Frag Exchange Thread

[crumbletop]

Anyone with frags to trade or swap or whatever, go ahead and post here :D

[crumbletop]

I've got some fairly hardy and easy to keep acro frags -- The EvilMel's Green Mille -- that people can get for a trade or for free :)

It has grown since this pic. It is the coral in the upper right.

I've got it in the queue to be stickied. Let's see how it goes for a while before making any rules. If it gets overloaded, I can always unsticky it and start a new thread with some rules :)

I'm coming to Nashville on the 27th through Aug 5th.Imight be looking for some small frags for my 20long.

[crumbletop]

Anyone interested in some free EvilMel's Green Mille frags?

[gsusfreak]

im interested in it crumbletop....but how well do they do with PC lighting....i have a acro that is doing really well...think it'll work?

[crumbletop]

If you keep it near the top it may do alright. It is pretty easy to keep. Since you already have an acro that is doing okay, this is worth a shot.

[DMBillies]

John- I had an evil mel's hairy green mille under PC's for a few months and it did alright. That said, I had it all the way at the top of the water and even then, I didn't get a whole lot of growth out of it until I moved it into a new set-up with better lighting. I now have moved it almost onto the sandbed of my 90 and it's doing fine (T5's). It's not growing as fast as it was up high, but I'm actually getting much more green color and better polyp extension.

[streetracinsrt]

Crumbletop I am interested in a frag of the EvilMels green mille My stuff hasnt grown enough to frag yet but I'd be interested in buying some frags.

[crumbletop]

No problem. The EvilMel's is free. I'll send you a pm.

[c_stowers]

I've got the following frags for sale or trade:

4"X4" (roughly) peice of purple with blue polyped Montipora hodgenesis (sp?, basically a cap coral--this is a really nice peice)

3" peice with multiple branches of ORA german blue digi

1-2" peice of ORA german blue digi (I have 3 of these)

1-2" peice with multiple branches of Pavona (brown and green color, got 3 of these)

6"+ Kenya tree on 3-4 lb peice of LR

1-2" with branches ORA Purple Digi (got 3 of these)

FRAGS FOR FREE

Brown button polyps: I've got one rock with about 20 and another with 5-10.

Small Kenya Trees (I've got them ranging from 1/2" - 2")

I've also got some yellow polyps I can give away, but they need to be trimmed off a peice of LR in my tank.

I'm mostly interested in trading for nice zoas or other SPS. PM me if your interested in anything.

[pom xenia]

Hey,when I come down I had though about tring to bring some green star polyps & I migth frag some button polyps.The only thing is how long I can keep them alive .

[crumbletop]

If you bag them well with a decent amount of water and air in the bag, and you keep them at a decent temperature they can last for a couple of days. If you are bagging stuff to bring down here with you make sure you have some takers so that you don't waste the effort and the corals don't suffer.

[ct_vol]

I need a frag of EvilMel's green mille... :) If you're coming to the swap, it would be great if you could bring me a piece... I've got a bunch I could trade... I just posted a thread in the ETRC forum of some of the stuff I'll be bringing to the swap... LMK

[crumbletop]

YGPM :)

[gsusfreak]

im trimming down some kenya trees.....since i got some frags from jack and need a place to put them.....

i have 3 , all of which are free
1- approx. bigger than a golf ball
2- approx. bigger than a fist

[pom xenia]

DO the sw petstores take small frag or is anybody want to trade?

[gsusfreak]

Does AC take kenya trees?

[crumbletop]

They might take small frags or kenya trees. You'll need to call them to check because they only accept things on certain days and you need to call them ahead because they might be full up with no place to put anything.

[pom xenia]

Well I'm going in Nashville starting friday until sunday the 5th & was looking for some soft coral frags.also thing about tring one head or frog spond.

[crumbletop]

I have some red sea pink pulsing xenia and I also have a single small head of pink/purple tipped frogspawn if you are interested. I could also carve off a piece of green star polyps for you. LMK if you are interested. You'd probably be better off picking things up on the way back home. I'm in Brentwood which is just south of Nashville.

[pom xenia]

I don't I've seen pink pulsing xenia. What do you want for the frogspawn?I have 3 kinds of star polpy.my # is (574)516-5389 I also think would like to try some kind of tree.

[Nashvegas]

Hi, Chris. I'm interested in buying the 6" Kenya, if it's not already spoken for (or the smaller ones, if the big one is already taken). Did you want to set a time for folks to come by that's good for you?

I have some ORA german blue.

I've also got some evilmels green mille with your name on it :)

[Scucci]

If you think those green mille would do okay under 110 watts of PC light @ 4" away from the bulbs... or if you have any other SPS that you're looking to get rid of that would do alright at those levels... I already have some purple montipora digi and green bird's nest acro... but, like I said... I'll take whatever I can get. AND it's for a nano tank, so even a reeeaaaalllllyyyy small piece would be great since it'll look huge in the tank. :)

[crumbletop]

No problem. The mille will do better under better lighting, but I think it would do fine that high up in you tank. You are certainly welcome to a piece :)

[Nashvegas]

i'll be at the meeting then...maybe we can hook up then..

