[gcarroll]

tacocat and whoodah's Mummy Eye Chalice

[ezcompany]

[gcarroll]

Nope, the mummy eye is just a frag. I know tacocat will be there and he might have a frag of that available.

[er1c_the_reefer]

[gcarroll]

Here is a few more before the fragfest begins.

I do not know what this one is called but I think I just got a chubbie... where is your booth going to be? are you interested in trading for any of my uber expensive torts?

[Yinger]

i believe that one is the acroberry.

[gcarroll]

Henry760 & ezcompany - I have not decided on a price for the efflo. I expect it will not be cheap because I have seen few that are more colorful. I can only get one easy frag off of it because it has not yet begun to form branches. I will probably bring a maximum of 2 frags to RAP. Sorry, but no dibs.

er1c_the_reefer - you mean this one? If so i'm not sure that I will have any frags available. I might though. I'll have to see how it reacts to fragging.
http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c10/gcarroll/2007-07-25/PumpkinPatch3.jpg

epicfish - Looking forward to seeing you all there

five.five-six - Yinger it right, that is acroberry (named by James "blue stag" on RC)

I will be bringing a limited # of frags to RAP. My intent is to sell out early to be able to help out with RAP.

[Scissorhand]

Man, the fruits of your success is pretty awesome.

[pookstreet]

Nice, I'll take a frag of each please :lol:

[gcarroll]

Scissorhand - I only show you the fruits. Unfortunatly there are still some weeds.

pookstreet - Hmmmmmm!

Call me......................

[ezcompany]

what kind of blue tort is that greg?

[gcarroll]

SteveOhh - sorry Steve, bad reception here at court. I'll call.

ezcompany - not sure. I got it from a former SCMAS member when he took down his tank.

[Frankysreef]

How early I should arrive at RAP to get your frag?
:p

Get in line. I'll be there before the place opens and buy all his frags :lol:

[clsund]

Wow, those are all amazing Greg, but I'm sure you hear that a lot. Question- when you first get a frag or coral, how do you attach them to your rock?

[Warner Marine]

mmmmm.... that efflo is just ridiculous.

[gcarroll]

Frankysreef - Thanks for the compliment Franky, sad to hear you wont be making it to the show.

SteveOhh - Nope, just testifying against the punk kid who tried to steal it.

reefkt - 6:00 am to help set-up.

pookstreet - not if reefkt is helping vendors set-up. When was the last time you were at a frag swap on time? Oh wait that's me that's always late.

clsund - Thanks. I always use superglue unless I can find a whole in the rock to anchor it in.

Warner Marine - that's because I have low phosphate. I wonder why??????

Frankysreef - C'mon Franky, I have a few frags that look more like your corals that I sell for cheap.:D I just don't take pictures of them. While I'm trying to be Tyree, you are just trying to be .....http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c10/gcarroll/chef_smiley.gif. :lolspin:

Just kidding Franky, I know that like me you can take a joke too. Really though, I don't want to spend the whole event like the other vendors, standing in my own booth. I want to get out and mingle in other booths too. When was the last time I was at a swap selling more than a single cooler-full of frags? Makes no difference to me how big the swap is. I refuse to come home to a tank that looks like a chop shop!

[Frankysreef]

:)
I hate coming home with frags also...

I hate the flakes that want this and that .. and never show up. Or when they do.. only want to give you 1/2 the money.

F I never worry about this because there is always someone looking over that person't shoulder wanting to buy the frag that that person is thinking about. That's why I tell them, If you see something you like, buy it. You may not get another chance.

[Yinger]

greg clean out your mailbox!

[lowbudget]

yeah clean that mail box

[H22ATypeS]

Greg,

Please call me at the store number as soon as you can.

Thanks
Allen

[gcarroll]

sorry guys, it's clear now......for the time being!

[Marko9]

Nice pictures Greg. We'll see you next weekend.

[simon.007]

I can attest to Greg's Acroberry, its great and is doing excellent!

Greg,
I picked up, 3 weeks ago, an efflo not as big as yours but still very nice. It was all brown and now the tips are turning purple. I wish the centers would turn pruple or light green too. Would you consider a trade for a branch of your efflo and mine? I will post pics soon :)

Simon
