That was so much fun! Thank you Cali Kid @Cbruno80 for having us, for lunch, and for making it family friendly.

Congrats to the winners, those were some epic raffle prizes!

 

[gmdcdvm]

Awesome time today. A big thank you to everyone! Great to meet some new people and see some I met before. Looking forward to the the next one.

Great time today - thanks to the CaliKid crew for all you did and BAR organizers for the fun event! Got a bunch of cool corals for students to add to our classroom tanks. They are staying the night at my house, getting dipped before school, then kids currently manning the QT will add them. I appreciate the frags some members brought just for us. Lastly, thank you to the people who spoke with my 7th grade student who came during the swapping rounds. She was very excited to help me select frags and really liked getting to describe what she has done so far to take care of tanks. She and her mom sent me thank you messages about her experience.

I doubt it was any of us but my first round pick did go missing from my orange cooler next to the registration table.

Just a reminder to everyone to keep an eye on your stuff...

Yeah, this was not cool. Especially since there was a frag left behind immediately above the cooler, suggesting someone didn't like what they got and took matters into their own hands.

 

[goonie0]

Man, that's not cool =(

Thanks to the everyone who made this an awesome event. It was my first BAR event and, an indication of a well-run event, my wife and 2 girls really enjoyed it and are interested in coming to future events.

And very happy that I have added some new additions to my tank

 

[dioworld]

Wow. Looks fun.
Was planning to come to see if there's any free coral and maybe buy some for my 100G empty tank. Too bad my daughter had a fever last night.
Maybe next time, glad to see the kids are having a fun time too

Can't wait to see how that pectinia looks once you grow it out! Thanks so much everyone who volunteered and brought things to swap. Thanks @Cbruno80 for hosting and feeding us.

@Srt4eric jeez I put my ugly bucket over there since I thought it was safe! What got taken?

A mini colony of The Vinh

Thanks @Cbruno80 for hosting!! The clownfish I won are exploring their new home and will hopefully choose one of the many anemones to settle down in.

Definitely didn't end up in my bucket then. Hopefully someone else here has a colony that we can get you a replacement from.

Is there any camera nearby that maybe picked up who took it?

Not that big of a deal. Someone wanted it more than I did. Just hope it grows well for them.

I can frag you a mini colony of the Vinh. Let me know.

Just wanted to say thank you to Calikid and to the BAR organizers and volunteers. This was my first frag swap and had a really great time. It is even wife and kid approved! Thank you for such a family friendly event and everyone was very friendly. I look forward to more BAR events in the future.

Glad all of you had fun! I was planning on going but having to drive all the way from Gilroy in the rain made think twice. Yes i'm a wuss.
