Event location: Big Fish Custom Acrylic Aquariums, 655 Hembree Parkway, Suite A Roswell, GA 30076
Date & Time: Saturday May 3rd - 10am - 2pm
Food: Nick's Smokehouse BBQ will be on site for lunch - Details to follow.
This is a true frag swap, so when replying to this thread to RSVP attendance - Please indicate if you will be bringing corals to trade. What if you don't have any corals to trade? No Problem! Members can elect to sell instead. Also, you don't have to trade coral for coral, for instance I will be trading a number of dragon soul torches for smiles (see me at the event) or donations to Gray's Reef! Why stop at corals? Bring your new or used equipment and sell or trade as well!

We will also be demonstrating how to frag and dip a variety of corals. Do you have something overgrowing your tank that you know other reefers would love to have? Please message @Cook . We are currently seeking an encruster coral of some kind, montipora, leptoseris, etc.. that we could use for members that would like to participate in a couple of contests we will hold during the rest of the year. After the demonstrations, frags will be available to supporting members first, and any remaining corals will be available for all attendees afterwards. The Frag demonstration corals will be FREE. We are still determining whether the contest corals will also be free or require a small payment to participate.

Charitable donations: We will be taking donations for Gray's Reef National Marine Sanctuary during the event and for the month of May. More info on Gray's Reef to follow, we plan to schedule an interactive virtual presentation later in May. Purchase an ARC T-shirt at the event and a portion of your purchase will go to Gray's as well.

What should you bring? A cooler, popup tent if you have one, sunscreen, and chairs. In case of rain we will move indoors.

What do you need to do now? 1) RSVP with a reply to this thread with the total number of people attending. 2) Indicate whether you will be bringing corals to swap / sell. 3) Indicate whether you will be bringing equipment to swap / sell.

Hi,
I would like to RSVP for 2, No Coral or No Equipment.

 

[Hunna]

What I plan on bringing:

At least the front row of this rack, which was cut March 14. The back row was recent, so may or may not bring them.


2 Gonzo Golden Dragons



Blue chalice frags. If I bring others, they will be much smaller than this one


A few different sizes of pulsing Xenia


Working on having a few King Kong Yumas. Have this little one ready, a 2”+ one in a mushroom cage currently, and going to cut at least 1 more today


3 polyps of whatever these zoas are


I’m going to try to cut a few different mushrooms as well, but no promises they will be ready to go. Will also bring a few clippings of 3 macros: grape Caulerpa, pink flamingo, and red bush Gracilaria.

I’m going bring my little Eshopps Deskmate to use as a frag tank, and will have a small table and a generator if anyone else would like use. It will be under a pop up canopy, it’s a bit wonky but shade is shade

 

[Jikkermanccini]

RSVP for one.
No coral, will be bringing some reef-related artwork and maybe some drygoods as well as some chaeto and grape caulerpa.

 

[Deep Sea Horizon Reef]

I'll be bringing three (most likely) people but no corals - cash works though! I will also have an unused and unopened UV sterilizer (aqua ultraviolet 25 watt) up for grabs - accepting both cash and trades. Also I'm going to be coming straight from a study session for my AP exam - the dedication is real
