'07 Regional Club Frag Swap in Dixon- Guidelines & Bonus Round Consideration - Page 6

slojmn · #**126** 10/02/2007, 11:15 PM

From what I understand Cost Plus has the restaurant style to go plastic containers with lids in a 40 pack or some thing of that nature. I can't confirm as I have not actually checked it out but I read that on RC before a BAR swap.

We've been getting those 16oz clear deli containers from Smart & Final. Pretty cheap.

hth!

airinhere · #**128** 10/03/2007, 05:51 PM

Smart and Final! They had plenty. Even a couple different sizes.

little_d · #**129** 10/03/2007, 06:28 PM

I fraged cali tort, tyree green polyp toadstool, tyree bali tricolor, le efflo and ponape birdnest. Let me know if any of them make the list.

Thanks

Thats great! I just hope you take something home to make up for your great generosity.

I would say the bali tricolor and le efflo is right up our alley of pieces for this qualification. Karl had also said the ponanpe birdsnest was good as well. the cali tort and toadstool are great additions to the swap as well.

This going to be cool, as the new guy I'm always worried about screwing something up but this event is going to be an eye full. I haven't meet you yet Pam but "Thank you!"

Reef n' Madness · #**134** 10/04/2007, 08:45 PM

What is everyone putting on their labels again? a picture, common name, scientific name, lighting/placement, and my handle? Am I missing anything?

airinhere · #**135** 10/04/2007, 09:01 PM

here is a sample of what one of my tags will look like.

Zoanthid
Radioactive Dragon Eyes
Beginner Through Advanced
airinhere MARS

Couldnt fit any decent pics of the corals onto the labels.

All of that information would be great, but it's unrealistic to expect everyone to be able to fit all of that, considering the variations of containers.

The two most important are the frag's hobby or scientific name, and the contributers contact information (RC handle or email address). That way, you can directly refer to them for any questions, like conditions, care requirements, or lineage (a good collector can trace their piece all the way back to even the originator).

Unarce · #**139** 10/05/2007, 03:24 PM

Thanks for holding the fort while I was gone, Mark! You are a scholar, and a gentleman

pics arent very convenient and I wont have access to any for sticking, just make it very nice if it is possible. But your description is a great example of what to put to down

Great zoa by the way, always an eyecatcher

I am a bad collector....I can only trace them back as far as from whom I got them from.
I tried asking the frag, but that went no where.

I even tried the old bright light in the eyes technique from the old gangster movies, but the coral just sat back and grew....any suggestions?

Unarce · #**142** 10/05/2007, 04:03 PM

Definitely isn't necessary for hobbyists to keep track, in general. In instances where you're buying, selling, or trading where the expectation is to get at or near retail value for a collectible piece, that person should have the trail.

Lots of untrustworthy people out there, unfortunately

Glad you said that, so I didn't have too. Well, see you tomorrow Karl, I figure you will be at the check in table? I will need you to point someone out to me when I get there

mkent · #**144** 10/05/2007, 10:50 PM

I'll be there! Looking forward to it!
