Im looking for a frag of A. horrida if anyone has any..

OMG Tim! You're killing me. Those are gorgeous!! :cool:

Hey shelly. I need to reserve a few peices for shane and I. 2-green purple cyphastria, 1 green cyphastria, 2-red and yellow chalice, 2-orange and green cyphastria.

Hey shelly. I need the UFO if you still have one.

It's yours!

Oh boy this is looking like it is going to be a kick ass frag swap! Tim i love what your bringing, they are georgeous; but wow those prices are like way high for one inch frags and at a frag swap put together by hobbyists at one of our homes and not your store...just sayin
Cheers Ronnie

+1

I would be buying at least 4 if they weren't so pricey. The host must be getting a commission at these prices.. :razz:

I dunno guys, I don't think he should have to lower his prices just because its a hobbyist frag swap. Those are some extra special pieces (at least the realyl $$ are) you don't see those too often (if at all).

I agree Ronnie.

Road Trip!!
 

I think its time for a road trip!

Brad - it's time for ME to raid YOUR tank!

Shelly - You have awesome stuff everytime you post. Looking forward to seeing what you have.

Ya, the prices are painful, but I did order a couple anyway :)

Kelly, you're more than welcome!!

Sorry to let you guys know but the superman pictured in Tim's post is no longer available as it is now in my tank. Thanks Tim for all the extras

Frag prices
 

Hi Ronnie,

Honestly, I never even thought of the retail pricing being an issue at a frag swap. I am still that hobbyist at heart and love to talk reef and oggle peoples reef tanks. I figured selling some high end frags could subsidize the $175 trip so I could meet some fellow hobbyists. I was also planning to give away some samples of the Ocean Fresh Pacifica Plankton and the Foz Down for people to try. So people buy a $55 high end rare frag(that stores sell for $55) and get $25 in free product to try.

Cheers,
Tim

ps My frags are very rarely a 1" single stick.

You're not invited to the swap....:)

I said sorry.:smile:

ROFL!!

Well yes reefers do all love to try new stuff, and of course charge something for your expenses, that is not at all what i said...i just think your prices were pretty steep for a hobbyist frag swap. Our last frag swap people were swapping, selling frags and of course the more premium pieces were going for a few extra bucks, but wow $65 for a frag, i just don't think you'll get many bites with high price tags like that...IMO And if ya do, then well i guess ferry lunch is on those with fat wallets!! ha ha
Don't sweat it Tim, it will be great to see you again, chit chat and yes there will be delicious snacks too!

PS. everyone, i am bringing some delicious home made salsa and chips! YUM:biggrin:

Thanks Kelly..I'm going to bring a little this and a little that. Looking forward to meeting you.

I will be bringing some of the Superman Monti as it appears to be popular, this pic was taken a couple of minutes ago...

I will try to get some more pics up shortly.

I know it's a long shot, but if anyone has any blue or purple A. formosa, feel free to bring some over! :)

I will bring a selection of randomness, I am bad with names so if you like something just refer to it as 'the blue one' or something like that :)...

Well Tim, it's great that your coming over and offering some of your frags and goodies. It will be nice to finally meet you. Ferries aren't cheap so I hope it works out for you. Some of you frags might not be cheap but all I have to say is WOW you have some nice stuff. My buddy Shane and I think your frags are well worth the money and he would like 1 of the royal blue-green polyp aussie acro if they aren't spoken for and 1 of the morphin birdsnest. Unfortunately it looks like once again Shelly is bleeding me dry but you never know. I'll also put in an order for the store for my favorite frozen food, Oceanfresh Plankton, Oceanfresh coral food and POz down for the store if you can bring it over with you.

:mrgreen: just a few pints Chandler.

It seems i have to come as well, as we gust both a nice 300g, we don't have to set up yet, that might take a while still, but as I now hold my coral in a 3 by 7 table, I have space to get a nice stock.

I don't have much frags, as I had to leave most of my coral in the tank at the old house, but can maybe trade some other things

Darn i'm gonna have to miss this one! Looks like some nice stuff.

crappy ricordea picture. Im going to number the bags these go in.
2,3,6,7,10 are orange and green multis, 5 is a green and purple multi, 1, 4, 8 are diff oranges and the others i forget :) I think they may be the green multis in the picture below. the ones on the left are the green orange multi

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y24...IMG_0468-1.jpg

Hey Shelley, how much for the Aussie Favia?

All my stuff will be $20

oh forgot, I have two nice little mini colony ponape birdsnests,,Im only bring these if someone reserves them.. the tips break off too easy to just take it for a ride and back home.

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y24...a/IMG_0474.jpg

MINE!! :mrgreen: (just one please :) )

I will take the other one

Ok christy gets one ou get the other, and Daniel I have one for you if you can get someone to take it to you in Van.:mrgreen:

Hey guys, Brad, just wondering if its okay if apexfd and I show up without any frags? We want to come by and check out your tank, buy some frags, and just have some fun. I'll bring some yums and if its nice out we will probably ride out.

Sure, everyone can come!

Perfect, I will see you on the 14th, Thanks Brad.

We luv yums!

I was thinking maybe some crispycream...

You have my attention......
