[LOCATION and DATE CHANGE] 3/20 (Sun) Members Only Frag Swap at Cali Kid Corals in Concord

[ridgebackreefer]

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.

My bta detaches if you shoot water like angling the return at it. Hope it helps

 

[MolaMola]

After a couple of tough years tankwise I am bringing...
cabbage leather
green shrooms
tequila sunrise rhodactis (thanks to @Mr2KiEu pre-pandemic)
red shroom with dots
green nephthea
New reefers might want to look up corals ahead of time. All of mine are suitable for pretty much any tank.

Had a question, my wife just got into the hobby. In order for her to participate, does she also need to have a BAR supporter account?

In order to also be able to participate in picking rounds (so you both are picking coral in the same round), yes she would need to also be a member.

But she doesn’t have to be a member to join the swap event socially as your guest, she is more than welcome. And she can pick some of your rounds instead of you if you want.

Unfortunately, I've got a conflict and I won't be able to make it tomorrow. If anybody wants a (smallish) colony to frag, ping me today. I was going to donate the results, and I don't have room for anything new anyway.

Can 3 or so people bring large coolers with ice? I got us a bunch of drinks in cans and bottles.

Would these styro shipping containers from Omaha Steaks work (the 5 gal bucket is for size referencing)?

Sure, and thanks.

There are going to be about 60 people or so if the RSVP’s are to be trusted so an additional couple coolers with ice would be great if anyone else can.

No problem at all - What time should I plan to be there?

Just come at a normal time. Drinks will be there when I get there around 10:30a for setup. Food will arrive around 12:30 when we are getting ready to swap. Sometime in between to let the drinks chill

Yes, I will bring rolling cooler of ice. Let me know if you need anything else like napkins and such since I’ll be getting ice en route

 

[IOnceWasLegend]

@JVU We can bring a cooler with ice as well.

 

[svreef]

I have a 44g Brute free to whoever wants it. I don't want to lug it to the swap if no one wants it, so let me know today.

 

[Flagg37]

These member swaps were some of the most fun a reefer could have. I hope you all enjoy your time tomorrow.

 

[grizfyrfyter]

It's been a few years since I went to one but I love them. I usually let my daughter do the picking for me since I don't really care what I get and she has a blast.

Will we have the 2 club provided security guards that were on watch at the previous swap?
