The 2004 7th All Ohio Frag Swap – Sept. 26th - Columbus, OH

[TacoKing]

FRAG SWAP! FRAG SWAP! FRAG SWAP!
It’s finally time! Our yearly frag swap has come! CORA will be holding the 2004 7th All-Ohio Frag Swap on September 26th, 2004 in Columbus, Ohio. The event will take place at the <a href=http://go.vicinity.com/sixcont/bidMap.d?BID=CMHHC&brandname=_holidayinn> Holiday Inn East </a> located at 4560 Hilton Corporate Drive, Columbus, Ohio 43232 starting at 12:00 PM and ending at 4:00 PM. The Holiday Inn East has a large 2500 sq. event room which will be plenty to hold everyone and their corals, not to mention free parking! For those who would like a break from the swap activities there is a nice bar and restaurant located at the Holiday Inn.

The swap will have an admission charge of $5. This admission charge will cover you and any spouse or child you would like to bring. We will include 3 raffle tickets with the price of admission. The cost of admission will cover the costs of the event and allow us to bring you excellent goods to raffle off.

At 3:15 we will be holding our raffle. Raffle tickets will be available for $1 prior to the raffle. Items will include corals from Dr. Mac and Sons and PhishyBusiness, gift certificates from ReefScience and many more great items

We highly recommend the trading of corals, but if you are just starting off and need to get started I know there will be many hobbyists willing to sell.

We currently have numerous vendors attending:

PhishyBusiness.com
Premium Aquatics
Coral Dynamics, Inc.

With donations from:

PhishyBuisness
FragFarmer.com
ReefScience.com
Reefer Rocks
Dr. Mac and Sons Corals

And many many more……

If any vendors are interested in attending and you have not been contacted you must contact Rob Becker at rbecker@usrhome.com first. This is required or you will not be able to enter the event.

[seandanekind]

Crap... I'll fix it...

[seandanekind]

I don't have the right tools here at work, so it's a very crappy temporary fix (refresh if you don't see it). I'll edit it on my laptop over lunch and upload a new copy.

[Sharpy]

Just taggin' along, I can't wait!

The frags I have available are at http://www.sharpy.com/frags/

[reeftechie]

I only have Acros is that ok? And do you Ohio people sell frags or trade only.. In Indiana we do both, just don’t want to come over there without knowing the rules.

Thanks,
RT

[dieselfish]

Did you read the whole post? You can trade or sell. Anyone is welcome. What kind of acros you have?

[TacoKing]

reeftechie, yeah, come and bring what you have! I'm looking for some acros myself, what do you have that you might bring? maybe we can work out a trade or two.

[reeftechie]

Unless there is some natural or family disaster, I'll be there, lol!!!

James

[ReefDent]

Here's what I'll probably have to bring:

various acropora milleporas
blue california tort
pink stylophora
pink seriatopora
blue-tipped turquoise stags
purple, purple-tipped green, and orange-red montipora capricornis
pink-tipped blue-green table acro other green-yellow table
a rose bta (yes it's really pink) if it finishes its split.

James

[AcroSteve]

Reefdent, I am interested in the BTA.

And the Cali tort.

Any pics of them? Have you looked at my pics for a trade candidate?


Thread (http://archive.reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=411759)

[ReefDent]

Hey Steve, you still interested in those VHO bulbs from last year? I kept them in storage if you are, lol!!!

James

[dieselfish]

ok, It appears that there is 2 threads

[chaetomorph]

VHOS? I'll be looking for a few actinics for my freshly purchased ice cap 660.. 48" tank. Can't decided on either 4 24"s or 2 48".. My dilemma is an Oceanic tank with the glass divider int he middle.. Making me want to go with 24's.. Opinions? Trades? I'll get together my pathetic list here in a day or so..

[szwab]

this thread was for general info of the swap the other was started for folks trying to get trades together

[ReefDent]

chaetomorph,
If your want 4 bulbs, just go with 4 46.5" or 48" bulbs, or if you want two, two 46.5" or 48" bulbs. I have an oceanic 75 and that's how I did it. The divider doesn't do that much- as long as you keep it clean, and two 24" bulbs cost a lot more than 1 48" bulb.

