Ah, that kinda sucks. I'm guessing you had to take all your tanks down :(

No, I have a great tank-sitter!! Although my planted tank looks like a swamp right now. I guess I need to put pressurized CO2 on it...

Change of time

I just found out that I'm going to have to work on Saturday, I will be off work at 2:30 and back home by 3PM.

Lets shoot for a 3PM start time.

Again the address is 775 Francis Ave, use the right side door. I'll have a sign up pointing to it.

Total of 14 (!!!) people. Should be fun :D

Ah good to hear. Are the Bangaii's still breeding? Do you have any frags to bring?

When I had my planted tank, I just used a Coke Bottle, Sugar, Yeast, Airline tubing and a air stone and my plants grew like mad!

Should we bring snacks??


So whats the best way to transport prepare frags for a swap? Tupperware? One frag per bag??

I'll provide the snackage. Don't expect anything too fancy :P

Tough to say frag wise, I think a bag per frag is the way to go. Rebagging/packaging on the fly would be a pita I think.

Holy! I didn't expect so many people!! That's awesome! I hope everyone shows up.

I assume the Bangaii's are still breeding. but my tank sitter says both of them have been eating the whole time, so maybe they haven't had a batch since then. They had a batch about 6 weeks ago, so they're due any time now.

I have a single Candy Cane frag I can bring. I've been holding a frag for nazerine for a while too, so I'll bring that one as well. I don't have much right now. I purged before I left. :lol:

I have a similar DIY CO2 thingy set up right now, but it's a lot of work for my tank-sitter, and she's not very reliable at filling the bottle up often enough so the level of CO2 is fluctuating terribly in the tank, hence massive algae growth. I will either need to put pressurized CO2 on it to stabilize it, and take away some maintenance, or tear it down.

Anyone bringing soft corals?? Please list.

:biggrin:

Which Site are you working at Myka?

Amy, I have xiena: 3 frags and a colony if interested.

I'm not expecting the full 14 people to show up. Some people have quite a drive which might not make it possible.

That said, even if 10 people show up, it would be a great starting point for future frag swaps :)

I'm a little confused phillybean.

Is the start time 3PM on the 22nd or the 29th?

It may be a little too late in the day for me. I'll try to post pictures of my frags tonight so if anyone is interested in something, I can maybe send it along with another person from Vernon.

Cheers,

Kevin

It's the 22nd Kevin.

He ment his sps croaked a week before the meet.

Yeah, I commute from Summerland to Westbank, now that the road is open my employer is expecting to see me every day. So I will see if I can stomach another commute on a Saturday. (but boy the telecomuting excuse was great while it lasted).

Sorry, still the 22nd at 3PM.

Also, it's no problem for anyone who wanted to attend but is unable too. There will be more frag swaps in the future :)

I have to bow out...my wife's Office Christmas party is that evening...crazy that business's are doing these that early. I was a ittle shy on frags anyways...but I'll have some for the next meeting.

Dangit...it's official. I'm not in town on Saturday. I'll be back on Sunday though. Any chance of moving it to Sunday afternoon? Would that work better for people?

Apparently there is some sort of sports activity happening on Sunday. I think it might be on TV.

Ha Ha, nice try Myka. Trying to convince men to give up their games.

I too have to bow out. My wife gave me the look when I asked for permission. She's usually pretty cool about it, but ever since I forced her to carry my unborn child, I have little chance of convincing her that the honey-do list can wait.

I guess I'll keep selling my frags that I have remaining here:

I have a real nice pink finger leather that needs a good home. Apparently if it gets too large I'll have some chemical warefare going on between it and my toadstool. I love it when I find things out like that after the fact....

Have fun!

Kevin

:lol: Oh, is there football or something? I think it's that time of year isn't it?

I was just checking out that pink finger leather of yours. I've been toying around with the idea of adding a leather to my tank now that I don't have SPS anymore. How big is it?

PM'd

Kevin,

How big is the rock that the yellow polyps are on??

Did you get my pm about the blue mushroom??

:biggrin:

Just wanted to let you all know that I am unable to attend this weekend. Hopefully will see you all the next one.

Have a great time.....:mrgreen:
