Featured PLEASE RSVP BY 2/21 for the 2/23 Members-Only Frag Swap at Mission Blue

[Srt4eric]

Not saying don’t do it. But. Even if people wanted a frag. They would have to go to bar for containers. And how are they supposed to frag it ? Just rip off a chunk ? Kinda a mess.

I didn't read the part of it in a bucket and not in containers.

Pardon my ignorance, but what is "TL;DL"?

It’s TL;DR (not DL). It’s internet slang for “Too long, didn’t read”. It’s used to denote that what follows is a summary of a long post in one sentence for people who don’t want to read the whole thing

I want to bring a bunch of Green Monti Cap for "Pay it forward". Is it okay for me to bring it in a 5 gallon bucket and let people take what they want? I can't pack all of it in containers.
Any suggestions on how I can get it distributed?

You need a way to distribute it, unless you intend to have 1 person to take your whole bucket (including the bucket). So you would need to cut it up for people and have some kind of containers for people with enough water. Cutting up, containering, and labeling is 90% of the work of sharing frags.

Oh, so it's like what srt4eric did with my post???
Who thinks of crap (TL;DR) anyways?

Ok. Got it. Maybe I won't bring it then.

Yes, correct when it comes to a frag swap, but not if I PIF from home.

It might just end up in the trash instead if people don't want it.

 

[dochou]

This might be Good for a frag workshop instead?

Are we having a frag workshop soon?

Are you running a calcium reactor? You could bleach, rinse well, and add to the calcium reactor.

I have some corals I want to bring but I feel like they're a bit small. I have enough healthy, ok-sized corals to participate but kind of iffy on some others. Any opinions?

- King Kong / rainbow yuma - They split like crazy but stay penny-sized for me. I have 3 of them on plugs, should I bring them as bonus?

- I took a frag off my carduus where it was growing in the wrong direction, but it's small, maybe 1/2 inch

- I have a couple Sunkists that are still pretty small but already bouncing really quite well - a thick ring of bubbles around the whole coral.

What do you guys think?


Aside from those iffy pieces, I have a well-encrusted acro frag, 1-2 GMK frags, 2 metallic green micro alveopora, a frag of fire and ice Blastomussa merletti, and two fat jawbreakers with red on them

I agree with @dangalang about using them as media

You could also use them as frag tiles, they're great for encrusting corals or zoas/shrooms

Pardon my ignorance, but what is "TL;DL"?

I'm going to guess this was corrected in my original post; but TL;DR is "Too long, didn't read." Sorry, I'm terminally online sometimes so I forgot to clarify.

Don’t worry, I knew what it was

 

[RyanJoshua]

How long do these usually last? Is anyone from the Gilroy/Morgan Hill area planning on going?

We are typically done by 2-3pm. Each swap can be a little different.

These posts are so silly, just bring them.

I’ll take the Sunkist bounces if you don’t think anyone wants them.
