Frag Grab Bag for the next swap

workn4frags · #1 08/29/2007, 08:44 AM

O.K. here is the idea.

we can order a frag pack from an on-line vendor, I think most are 20 packs. so if we get 20 people or 20 bags sold for say $12.00 ea. we will have enough to pay for shipping.

We buy the frag pack the week of the meeting, we can rebag/container each frag. put it in a plain paper bag so no one knows what they are. attach a card of some kind to the bag.

bring them all to the swap pass out matching cards for all the frag bags to those playing, and the matching grab bag is yours.

For this to happen we need to have x amount of bags sold. We can choose from many vendors, Reefer Madness has a 20 pack, I just e-mailed FragFarmer so I should know soon.

LMK by putting your name below, 1 for each GB you'd be interested in. Just gauging interest right now.

That actually sounds like a lot of fun, some of my most fun corals have been ones that have been given to me and that I would never have chosen to buy on my own.

Vince,

P.S. - If we have enough people can we pay you

through Pay-Pal before ordering. So funds are secured

beforehand? Or how do you want to arrange it? Let us know,,,,,,,,,

lovelylinda · #6 08/29/2007, 06:21 PM

Put me down, please. I can't cut & paste.

Angel-ray · #7 08/29/2007, 06:56 PM

I will go for 1 as well!

workn4frags · #8 08/29/2007, 07:14 PM

O.K. so far looks like we may be able to pull this off

David,
yes funds will need to be secured either threw paypal before I give you your card. I don't mind ordering and having everyone paying when I get to the swap. I just hope I don't get stuck with all the corals

so if you need to back out we will set a deadline for that also.

LMK if I missed anything...

ReeferMadness has an all SPS pack or we can go with a mixed pack of SPS, LPS and about 5 zoas. Any thoughts?

Here is ReeferMadness's frag pack. I still haven't heard back from FragFarmer.

(Sigh) for those of us making do with Stockuapod lights, I vote for the mixed bag.

workn4frags · #12 08/29/2007, 08:04 PM

looks like shipping would be free so possibly only $10 per bag.

ZOAKEEPER · #13 08/29/2007, 09:14 PM

Good deal workn, Great idea. Didn't want to see you have to foot the bill up front. So paypal for those of us that use it can help ease the pain. 10 people should be a snap. Again Great idea. Lets do a Yuma pack get together and split that next!!! Maybe some floridas......Maybe some.....?????

workn4frags · #14 08/29/2007, 09:28 PM

Dave, do you have any contacts or know of a good place we can work with for the Ricordias? LMK and I will contact them

ZOAKEEPER · #15 08/29/2007, 10:56 PM

Well I called my friend in Florida. He can get us neon orange and blue/green FL rocs for 13.00 each and
green FL Rocs for 8.00 each
If anybodies interested, we can do it whenever and
I can get as many as we want,
not to bad a price. We can see what kind of interest we get after the swap. Workn's got a great idea on the group buys for the frag packs, maybe we can keep them rollin monthly or Bi-monthly........Especially for 10-20 bucks apiece!!!

Hey everyone, I am new to Tucson, (Actually Sahuarita) but I was wondering when this frag swap would be happening. I am still trying to put together some things to start getting water in my tank. Please let me know!!

Ok guys we have solidified plans for the September Frag swap.

WHEN: Sunday September 16th 2007
TIME: 2:00PM
WHERE: THUNDER CANYON BREWERY
7401 N. LA CHOLLA TUCSON, AZ. 85741

RESERVATIONS HAVE BEEN MADE

There's a thread a little further down this page. Hope to see you there.

workn4frags · #18 08/31/2007, 07:30 AM

I've received an e-mail from FragFarmer, their frag system is going threw a little crash, so they are out. He did offer us mini colonies from Soloman (sps) but it more like $20+ per piece. Don't know how many SPS fans we have but if the interest is there maybe next time.

I also found ricordias but that would be more like $13 per bag. They are doing a ricordia GB in PHX for $15 ea. so this is not a bad deal.

An all SPS frag pack worries me, how do we know if the coral was cut because of STN or RTN???

We are still just gauging interest, so let me know your concerns and questions, I can't do the forum or chat rooms at work so if needed e-mail me at workn4frags@gmail.com .

Thanks

BonesCJ · #19 08/31/2007, 10:20 AM

Monty's Pick: 20 Pack of LPS, Ricordea and SPS Frags

that kind of package may offer the most variety for different tank setups

lovelylinda · #20 08/31/2007, 08:57 PM

Musicbabe and I would each go for a mixed bag.

Tangman1218 · #21 08/31/2007, 09:19 PM

I would be down for an SPS pack or Zoa pack. I have never had much luck with LPS.

In fact, I have a couple LPS right now that need attention, so if anyone is interested, LMK via PM and we can work out a time for you to p/u.
