I believe some people will be bringing a couple fish. However nothing is written in stone.

As well Eli has sent us some amazing rocks. A big thanks to him once again. I'll post a picture of them very soon. He's doing an amazing deal for the frag swap. If your looking for clean rock to start a new tank. Or just adding a few missing peices to your system.
Now is definitely the time to pick them up at the swap!

albert_dao 11-05-2014 07:30 AM

I can bring fish. What are you looking for?

jhj0112 11-05-2014 08:16 AM

oh! I'm not looking for specific fish.. just wondering :) thanks for the offer :)

brittanyk 11-05-2014 04:13 PM

Hi guys, I wanna make it to the swap, but i may be working till 4
I was interested in premium euphilia and perhaps a few palys if budget permits.

Can anyone bring euphilia please post photos, because if it's first come first serve I'm screwed lol. I'm hoping if there's something I'm looking for , the seller could hold it?

Thanks
Otherwise I may have to send my husband & kids lol

Aye, that is what I am looking for as well...nice euphyllia, zoas, acans and some beginner SPS.

If the significant other doesn't want to go to the auction (freshie only) I'm coming here! :lol:

Just curious, what time does it go around till? Assuming you are starting a prize give out from 12 that means like 6~7ish end?

We'll probably end it around there. Possibly later if there's enough of a crowd still rockin' it.

Tn23 11-05-2014 06:47 PM

It's typically first come first serve. Unless prior arrangements have been made with the seller and they agree to hold something for you.

So it's probably best to send your significant other or your kids and hope they snatch some good things.

However lots of people attend the swap late. Some people came at 3 or 4 pm last year and brought things with them as well. So you never know.

We have more then enough prizes for hourly draws till even 8 or 9pm if there's enough corals/people left. Like Albert said it'll all be decided by the crowd and what's left. I'll try to keep the thread updated throughout the day. Check back on here and I'll keep you guys posted.

Tn23 11-05-2014 06:48 PM

Oh by the way looks like we will be having 5 tanks setup this event. Seems like there will be a huge selection of corals this time. Don't forget to bring any used equipment that you'd like to sell as well.

Great... That means I'll have to be pounding beers for corals at 11am haha :cool:


Just wanted to remind everyone. Every person will get a raffle to enter the draws. However when purchases are made at the Mezz lounge(the venue) we are using. They will hand you an additional raffle ticket each time. ;)

Tn23 11-06-2014 08:00 PM

Hey guys. Another update.
We are fortunate enough to have some professional photographers come in and take some professional photos and videos of the corals, people, the hobby and swap in general.

Ronald and his wife has kindly offered their services for free for this event. However he is a hobbies himself and it would be nice if some of us could toss him a few frags hopefully ;)

Below is some information about Ronald's company:

Our company is currently building and growing and we are working to keep up with the demand. Our new website will be launched probably end of this year early next year. www.mantareimedia.com but in the mean time people can view our own past personal projects @ www.mantarei.com

Ronald Diaz
Jamie-Lynn
Mantarei Media Co.

rishu_pepper 11-06-2014 08:13 PM

Great on Ronald. As a wedding photographer myself, I know how much work is put into events like these, and to do it for free is a testimony of his generosity.

See you guys there, and Albert I am waiting for my free beer. :lol:
