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

Change your rsvp to a +1

I get that part, but is it okay if my plus one isn't part of the club?

A lot of people bring their kids/partners who aren’t members. He can come as your +1. Just can’t participate in the actual swapping part

Yes. People often bring their kids or spouses who aren’t reefers

cool cool! thank you

 

[Ayman]

Sounds good to me, more prizes for people to win.

Just confirming i will be bringing the clowns to the the frag swap?

 

[Srt4eric]

@Woeday @Ayman are either of you planning on brining a tank of some kind to keep these in? It's not very nice to keep them in bags the entire time

 

[Ayman]

I do not have a tank to easily bring.
What was the plan for @Woeday to bring his pairs?

 

[MarcosD]

Maybe we can put each pair into a 2 gallon bucket? I’m bringing a clown that I’m giving to a member here and that was my plan. Definitely like the bucket over zip loc bag idea. But also keep in mind when we buy fish online they’re in a bag overnight for ~20hrs

yeah thats what I was thinking I'd bet they'd be fine but maybe some small 5 gal tanks w cheap 50w heaters would be easy ish to bring

 

[tribbitt]

Last time were they in bags in a heated tank? Not sure if I’m remembering correctly.

@Srt4eric If you think it makes sense, we could temporarily set the 13.5 up. I'm not opposed

I set up that tank last time. I was trying to get out of it this time

Are mushrooms and utter chaos zoa, allowed in the swap??

Why not?

 

[tribbitt]

Are mushrooms and utter chaos zoa, allowed in the swap??

As long as it's not on the prohibited list and it's a cnidarian. I don't think we allow sponges or macro into the main swap, but zoas and shrooms are fine

I set up that tank last time. I was trying to get out of it this time

OK that's fine. Just was trying to think of something for the clowns

 

[Mr. Seahorse]

A 5 gallon bucket may work.

 

[IOnceWasLegend]

Just a reminder, if you haven't RSVP'd yet, PLEASE DO SO NO LATER THAN 5 PM TOMORROW, 2/21. I'll be making the check-in list then, and not being on it may cause delays. Cheers, all!

Fill the 5 gallon bucket with sink water, small heater, and dunk the bags?

Thank you @Coral Hub (Nathan) for your donation to this event!

He will be donating (3) 16oz bottles of phyto and an 8oz bottle of copepods.

Also, he's going to be giving BAR an opportunity for a special savings for swap attendees! So you'll need to be there to take advantage of the opportunity to save a nice chunk. Thanks Nathan!

Random question - does anyone have an easy/cheap/fast recommendation for the little bits of foam that are used to hang SPS/delicate frags upside down in containers? Like something I can get at home depot or amazon and cut up?
