@MolaMola @Piper @B the Nano Reefer
Thank you guys so much for the offer of frags disks/plugs! Sorry for the silence. I dropped off the radar for a few days there. Ended up just cutting some small pieces of dry rock up to attach coral to. See you all Sunday!

I can bring a 6-ft folding table if needed.

Yes, please do. I also asked for tables/chairs in the volunteer thread for this event.

 

[JVU]

I’m planning to order Mountain Mike’s for pizza/salad and sodas/waters for the event. There will be a couple veggie and plain cheese pizzas. If you have any more specific requests or dietary issues PM me.

 

[JustinBolton]

I cannot attend last minute work trip out of town, next time.

Thanks for letting us know. Please change your RSVP above to No. Too hard to keep track without that being updated.

 

[Michael Hans]

Looking forward to it.

@JVU are we doing "ultra" frags for the bonus rounds?

And if so, where is the list of "ultra" frags

And if so, where is the list of "ultra" frags

We are going to use the same list from the last swap. I'll dig through and find it and post it shortly.

Bonus/Ultra coral information below and here

Frag Swap Bonus & Ultra Coral List

So we have a frag swap coming, and for those who have never heard of or seen how this works occasionally there are some corals that are a bit more desirable than others for whatever reason. In order to try and get more of these corals circulating in frag swaps a little extra incentive is...

Are we having a bonus round?

 

[Srt4eric]

Are we having a bonus round?

Yep. Check out my link above to see rules and lists of "bonus" and "ultra" Coral.

 

[JVU]

Are we having a bonus round?

Yes! Sorry for the poor communication about bonus rounds for this swap. Initially we were thinking not to do them but there is interest and Eric volunteered to help with it, so we are. We are going to have bonus corals and bonus rounds, same rules as before. @Srt4eric gave some additional links.

For those of you unfamiliar, you can read about them but it’s one of those things that makes more sense to see it in action. Bottom line is that even if you don’t participate in bringing bonus coral you still can benefit from it and it doesn’t really change anything else so you don’t need to worry about it.

 

[rdriggett]

I’m considering coming to my first frag swap but I want to make sure my frags are large enough. Is this sufficient? (back green chalice not the front tiny monti). I’ll of course find a third frag to bring.

 

[IOnceWasLegend]

You're fine.

 

[Daboys2007]

Very excited to be able to join this Swap as it’ll be my 1st one!

I want to bring a RBTA, so I need to get the foot to release from my rockwork, but if I’m able to get that far, what’s the best way to bring it?

Sorry for the newbie ques.

No question with the intent to learn ever needs to be apologized for.

If you can get the foot off, I usually put it in a nem cup until I'm ready to transport it, then put it in a small deli container similar to other coral. Give it a little bit to let the foot attach to the side before transport, and then you're good to go.

Great - thx for the tips and appreciate all the info!
