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

Myka 11-19-2008 04:57 PM

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.

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??

phillybean 11-19-2008 05:11 PM

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:

Starry 11-19-2008 05:46 PM

Which Site are you working at Myka?

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

phillybean 11-19-2008 06:04 PM

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 :)
