He are some of the frags we will be offering. Most will be starting at ONLY $10! We plan on bringing more corals then ever this year, and having at least 200 $10 frags!
We will be wearing our bright orange shirts as usual so you can find us in a crowd!

These pictures were taken in a bit of a hurry so sorry if they are not supper awesome. I assure you that they look better in person! :)

Please excuse the questions...but I haven't been able to make a meeting recently and have missed (or can't find) more info about the swap..

The club is going to have how many tables, with how much room left for member "stuff?"

The club is going to have what for a tank? Members can bring corals and put in like before? How much space?

The reason I ask is I may have somewhere between 20-40 frags...which could be pretty "obtrusive" if there's not much space. Worst case, maybe somebody has a 20L I can borrow?? I could take my 2ft T5, and make a full size frag rack. It would be plenty of room for my stuff and more for any other members. I may wind up just buying a 20L but I've been holding out for the $1/gal sale at Petco again.

What about water? We are supplying water to vendors again, I assume. Who is bringing how much, it and how much is needed? I ask because I've got a few of the 5gal containers I could bring.

Did not see many pre sale threads. I am looking for some utter chaos palys and a good price on a maxima clam. Is the guy that had a bunch at the Mtrc swap going to be at yours. Thanks

The club is going to have how many tables, with how much room left for member "stuff?"As many needed as possible.

The club is going to have what for a tank? Members can bring corals and put in like before? How much space? 30"x12"x6", it is for club member corals and club corals. You might want to consider having your own tank with "20-40" frags.

I am bringing around 40-50 gallons, if more is needed I will attempt to have more. Are you offering empty or full containers?

The club owns Utter Chaos and will have at least one polyp for sale. I think the vendor your referring to is Pacific East Aquaculture, no that vendor will not be at our swap...unfortunately.

I bought a cpl polyps recently, and I've already got 4 now, but won't have enough to frag out by the swap. If you don't get any in the next month or so and plan a trip up this way, let me know.

I can bring full or empty...whichever is needed...but just kinda need to know ahead if it's RO water needed, so I can make it up.
Based on what you're saying, it may be best for me to plan on bringing or borrowing a 20L...in which case I need to be there to set up Friday, or is early Saturday ok? I will have to bring water for the 20L, so that may bite into what I can bring otherwise..but let me know if there's a water shortage and I will make some kind of arrangements. Worst case, I can put a 55g drum in the back of the truck and fill it up. :)
I have a 20l u could use
That would be awesome. Is it empty now, or what? willing to sell it? :) I'll send you a PM with my phone number.

As of now I'm not sure how much water we went through last year, I think I asked Eddie at last months meeting but I failed to write the answer down.

From my experience, Friday set up is the best option to go with.

I'll be on vacation out that way this week and was wondering if there's any reason I couldn't stop by. Is it just for your local reef club members? I'd love to come home with a few frags.

Seth's thank holds 100 gallons, I'm going to begin filling it Tuesday so by Friday morning it should be ready and yes I'm going to pull it on my trailer. We are going to need containers to pump the water into at the church. I have 2 44 gallon Brute containers.