I'd like to help you out with the bulbs, but don't have any actinics, and the aquasuns are already spoken for.

Maybe Premium Aquatics will be bringing some stuff like that. Send them an e-mail and you could probably at least save on shipping!!

James

[porky]

[Kreeger1]

I'll be heading down not much to trade this time around as my tank is pretty empty right now. http://archive.reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=412673&perpage=&pagenumber=1
But I'll be brining some cash
Erik
Could frag the gorgonian on the 4th page
anyone intereseted?

[23838617]

This will be my 1st swap, I plan bringing a couple of large
GREEN finger frags, several toadstools, GSP colonies, maybe some orange/green zoos, possible BTA if I can pry one of them outa the tank.
How exactly does this work, should I pack all the stuff in bags in a cooler and carry it around, while I look at others, or do you make a list? whats the common way people handle to goods?

[szwab]

there will be tables to set your frags on. You can also walk around with them (sometimes that works better) you can also check out the swap trade thread in the CORA forum. There are some trades already being made. The best I have found is to take pics of them in your tank so that everyone can see what they look like in tank lighting.

[23838617]

Thanks, the trading thread looks pretty good, but I really need to buy a good camera, however I just upgraded to MH, and getting ready to splurg on a calcium reactor- kinda of hard to convince the wife that now I need spend more money so I can take pictures of all the money Ive already spent this month!

[szwab]

save your $$$ come to the swap who knows someone might have one for sale or we may have one in the raffle. Items are being added all the time

[holeinone1972]

Hey what if a hobbiest like myself wants to bring his little nano full of corals and a light to trade and sell out of. Is that ok?

Do I just pay the $5 entry?


Rob

[szwab]

yep nanos are fine keep in mind that these are banquet tables not exactly sure how much weight they will hold I'd leave the 75 gallon tank at home :)
tables are first come first serve also if you will have any cords please bring tape to tape them to the floor.
(don't want any trip hazards)

[porky]

Hey what if a hobbiest like myself wants to bring his little nano full of corals and a light to trade and sell out of. Is that ok?
Rob, I was hoping you'd bring more than that.
What's going on w/ECC? Is is now Reefscience?

Jason

East Coast Clams is out of business. ReefScience bought my old domain name(not customer list[private info you know])
He then just docked it so when someone tries to go to ecc they get re-directed to ReefScience. Since I had to close the business, I had no use for the domain, and Chad seems like a real standup guy, so I sold the domain name only.

I got 10+ emails for people trying to buy my customer list, But I would never sell my customers email info.

As far as the swap goes I am hoping to make it but with the 2nd child freshly hatched it will be a toss up.

If I can come I am going to bring a 10 gallon nano, with frags and a light, it sure makes it easier for me to sell, trade when you can see the corals under light and tank conditions.

If I come I will probably bring cpative raised items from my prop tank like:

Red-Sea pom pom xenia
Leather frags
Colorfull Carribean Ricordeas.
Assorted sps frags.
Maybe a number of captive split rose anemones also.

Rob

[porky]

East Coast Clams is out of business.
Aw man Bummer! :sad1: Rob, my dealings with you were always top notch!!! You offered some of the best customer service of anybody I have ever dealt with in ANY business. Your attention to customer detail will be missed.
CONGRATS on the newborn by the way. Freshly hatched (lol)
Can you PM me some pics of the Ricordea? What about the roses how big are they?

[shawnz28]

Hey Rob. What ever became of that colt you had got from me a few years ago? Still have it by chance, just curious?

[holeinone1972]

Sold off to many a different individuals.

It is all over the u.s.a by now.

Rob

[spoopy]

I will be bringing a few things to swap or sell. If anyone is interested:
2 green star polyps
several green tree frags
red mushrooms
blue spotted mushrooms
2 colt frags
3 devils hand frags
possible dark green frogspawn frags with at least 4 heads each.

