All,
The date is still the 24th and it will start at 7:30PM. All those who are attending please send me a PM and I will PM you directions to the house. (I'd rather not post it on the web)

10 have paid by paypal, if my math is correct.; plus two others have spoken to me, so counting myself we have 13 paid

twon8 · #**105** 02/16/2007, 08:02 PM

up to 15 taken care of

i spoke with the guy at reefermadness and he thought having the swap at 730 would leave the frags in bags for too long, so he suggested we get them on thursday it would allow a couple of days to settle before changing tanks again. i haven't yet figured where to store 40 frags, but im working on it.

Twon,

That suprises me since the ones I got from Copps were shipped on Friday and didn't get acclimated into our tanks until Late Saturday night... I still have all my frags from Mikes swap.. Did anyone loss any of theirs from that meet?

I would think (02) acclimations would be harder on the animals than 12 or so more extra hours in a bag of water... Then again I guess they are the experts

i initially didn't think it would be a problem, but chris said he wanted us to be happy with the frags and he thought that much time in bags wouldn't be good. another thing is that copps' frags are all tank raised, we'll be getting mostly wild stuff; both good and bad, more chance for losses, but also the chance of getting something original.

It's all good! Looking forward to seeing the gang!

do these frags come marked as to what they are or just box full of bags

phurst · #**111** 02/16/2007, 10:15 PM

If you can find somewhere to keep them, maybe that wouldn't be so bad, especialy if someone can post a list of what shows up, and maybe some pics :-) Then maybe we could get an idea of what we want before the meet.

im going to ask them to mark them, but once we get them into the tank we'll know what they are.

i'll try and get a list up before the swap, but i don't know about pics,

LB · #**113** 02/17/2007, 10:01 AM

Neptune777 · #**114** 02/17/2007, 07:53 PM

Glad to see such a great response to this meet

phurst · #**116** 02/17/2007, 11:34 PM

twon8 · #**117** 02/18/2007, 12:14 AM

WILDTHING · #**120** 02/18/2007, 11:10 AM
