OK cool. I have approx. 2 million frags available for sale/trade. Please refer to my website (click on little red house on tool bar) to see coral pics. just about everything is or can be made available. Inquire about prices since i discount prices for RC swaps from what I have listed on the web site. Prices will vary depending on what size frags people prefer ranging from sub-atomic to planet size if available. I will soon post some additional special deals, colonies or more exotic corals frags.

Initially, I was going to have one in June, but father's day got in the way. Then, after thinking it over and getting some advice/suggestions from people who have been to previous swaps, I decided that it would be better to wait so that fraggers had time to grow out some of their corals. I was thinking August, but I can do late July if people are ready.

I would be in for late July or August jacksonpt. That is of course if people that have enough frags to swap by then. Always look forward to meeting the gurus of salt talking with them learning from them and just listening to good advice being given out. Being relatively new I have no frags to offer but always looking for some to buy.

I know Jackson was planning on having a frag swap in early August or late July so having one on July 22nd is a little close together IMO. I think it would be cool to have one at your place John but maybe we could have one at your place in a few months given that it seems Jackson is still planning on having his soon. Since Jackson was the first to mention hosting a frag swap in July/August I think it would be fair to him if he still wants to host to let him do that. Of course that is just my opinion. Does that sound cool with everyone? It looks like July 22nd is bad for people, would the weekend after that work for everyone?

Dave VG

Yes

weekend after would be good...

Well to put the record straight I was the first to mention a swap meet then Jackson mentioned he want to have one . I was going to have one the day P&C jumped on the bandwagon.... But I dont care its all moot. As far as the following weekend It is not good for me I have a family reunion that weekend so I guess I will not be attending unless it is in August.

OK this is more complicated than I thought! :lol: I do remember the whole P&C thing now. So maybe we can have one at John’s the first weekend in August? Then we could have one at Jackson’s in October. That would be cool with me if other people are free then…

Should we check with SteveL and see if he is interested in coming and if he is free that weekend? I know he always has lots of frags and it would be really cool if he could make it…

I can host Sunday July 29 or Sunday, August 26. Those are the only weekends I'm free until September. If one of those dates works for you all then I'm game. If you'd rather have flar92 host the first one then I'll host in early Nov, that's cool with me too.

Just let me know what works for everyone.

Flar can't host unless he has fully cured DIY rock to show off

Well I think the rock will be cured by sometime in August. Due to the fact that I will have to make a road trip to Florida with my brother for a couple of weeks in August I will not be able to host any meets till September, so if someone else wants to host go ahead. I think an October meet would be nice ,that way we can share our MACNA stories plus the weather will not be bad yet. I will do that on the 14th(sunday 10/14/07). Sorry for any confusion ... I just found out yesterday about the Florida trip.

Wow, that's a long time for the rock. Are the rocks still in the stream or in trash cans? What is the current ph? Anybody know any "tricks" to expedite the curing process? My rock, albeit relatively small has been cured for some time. Are any of the smaller pieces ready. I guess i am expewriencing some u8rgency since we are getting musch closer to filling the tank. I was hoping to have something to display by August since that would benefit the zoo. I suppose i could use the rock I have purchased and rearrange it when the DIY rock is ready. Regarding the meet, no problem postponing till September.

so jackson you still planing on having one???

jacksonpt
07/13/2007, 05:11 PM
It's up to the people with corals. If there's stuff available I'm more than happy to host. If not, then we should probably wait.

You could be third in line to host a swap. I dont have anything really to swap but I might have enough room.

jacksonpt
07/16/2007, 07:01 AM
I guess I'll hold off on hosting a swap at this point. There seems to be a bit of interest from buyers, but not much from sellers.

Summer time is really slow. Neither URS or URSNY have frag swaps during the summer because of the lack of interest. Once the holidays start coming up and the weather becomes less inviting, interest in frag swaps will pickup again. That will also give some of us up and coming coral farmers and chance to grow out a few more corals for sale/trade. I know Vince, Adam, and I are just getting our prop systems up and running now so in a few months hopefully there will be some more corals to go around.

This actually reminds me does everyone in our area actually know about our forum? I was over at Mike’s the other night and he mentioned that there may be some people that don’t even know about STRS yet. Can anyone think of someone we may have left out? We should contact them by PM or whatever to personally invite them so that everyone can stay up-to-date one what is happing in our area as far as frag meets and whatnot.