[ogdlow]

ok .... i can not wait.. have only cash to bring.. see evey body soon.

[prance1520]

Hey guys,
I came to the meeting last night with my roomate (this is matt, he was aaron). Just wanted to say we had a good time last night. I'll be showing up at the swap for sure, probably with at small take of trades and such. I just wanted to say that if you guys need any help setting up or anything, let me know, i'd be more than happy to help. Be looking forward to the swap, and to seeing pics of your guys tanks.

Matt

[jester777]

Hi everyone, i was energized to see another swap has been planned!! my tank is in need of some cleaning out (and hopefully some new additions) :D

Besides a small cooler of corals, i'm planning on bringing a few topoffs to offer for sale/trade. If you're in need of a topoff system, check out my products at AutoTopff (http://www.autotopoff.com) and let me know what you're interested in.

[AcroSteve]

Jester, that link appears to be bad.

[jester777]

I was updating my DNS, it's back up now.

[Kreeger1]

still dead jester, I'm in the market for a auto top off
Erik

[jester777]

weird. i rebooted (first time in 81 days) and reset my DNS again. if it's not back up in a few hours i guess i'll figure it out when i get back from camping.

happy holiday :cool:

[Sharpy]

LOL, workin' now....

[Frick-n-Frags]

I'm just going to bring a boatload of stuff and do all swapping/selling/buying from what I find there. I'll bring a 10gal with a light to demo frags too.

[AcroSteve]

Will anybody be bringing any astrea's, nassarius, and/or scarlet hermits?

[Kreeger1]

I'm looking for some hard goods too, like a ice cap 660 or 430 and anything to do with calcium reactor parts, co2 tank, valve ect.

[bluehippotang]

I might have an extra icecap 660 (never used), but it would be ballast only. I have to sort through some of my stuff.

[Kreeger1]

Im looking to run 1 or 2 bulbs over my 180 to supplement light, So should I look at the 430 or 660 it would be 6 foot bulbs by the way
Erik

[seandanekind]

Try the URI A4 ballast.

It's made by IceCap and has the same internals as the 660 except it only costs as much as a 430, cannot be modded to use a dimmer, and does not come with a heat sink plate (you can make your own with aluminum plate form home depot).

[frag38]

I was thinking of bringing some brand new A4 ballasts for $115.00
I also have three piece endcaps, mounts and bulbs.
PM me for more info.

[szwab]

Frag 38
are you a vendor?

[Jordan55]

Anyone got any Blastos?

[zaireguy]

Hi
I am looking for some cucumbers,a purple tang,sandshifting goby(watchman).And what ever ulse i can con my wife out of..lol

Ron

[seandanekind]

Allright guys. I'm ready. I'm setting up a nanocube in the apartment with water and LR from the 200 in my house.

Beware the guy selling the raffle tickets - It's a perfect excuse to wanter around and look for the best zo's and ric's.

[holeinone1972]

OK I am pretty sure I am coming now. A preview of a few pieces I may bring. A few pieces of blue polyped green cap

http://www.celebratechildren.net/bluepolypcap_arger.jpg
Maybe 2 pieces of this.

Some of thisblue polyped birdsnest http://www.celebratechildren.net/bluepolypbird2.jpg

Some neon green stylo:

I hope I can make it.

Rob

[shawnz28]

Hey Rob can I get a peice of the cap and/or the birdsnest?

[TacoKing]

I've got about 6 frags of birdsnest also.

[zaireguy]

Hi
not sure of the name but the neon green acro in the above pic i would love a piece of that :)

Ron

[Kreeger1]

taco king I'll take a piece of the blue polyped birdsnest
Erik

[prance1520]

holeinone1972

If there are dibbs to be called, I love that cap. PM me for an email of pics of things I'll be bringing.

[Sharpy]

I just heard that Quality Corals (www.quality-corals.com) ask to participate in the frag swap and were told they could not attend??:sad2:

What's up with that? I though everyone was trying to make this swap as large and successful as possible?

They seem to have some really nice stuff and get rave reviews concerning the service from those that have bought from them. They are a Ohio vendor and were willing to come all the way from the Toledo area to attend.

