Keep your eyes on the girls, I bet they get into that too! Hopefully that distracts mine from seeing any new additions :razz:

Shelley, are you going to have a tub set up for floating frags? I can bring a large tote if you need one.

I will set one up today so that it's warm. Can I suggest that everyone bringIng frags mark your bags with your name and contents.. It makes it so much easier.

Also if any sellers want to post pictures of the frags or colony's in this thread, I will have a laptop so that buyers can log in and look at the pictures.

Lol I still don't know what you brought.. I held up a bag and asked what was in it, and someone yelled " I will take one of each" and cash started getting tossed in your general direction.. Damn Jake was in my way and he's too frickin tall to see over :mrgreen: it looked like the mob was starting to mill, kinda like the walkers.. I ran

Haha! If it helps I don't really know what I brought either but they seemed to like them. I have "orders" for two more, now I just have to figure out which coral it was I took down there!

There have been swaps Vancouver/area swaps before. You just need to start the idea swirling around and others will be interested and offer to host (if you're not hosting it yourself). Its pretty easy to get the ball rolling. We just started discussing this one a couple weeks ago et voila! A meeting happened.

And cuz we're bitchin' :razz:

lngrhaul 01-30-2012 03:41 PM

christyf5 01-30-2012 03:50 PM

Awesome! :mrgreen:

Aquattro 01-30-2012 03:55 PM

Ya, then we can do a frag fest in my tank!! :razz:

christyf5 01-30-2012 03:56 PM

LOL, didn't we just do that yesterday? :razz:

Aquattro 01-30-2012 03:57 PM

No, that was a frag smash. It's kinda the same, just more collateral damage!

christyf5 01-30-2012 03:59 PM

collateral damage, pfft. I call them bonus frags! Get mountin those babies! :razz:

Aquattro 01-30-2012 04:00 PM

Still trying to figure out how to put humpty dumpty frogspawn back together again!!

christyf5 01-30-2012 04:02 PM

Yeah I don't think that is going to happen, I've found using epoxy and some of those frag plugs as props can help though.

Is it a branching frogspawn? If so what about zip-ties near the bottom and rubble in between branches with more zip-ties nearer to the top to make it fan out?

Ya, I think I can tie it back together, maybe a bit of gel clue. Looks like 3 clean breaks through the bottom of the branches. I have a 3 pound "frag" mounted on a magnet and it dropped right into the froggy

I fixed a trumpet coral once by rolling out some putty and wrapping it.. Kinda made a cast and it held ok.

Well ya, right, who would eat brownies? Especially if they were going to a frag swap instead of the 15k run they were supposed to do instead!



Ok, I might have had 1. Or 4.....

I've got a really nice 30+ head frogspawn I would love to trade for some of your stuff if you can't get it back together.

Otherwise its going off to the lfs - I've got 2!

And yes - frag swap in April is good - I might even have some stuff to bring this time........maybe :(

Mine actually appears to be one piece while it's expanded, so trying to fix it is just to satisfy my OCD :)
I may end up needing some LPS though for my daughter's tank, let's see what you've got in April!

Rice Reef 01-31-2012 04:53 AM

Shelley, thanks again for putting this together. Always a treat seeing your tanks. Really nice meeting you, Christy and your frags are settling well in my tank and the blue tips are just simply stunning!

Sweet! This time I will be prepared.. I made a BUNCH of different cyphestria frags from the ones everyone wanted Sunday. I did some of the green with purple polyps, some of the green ones, some of the bright orange ones, and of course more meteor showers.

Any interest in Ricordeas? :mrgreen:
