What did you get at the regional swap?

[sfsuphysics]

I have to ask what happened on the last round of picks? As we entered we were instructed to take only ONE coral. As I was looking at a coral, a guy with a tub was loading up with everything he could get his hands on (how rude!!) then everyone grabbed all they could. Did I miss something?

Blame me for this, I saw the size of the groups and I have enough experience with swaps to know exactly what people do in a free for all. There are people who look at labels and grab what they want, and there are those who grab everything then decide if they want it. I figured a "grab one" approach would be best to ensure everyone who wanted an extra coral got one.

For last round, I got 2 at the zoa table and only to find them to be mine, so I just put it back lol

The thing to do is have like 2 less groups. Hard to know how many people will show up and how many groups there should be. Altering the groups after people pick is always tricky.

It was still fun!! What if instead of random groups, you get grouped by when you preregister? Charge full price to all and first to register- first to pick?

Good thing you're upgrading to the 100 gallon tank. You're going to be running out of room.

Bleached red dragon with STN on the bottom and very thin skin. Most likely nutrient deficiencies and stress from the fragging.

What I would like to know is....are you the Red Dragon whisperer?

Probably not, since this will be my 3rd attempt at this, but we'll see how it does this time.

Through no fault of your own, you're not off to a good start this time either.

We're sorry we all bad-mouthed you while discussing the person that beat us to it.

I'll do my best to bring it back. I tried to place it in a location where it will thrive and have room to slowly grow.