I don't know who made this decision, but please reconsider...I really think they deserve our support as well.

Just my $0.02..

[TacoKing]

Sharpy, we just can't fit everyone. I just got the email from Quality Corals yesterday morning asking to participate in the swap. Unfortunately we have already filled up all tables that have been reserved for the vendors. It was nothing personal towards them just the fact that I had to cut off the vendors attending due to space. I hope you can understand.
-Rob

[AcroSteve]

Sounds like it is going to be packed!

[Sharpy]

Man, I'm torn...I am really glad to hear that that many people are expected, bummer though that no room for Quality Corals....hopefully he can make it to the next one....

Thanks for the response TacoKing, sounds like you have your hands full!!!

[szwab]

this swap is shaping up to be a great one. We take steps with each swap getting better (hopefully) we learn with each one and try and build on that experience. Once we graduated from people's basements and livingrooms there was/is quite a financial commitment in getting this type of space. We are already talking about next year but we need to see what works and what doesn't if we need a bigger space or not. I'm sure there will be a comments thread either here or on our website corareef.org
We'll take everything into consideration.It is a balancing act when dealing with vendors, swappers, $$$, raffles, door prizes, and venues. Especially when we are trying for everyone attending to be satisfied swappers, vendors etc.

Acrosteve: it will be buzy but I think we have enough space. This is the largest space we've had so far.

[coralgardener]

Anyone interested in an Atlantic Blue Tang about 4" long

[holeinone1972]

Seeing how there are some sapce limitations with tables, I will bring my own stand with my 16x16x18 nano, this way I only need a plug for electric. Will I be able to get elctricity???????

I am really looking forward to this swap.

Rob

[cward]

Yes, there are be plenty of outlets around the room.

[szwab]

there is power, it would be helpful if you could bring an extension cord and tape if we should need to tape it to the floor. I think we'll have enough table space. but the stand will work just as well

[szwab]

nice timimg Chris :)

[cward]

Thank you... ;)
There is going to be so many people at the swap that I'm looking forward to meeting and talking with. Next year would be cool to have it on a Saturday so we could all hang out afterward's.. I guess we better get thru this one before we start thinking about the next one huh...

See you guys in 9 days........

I will bring my stand, the drain goes down thru it, so actually easier and better for me to use it. Freeing table space for others. I have extensions and everything I need, I just got done making approx 40 frags, and I expect to be there with about 100!!!!

Wohoo! I haver been itching for a good swap.

Rob

[coralgardener]

I also have a yellow pseudochromis I need to get rid of I am turning their 55 into a prop tank by putting it on its back removeing the front then putting the bottom off of a broken tank
as the new front so it will be 20w by 48L by 12h. I've never been to one of these and have nothing exotic to trade, would it be worth packing up a torch, devils hands, trumpet, pavona???
or would I just be laughed at????

[szwab]

nope those are all good there are lots who come with nothing to trade but $$$

[zeppelin]

I am going to be bringing some of my Tufa base rock.
http://www.cofba.org/users/zeppelin/LarrysFormula/saltwater%20tank/Tufa%20Rock/reef_ready_tufa_base_rock%20page.htm

If anyone is interested, bring a rubbermaid, or something to put some in, as I will not have any boxes.

Larry :cool:

[Kreeger1]

I've got 2 frags of pink zoo's and one of a orange photosynthetic gorgonian. I also have a wake2k to trade or sell 75 bucks. Its a month old. I like it but I just picked up a tunze stream pump and thats plenty of movement for my tank now.
Erik

[Scalare102079]

hmmm, debate begins..... Frag Swap or Colts/Packers.?!!! A tough decision to make.

[AcroSteve]

Nope. That is an easy choice.

Oops, I see you are from Indy. So not so easy.

[scrummyotool]

you can always TIVO the game but ya cant the swap

[Sue_OT]

We live in Erie, PA and don't have a local reef club. Can we come to your swap?

