Please PM me. But only if I know you and are a member of FVRC.

I made some frag plugs that if you want some I can give you some. I am also going to make 4-5 structures to hold the frags inside the 10 gallon tanks F&S are providing. Just doing it for fun. I have extra clay and I only make a few pieces for my tank at a time now so I need something to fill the kiln with to make it worth the electricity.

Here is what one looks like.

I havn't put the holes in it yet. But it should look nicer than egg crate. You will also probably be able to keep more frags on it. You can also hide the heater and powerheads under the structure as it will be open underneath. I put a small piece in my tank last week and it already has coraline growing on it. So if you have a frag tank already you could put this in there and it would/should look pretty cool by the time the swap rolls around.

Sorry I didn't clean the glass on the 10 in the picture. I just put it over the top to make sure it fit inside it. I can space the holes like the pic below or spread it out more. All depends on how many frags you bring to the show. I still havn't decided if I am going to bring frags or not myself. Right now probably not.

So PM me if you want one. Like I said I am only going to make a few. And they are FREE. Here's the catch. You have to pick it up. I am not going to ship it or deliver it.

Gooch,
Cool looking rocks, nice work.
I am going to be selling at F&S but most of my frags are on rock and not plugs otherwise I would take you up on a rock.
Did you attend the swap last year? Most everything was sold within the first hour and a half of opening, hopefully the same will happen this year!
 
Here is what they look like in a tank with plugs. Once rock is fired it will be the same color as the plugs. This one is spoken for.

looks great!! did anyone find a hotel room yetand how much? and when is the dead line for registering?i want to go to the frag swap and listen to the speakers. Thanks Andrew
 
I looked into rooms and found a couple of them available. Don't know why so early in the game that they would be scarce, maybe there is a wedding going on also or something. We decided to take our trailer and camp.
I don't think there is a deadline to register but I do know that when we registered this year you also had to sign up for the tours at the same time and they state that the tours are limited. This is something different than last year and hopefully will work out better. I don't think they expected the turnout they had last year so there were some glitches with the tours.
 
As of monday there were only a hundred or so spots open for the dinner and speakers. I would sign up asap. If you can't find a hotel in Rhinelander...try Tomahawk it's only 20 min south(that's where I'm from) and we have several hotels here.
 
Hey Gooch.Sean from Neenah. I would be interested in one of your clay creations for a 29 gallon tank I'm setting up for zoos. It looks like it would work better than trying to stack live rock up to the top. If posible I'm looking for somthing approc. 26"long x12"high x10" deep to fill the space. Also a triangular type shape with shelves would be great. E-mail me if your interested, I know your probably not looking to get into a whole big project here but maybe we can work somthing out.
 
I can try to make something for you Sean, It would be two pieces though. The kiln I have only has a depth of 22".

Sending e-mail.

Just was on their website and there IS a deadline for registration and that date is June 2nd.
 
If I'm up and running by then I'll likely be bringing lots to the swap. If not, I'll be going anyway but won't have as much stuff with me.
