Vancouver Frag and Gear Swap - AUGUST 23rd
 
WHO? - All reefers and SW enthusiasts of the lower mainland

WHAT? - Bring your frags and used gear to sell and talk some reef at the same time in an informal atmosphere

WHEN? - Sunday, August 23rd from around 11AM to whenever

WHERE? - My backyard (3165 East 45th Avenue, Vancouver - between Joyce and Rupert)

HOW? - Swap meet style by popular demand (bring and sell your own crap!)

If you will be selling items, please reply to this thread so we have an idea of how many tables we need. A good tip for selling frags is to bring pictures of the mother colony to show off.

If you've never been to one of these things, it is a great way to grab a lot of equipment and great frags at fantastic prices! Who wouldn't want to spend all day talking reef with a bunch of friendly reef nerds? (Plus, there's a good chance the BBQ will be in action as well :D )

frags and craps trade meet
 
came within a hair's width of major tank crash just ended up losing a few sensitive pieces to the bastard heat wave until i took drastic cooling action. so folks bring all your juicy stuff and i'll be first in line to grab them.

Van-rookie 08-11-2009 05:04 AM

hhmm to bad I won't be able to make it, i would love to get frags of your corals. Your tank is amazing

Looking forward to it.

Don't have much it the way of frags except for two 3" green digi and some finger leather. But I can hopefully snag some great stuff from everyone else.

I bring some misc hardware I have hanging around including:

RedSea Pro wavemaker
OM Supersquirt (never used)

Cheers.

SeaHorse_Fanatic 08-19-2009 06:21 PM

I'll be bringing some frags & maybe equipment for sale. Made several single and combo photosynthetic gorgonians frags. Have some colourful sps and hammer/frogspawn frags as well as zoas (Red People Eaters) and Ricordea frags.

BTW, have my own table that I'll bring along.

pinhead 08-19-2009 06:40 PM

I've got some powerheads, plumbing and lighting parts. For livestock, I have some macroalgae, zoas, palys, and other softies.

SeaHorse_Fanatic 08-19-2009 07:56 PM

Looking forward to seeing everyone there.

TrailFish 08-19-2009 08:19 PM

Never having been to a swap, what is the setup for holding frags?

Everyone brings their own frags in coolers or whatever. You should have pictures of the frags/colonies so people can see what they're buying. Then it's market capitalism at its finest: set a price and negotiate away!

FBNitro 08-20-2009 02:48 PM

I'll try to be there Franklin (as a buyer)... grandmother is in town from the UK, so just have to make sure no family things are going on w/her.

scherzo 08-20-2009 03:22 PM

What about livestock? I have a Tomato Clown that I may want to get rid of.

Jason McK 08-20-2009 04:13 PM

Sure, I think you could bring anything you want