I have brought stuff home from as far away as Cleveland, do you think ir's feasible to bring stuff from Columbus (it's about a 4 1/2 hour drive). I am totally unprepared and don't have any frags. Will you guys have frags for sale, too?

Sue

[Kreeger1]

There will be plenty of stuff for sale
Theres always great deals at the swaps.

Everybody is welcome, no matter the distance.

Bring a cooler, there will be lots of frags for sale. I would venture to say that you will not have any trouble finding a cooler full of good deals.

Just remember to plan for about 1 hour after you get home to acclimate your new corals.

[Sue_OT]

Yeah, I'm thinking that if we leave there around 3:00 or so, that will give us time to drive home, get everything settled in, and still be functional for the daily grind on Monday.

Is there a website where I can get directions?

Sue

[szwab]

www.corareef.org click on the "holiday inn" link

ypu'll want to stay until at least 3:15 that is when the raffle is being held

[szwab]

This swap is really picking up speed and is going to be a busy day. I know pretty much at each swap someone has come up with things missing. So I ask that everyone attending keep an eye on your things as well as the people around you.

Also please be considerate with things that you are bringing. Since we don't have a hard count on the number of people attending. We would like to get 2-3 people per table.

Should be a great day for all! See you on Sunday!!

[reeftechie]

I hope so! But I also hope this place is at least 3x as big as Salty Critter, although it was a great swap, was frickin' elbow to elbow!! I love you all but...not that much!:)

[sabalough]

Looks like I will be finaly making it to a swap. as for corals I mostly have tan monti cap, gsp,and green polyped monti dig. to swap.

however I also make pewter castings as a side business. I designed some starfish knobs for my tank stand and have 4 extra pairs avaliable. If a lot of people are interested I can cast up some more. (See my galery for a pic. sorry about the low quality image I dont have a digicam so I placed a pair on the scanner)

I am looking for most anything collorfull as a trade.

Rob, It looks like you did a great job with the raffle items, thanks. We should move each of those that made donations to our cause to our prefered vendor list and order from them when we can. They support us, we support them. Just my .02

Ya, the place is allot bigger. I think we have 40 tables, including a center isle of tables, and I'm pretty sure there is 12 feet of walking space around everything. Should be allot more comfortable for the people walking around with coolers, etc.

Larry :cool:

[stevec999]

This looks like a big one, I am looking for lights and a hood for a 75

[shawnz28]

I will be looking for various acros and monti caps including Acropora granulosa and loripes among others.

thanks,

Phishybusiness carries the GEO line of skimmers and reactors. Get with him at the show, and I'm sure he would talk to you about them and take an order. The GEO stuff is VERY well constructed. Cant go wrong. Will last you a long time.

I am looking for a cheap MH bulb. Preferably a CoralVue 10000K or 14k MH 250 watts or an AB. Anyone have one with little use?

Also looking for a Maxijet 900. I bought a 1200 and its a little too strong. Would consider a trading if the 900 is fairly new. This pump is less than year old, and very little use.

[marcusbigdady]

[zeppelin]

You get that vendor table Marcus?

Larry :cool:

[marcusbigdady]

no vender table, i think we are going to check out how things go at a swap its our first one and go from there..and we just moved so things are kinda crazy right now....

[zeppelin]

Really Marcus, a vendor selling anything, and promoting their business, should get with Rob as he has even half tables available. Youre not bringing ANY coral to sell? You dont plan on setting up at a table at all?

Larry :cool:

[holeinone1972]

I do have 2 frags left of this blue polyp cap.
http://www.celebratechildren.net/bluepolypcap_arger.jpg

I have several other spoken for, but do not plan on bringing extra unless reserved.

Rob

[Jeremy Blaze]

Boy, I am excited!! This will proabaly be my last post till after the swap. I am almost ready. Going to bag everything up before I go to bed tonight. Unless I wasnt to get up real early and do it in the morning. It is a 3 1/2 hr drive, so, I will be getting up early as it is, so I will probably do it tonight. Not much of a morning person ya know!

[Kreeger1]

Getting close, Hope theres enough pink zoos to go around.
Erik

[shawnz28]
