Vancouver Frag and Gear Swap - AUGUST 23rd

[fkshiu]

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 )

I'll have a few things including maybe a couple of lumenarcs and a dual HQI ballast.

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

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

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.

Talkin' turkey


Look what you missed if you weren't here!


Check out that awesome skimmer.


The spread.


Is this safe?
