Nothing yet. It will be after the New Years. Some can't make it on this day, some on that day,..... This way, schedules should be clear and the turn-out should be good.

Thats cool. Bring something that you'd like to get. I'm sure there will be someone that would like a frag of it.

Once again, if worst-case-scenario should happen, I'll substitute with what I can.

The attraction is the frag exchange, but the focus is getting to meet other reefers and keep this hobby fun.

We'd love to have ya out 69! Don't worry about the frag thing. Basically trying to get everyone together for some laughs. Who knows, you may have something by then.

If anybody does not have frags and wants to participate in the frag exchange, feel free to pick something up along the way. You DO NOT need a frag to join in on the fun though!

Gee, I seem to remember reading something about not singling people out "Poppy828 (you better make it now!)"

Looks like I am singled out....

Count me "IN" with Elizabeth also for the 12th.

I have the perfect frag to bring already.

I said that I would not "single-out" the people that have not made the list(have not posted....yet) and fortunitely, you are on it!

Would the 26th be good.....bad.... or ugly?

I have the perfect frag to bring already.

Sweet!

I would like to come just to meet all of you and to check out a couple of tanks. I might not even have sand in my tank at this time so I won't be swapping.

Not even. Its like the goldfish of the cichlid world. Atleast some cichlid fans still like yellow labs!

Don't worry about frags. Come on out. Have some fun.

January 26th will be the day!

I'm thinking that everybody showing up between 3-4p.m. will work alright. We can do the "Exchange" by 4:30-5p.m. This will probably go pretty late(midnight, later? ), so anybody not bringing a frag can show up whenever is most convenient for them.

That should give a window to be late and not miss out on the frag exchange. It will also give me a little time to see who showed up with what and which types of corals they would like to receive. This way I can properly assign a compatible frag to everyone. I know this isn't as organized as it could be, but that is not the idea of this event. I just want everybody to relax and have a good time.

I am starting a new job so don't really know my availability...

If its the 26th I should have a better clue in a couple weeks... I am just going to tentatively say no and if I can make it I will let you know... if its too late for the swap then I will just have to show up for the "late" section...lol

i would go but i don't know how to frag properly (other than snapping off a few pieces with my hands). I would love to meet all of you guys because chances are i see you all the time when i am at LFS. Plus i honestly can say that i have no idea what i have so i can't tell you what the name of the frag is.

Oh man! I was gonna do it on the 19th(weekend before), but my girlfriend works every other weekend and she's off the 26th. If you wanna swing by late, I'd still like to have you out.

Worst case, I can see doing this again in a month or 2.



kawicivic- Hopefully you can make it out for the party!


big nick- Do the same thing with a pair of SS side cutters( F+S, Marine Depot,etc... sells them) and you are a profesional fragger. Or just do it with your hands. Don't need a fancy name, just a description. My favorite is "This is a green, branching, stony coral....:.
Who cares about the frags... Come meet all of us! I know you.

Yeah! Tony's in! Bring whatever you want brotha. I won't judge you.



where has our beefy gone
did we do something so wrong
why has it been so long
maybe we should sing a song

something that beefy will like
something that will make him happy
it will have to be from long ago
cause beefy is old enough to be my pappy



Since you are a S.M.A.S. rep. and I am a F.O.R.U. rep., should we really be recruiting for OT?
