Thank you to Franklin and his family for hosting our Reef Network Swap Meet.

It was a great day and it is always fun when we get together. There were some new faces and old friends. You had to be quick as the great buys went fast.

Once again Thank you Franklin you hosted a very memorable event.

Thank you Franklin! Your hospitality was very generous and your tank is beautiful. Great to meet many Canreefers!

TrailFish 08-24-2009 12:21 AM

Absolutely, thanks for hosting and putting out a spread. Nice to meet everyone. Next time I'll know to get to these things early!

JPotter 08-24-2009 02:59 AM

We went and it was great. Thank you so much for hosting it and thanks to all who brought lovely frags.
Much appreciated.

Sebae again 08-24-2009 03:59 AM

Many thanks Franklin and Family for hosting such a great event! I love the look of your reef tank. For those who couldnt make it, you really missed out. Heck,I even beat out Anthony to a great frag. That could be a first!

Thanks to Franklin and his family for hosting, I had a great time!! And thanks to the Reef Network guys for making this happen :biggrin:

fkshiu 08-24-2009 05:29 AM

Whew! What a crazy day everyone. Here's some pics of the tail end since I forgot to get the camera out until near the end. Too bad I didn't get any pics of the feeding frenzy that happened near the start of the swap. :(

Franklin, thanks to you and your family for being such super hosts, and to everyone for making it a great event!

christyf5 08-24-2009 02:44 PM

How were the ribs? :wink:

Tom R 08-24-2009 03:51 PM

Say Franklin

There is a great looking Skimmer for sale in the 3rd picture. Do you know who it belonged too, as I am sure it is still available. LOL

PS I think I saw it at a previous Swap Meet.

Tom R

untamed 08-24-2009 04:04 PM

Great event. I would say that a new standard has been set for food! (The ribs were worth waiting for...)

That is a super looking skimmer! I can't believe nobody scooped it up.

Thanks for hosting!

Jason McK 08-24-2009 06:27 PM

Yes for those eho couldn't hold out for the ribs you really missed a treat.

And BTW sarcasm is the lowest form of humor LOL

ridder 08-25-2009 02:10 PM

Think I've seen this before. Menacing to say the least!

Jason McK 08-25-2009 03:41 PM

Yes I believe we where talking about kaymen's in Anthony's pants. Nothing close to saving the universe

See how Anthony is boasting about the size of his lightsabre in the pic? :boink:

Legatus 08-25-2009 11:42 PM

Franklin, (and everyone), thanks for making my first get-together a blast. It was great to meet people, see an actual home tank, and pick up some gear cheap (I probably knocked a month off my set up budget).

Thank you Franklin and family for hosting this wonderful event and being so generous and welcoming ! I had a great time attending my first swap .


Thank you, Kenny

JakartaOrBust 08-26-2009 06:01 AM

always enjoyable
 
Thanks for the event!

Im sad that people inned and outed so early but happy there was less mouths to share those awesome ribs with. But I may have to retract my earlier statement that the swap is the best style. I think I am leaning back to the standard auction. People stayed longer and I had the chance to have many more conversations. But talking about Caymans in pants was a well discussed conversation this weekend.

Can't wait til the next round. I will try to be a seller for the future. Maybe I'll cut a few heads off the orange lobophyllia.

JakartaOrBust 10-20-2009 04:21 AM

looking for left over frag from the auction.
 
does anyone have any left over or even new frags of the neon yellow finger leather I could buy one of?

Mr.nintendo 10-20-2009 05:29 AM

JakartaOrBust 10-20-2009 06:25 AM