[lkr]

Will the guy be there selling the clow fish? We have been very pleased with the pair we got in Nashville, and want to get an order in for a different type.

Yay! It's so hard getting small pieces for my tank. What might be a little frag for you guys is almost a full sized colony in my tank. ;p

Like I said, I feel bad going in there frag hunting all the time, but the pieces that are for sale at the store are too big for my tank. The joys of nanos... can't wait to get some money to get a full sized tank set up.

Thank you!

FWIW, the bird's nest and the monitpora digi are doing great in the tank... esp the monti, it's all kindsa coloured up. The spot I'm thinking about putting what you bring will be even higher... only by @ 1" or so, but still higher.

He will not be at this meeting, as far as I know. He may be at the Chattanooga Frag Swap that is on Aug 11. His RC name is Fishboy42.

[H@rry]

Sorry, wrong thread.

[Kalied20]

I'm looking for Zoanthids, maybe a small colony or something. I have a large yellow leather that I can frag once or twice to trade or just pay if the price in right.

[SnoopTroop]

Hey all, Im new to this forum, fianlly found a Tenn. reef forum :D

[Peterock]

I would love to have a frag of
-EvilMels green mille
- and anything else SPS wise

[CKreef]

I have some xenia and kenya tree frags. $5 a frag

[scottkel]

Hello all - if anyone is in need of getting rid of any frags for FREE - i will be happy to do so! haha

Looking for some nice green star polyps to get going - as well as some zenia.

Always looking for acro frags... just upgraded to bigger tank - dont you want to help fill it!

Thanks!

Scott

[Dave51479]

Hey everyone I just found this forum, didn't know so many people from middle tn were here! I am from Columbia and I plan on going to the meeting and join the club. I would like to buy some frags.

[crumbletop]

Welcome! What kind of frags are you interested in?

[Dave51479]

Any and all! I have T5 lighting so I'm limited Ijust wanna add some excitement to the tank.

[crumbletop]

What kind of T5s? High output T5s should be fine for just about anything. Are you doing a mixed reef? Mostly SPS? Softies? My tank is 90%+ SPS and I could probably snip a few pieces here and there. There are 2 other frag threads going right now:

http://archive.reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=1237651

and

http://archive.reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=1240387

I haven't been following the threads, so I don't know if they are sold out yet. Take a look. I'm happy to post more about what I might could get you if you don't find what you are looking for there :)

[Dave51479]

Thanks crumbletop,
I have the Nova extreme with 2 10000k white and 2 actinic tubes and the L.e.d. moonlights the fixture is about a month old. I didn't know about this site when I bought lights

[crumbletop]

Those lights should do fine as far as I know. Does the nova extreme have individual reflectors for each bulb, or just a single reflector? If just a single, the output will not be as good, but things that like light should still do pretty well if you keep them in the upper half of the aquarium.

[Dave51479]

Thats good to hear I have had no luck getting frags shipped to me, would like to try to get some local. another question for you can I show up at the meeting and sign up for the group? I would really like to get involved in this hobby of mine!

[crumbletop]

You bet! I will not be able to be there, but Chris Stowers our VP or Wayne Pierson our Treasurer will be there. Either one can get you set up :)

[teamreefers]

Dave,

Kathy and I plan to attend the meeting. It will be our first. We live in Lawrenceburg. I'll bring along some free Xenia and mushrooms if you want. Just let me know.

Jack

[Dave51479]

Jack,
That would be great! This is gonna be my first meeting too.

[NeveSSL]

Ok... so... who has some good zoa frags planned for the frag swap in January?

I may also be looking at some other things as I should be able to get my T5HOs by then. :D

Brandon

[btkrausen]

Hey Nashville, this is Bryan from LMAS.

We are going to try to have a few members come down and check out the swap to help support you guys. We are a very active club and our members have some great, and rare, stuff.

If its ok, I might bring some frags of AoGs. I just fragged out about 10-15 polyps tonight, so they'll be ready just in time for the swap.

To make it clear, sellers should list out what they plan to bring. Thats how we did it and our first swap went very nicely.

Hope to see you there.

[btkrausen]

Also might be bringing a few frags of superman montipora, poker star montipora, and some other very nice stuff.

[gsusfreak]

btkrausen....man your making me super excited about the swap!!!

[imsqueak]

Looking for zoas, palys, rics, and lps. Blue, purple, orange, red or any combo for 2 "nanos". RSM and 24g Current. 2-5p frag fine by me, but no +$30/p unless you'll take half price.

[crumbletop]

There is a huge frag swap coming up on January 19 where you can likely pick up the stuff you are interested in. Here's a link. One of the later posts has links to a bunch of frag threads for things people are bringing:

[Tennsquire]

Thanks! I was just at Weetabix7's house. She has some nice non-zoo stuff to bring to the Kitchen. We are trying to plan what size tanks to bring to display things well. Looking forward to meeting you next weekend. Thanks for all your hard work to help make this happen.
