As far as the brown zoo's go...I think as long as their not all brown, and there is some other obvious color on them it should be cool. It is best to give the people your trading with a choice if possible. Although this isn't neccisary. Just don't send something you wouldn't want back.

I think it is best to use thermoses. It gives them a much better chance of survival in my experience.

Stix's Eagle Eyes or Eagle Eye morphs are insane....and they do grow very quickly.

If i can do this correct, here are the 2 zoos that we can get one frag of each from:http://photobucket.com/albums/y205/kidzatheart/Zoos/. We are just going to try and break the rocks they are on to get the 5 polyps we need to do the swap.

Hey AJ. I love those pinks. I just jointed yesterday. What you need to do is PM Scribe your name and address. I also told him how many frags i would be able to trade. The trades have to be a 5 polyp frag. HTH

So how many frags per thermos? How do you know who's sending you the frag? When would be the final day to subscribe?

So for example if I send 2 frags I'm supposed to get to frags also from the other person? How do I know that the other reefer is going to send same amount of frags? I meant if I sent 2 frags to X person but then X person only has just one frag I ended "loosing" a frag right?

Dicks sporting goods has small jug type thermoses (sp?) for 2.99.
They are kinda large though, and youll need a big box, but they dont weigh much.

AJ69 -
The way the thermos swap works is you'll be paired up with two people. You contact your parnters and determine between the two of you how many frags you want to send. Each frag should be at least 5 polyps, and should not be all brown zoos. You put your zoo frags in a thermos with some water, and send them off to your partner USPS priority mail. Right now were shooting for shipping in the middle of September, but you and your partners can work out individual shipping dates on your own.

I was thinking a good target date for mailing would be Sept 12 or 19th. Obviously if you want to work out something different with your partners, that is fine.

I think I'll keep collecting names until the end of the week. Unless you guys think I should let it go a little longer. Then I'll pair everyone up, and post the partners. Then that will give everyone a little over a month to get their frags cut and growing out.

Anyone have any problems with that?
