Can you still come if you do not have frags to trade? and will people be selling frags or just trading them?

Bocaswim · #7 10/02/2003, 02:24 PM

Hi Folks,

Just getting back into the hobby, no frags to trade but willing to buy, can I still come?

Of course you can! You just have to be a member or pay $5 to get in....I think its 5 bux, its well worth the $ IMO.

FragGuy · #9 10/06/2003, 10:59 AM

That's correct Dude. Everyone is invited in, frags or no frags.
You can buy if you don't have anything to trade.

Juan-Carlos · #10 10/08/2003, 05:15 PM

Double post sorry.

Juan-Carlos · #11 10/08/2003, 05:26 PM

Hey, I at the moment dont have really any frags to trade since I had to take all my large tanks down and only have a 16g reef now. I do however have many herps, I have some Beautiful Captive bred baby leopard geckos (Eublepharis macularius) I have 3 high yellow babies, 2 Tremper albinos 3 months old, I also have a couple juviniles and some adults and sub-adults. I dont know if many of you are into reptiles, so thats why I post this here now. I will only take them if someone is interested. So let me know! For those of you who dont know the price range for these guys its normally: high yellow babies $20-$35, Tremper albinos go for about $50-$75, sub adults and adults yellows go for about $50-$60 and albinos sub adults for about $80-$100 ... I'm more interested in trading for frags or something, But if your interested in purchasing and if its ok with the board of directors for the event then I can sell them for:
Baby high yellow $14.00 , The albinos 3 months old for $35.00
Sub-adult high yellows for $35.00 and sub-adult albinos for $50.00.

If anyone has any questions on their care please let me know. They are one of the easyest of the reptile species to keep, they dont bite, they are handable and do not climb up glass. they come from eastern Iran, through south eastern Afghanistan, Pakistan, and into north western India.

Thank you,

Juan-Carlos,

That's a cute critter and I'm not into herps, but this event is only for marine organisms typically found in home aquaria.

You are still welcome to join us and if you are interested in some of the marine organisms at the event you can discuss with the person your Geckos to see if they are interested. You can bring pictures if you like so that you can show the person what they look like.

Sorry,

Hope you can still join us.

Rafael

Juan-Carlos · #13 10/09/2003, 09:36 AM

Hi Saltylake,

Depending on where you are in Miami, the IGFA Fishing Hall of Fame should not be very far for you. Just take 95 North to Griffen Rd. and you are going to turn left on Angler's Ave. follow the road around to the Hall of fame on your left.

Sounds like you have lots of goodies to bring. Just remember that you need to submit the form to Rafael.

Not sure what everyone is bringing but I know after seeing several members tanks there will be lots to choose from.

If you are interested in becoming a member you will have that option at the meet.

Hope to see you there.

saltylake · #17 10/12/2003, 11:32 PM

also i need to send the forum by when?

FragGuy · #18 10/13/2003, 09:01 AM

SaltyLake,

This is the web page on the club's site that has information on the event. Look at the right side of the page about half way down. At the bottom in the middle is the address to IGFA. It's right across Ft. Lauderdale airport and next to Bass Pro Shops to give you some landmarks.

Download the form on the site, fill it out and email it to me.

http://www.fmas1955.org/Pages/whatshapp.html

As far as what people are looking for, the range of interest in the club goes from fish to sps reefs and everything in between. Also there should be lots of new faces at the event as well.

Hope to see you there.

Rafael

victorgar · #19 10/15/2003, 10:09 PM

How many members will be trading or selling sps frags? Whats the average price? I'm new with sps corals.

victorgar · #20 10/15/2003, 10:13 PM

Anyone from Miami that will like to sell some sps frags?

Juan-Carlos · #21 10/18/2003, 01:54 AM

Well, almost time and I cant wait. Quick question rafael do you have to reply back after I sent you the form for the frags i'm taking?? hope not, cause I got no reply.

missy1101 · #22 10/18/2003, 04:36 PM

Well the first annual FMAS Swap and sale was a success.
I had a great time. It was nice meeting all the new people and I will be looking forward to seeing you all at the meetings. Thank you to Rafael, Herman, and Kara for getting this together, and thanks to everyone who participated. Cant wait till we do it again.

Juan-Carlos · #23 10/18/2003, 05:08 PM

Had a great time, Great event, Great people, and great frags, cant wait till next year!

Treeman · #24 10/19/2003, 06:55 AM

YES! It was a great time. We should do the frags trade/swap every six months or so. I couldn't believe how fast most things were selling. Thank you to everybody that helped set this up.
