter orange, blue/purple, fuzzy green, green w/ red spots)
Gorgonia (2 types)
Devil's hand leather
GSP (super bright)

So, what do you think, to frag or not to frag? Opinions of those who would decide whether or not I can get a space, or if I should even bother with a space, especially appreciated.

You don't have to be a paid member to bring frags. Everyone is welcome to bring them. Many people just bring them in bags or small container and sell and trade out of a cooler.

any pics of your zoas and blur trump.?

Thanks coralfarm123, I've never been to a big swap like this, but it sounds like I'm way too small scale to need a space. Clubs I've belonged to in the past would frequently have swaps after the meetings where everyone just brought out their coolers, but they were often very chaotic. I didn't know this would be a similar format, hopefully it will be better organized than my old clubs.

Strat24, I don't have any pics at the moment, but I'll try to get some in the next 24 hrs.

Here's a link some pics I just took. Nothing is fragged yet. The colors are all pretty close. I won't know prices until I have them fragged, but I tend to be generous.

Nothing is organized yet, so you may have to do some clicking around to find what you want.

Have you sold the pink tip hammer? And how much for it if not?

 

[philagothos]

I sold everything I took to the swap. I could probably get another frag off the hammer, but I'm all the way down by Bloomington and don't make it up to Indy too often. If you're heading down this way any time soon let me know and I'll try to get a frag off of it.
