badxgillen Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 The May meeting Secrets of Reef Keeping by Richard Ross is coming up! And as you may or may not know there is going to be a frag swap going on at this event so now is a good time to let me get you in tune with how to have a successful coral exchange. I personally recommend posting up a picture of what you have to trade and underneath it include a list of a few things you are interested in for a trade, try to be open as the exact coral you want may not be available at the time but there are many "Fish" in the sea so keep your eyes peeled for something you didn't know you wanted. Once you have negotiated a trade with some one get their club screen name and their real world name and give them yours, this way when you are at the meeting you will be able to identify each other via name tags and the coolers at our sides. As far as packaging the corals for the swap I would recommend using a small cooler or a styrofoam box for transport. Tupperware are fine if the vehicle is kept warm during travel. I would also advise double bagging the corals especially hard ones with edges or points. And it never hurts to bring a bag of extra water just in case you need it for your frags or you get something unexpected at the swap. This is also a time to Share the Love and simply give away or donate corals to those who may need something you don't, should be a decent crowd of reefers there. So lets get to fragging a few corals folks, its just around the corner and you want those corals to have a bit of healing time right!? I am looking forward to this one. Also Gotta give a shout out as we are also grateful to the Boys & Girls Clubs of Southwest Washington - Clinton & Gloria John Clubhouse for providing the use of their Auditorium for these exciting events! **************************************************************************************** Location: Boys & Girls Clubs of Southwest Washington - Clinton & Gloria John Clubhouse Address: 409 NE Anderson St, Vancouver, WA 98665 – (off Hazel Dell Ave.)https://www.google.c...dHMDNkQ9RcIfDAL Date: Saturday, May 14th, 2016 Time: 2:00PM to 5:00PM Free Admission!

milesmiles902 Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Hey everyone, Here are some of the goodies I am willing to trade. Most of them were fragged in the last couple days. Should look better in a couple weeks. Two heads: Part of this one: Three duncans with about 3-5 heads each, also that zooanthid: Some of this birdsnest: I am looking for sticks of all types. Small sticks, round stick, colored sticks, sticky sticks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 I am going to be up for the event and don't have much to trade right now, but will be looking for things to buy. If anyone has any nice pulsing xenia I would love to get some. Also looking for Acropora millepora and Montipora capricornis (free of nudibranchs or course). I might be talked into other stuff as well. I do have a lot of freshwater fish I could trade if anyone has any non saltwater tanks they are looking to add new fish to and I have some amazing Bettas. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LadySaber Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 Will try to make it. My better half is having surgery tomorrow so it will depend on how she feels if I will make it. If I can I will be looking to buy some easy to care for things. Lol oh was just reminded I'm moving tanks this weekend. Ok along with the surgery and moving tanks I will try to be there.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badxgillen Posted May 11, 2016 Author Share Posted May 11, 2016 I will bring some softies just in case you show up, do you have any mushroom corals up for trade by chance? And Paratore, is there any chance I could snag a little piece of that superman stag? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadySaber Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 If your asking me if I have some mushrooms to trade unfortunately I don't I had a meltdown in the tank with a ton of my mushrooms all the sudden bleaching/making a run for it or just plain melting. I know that my heater died and I had no idea so my water was cold (below 72)for sometime..and the cat had chewed the cord to the temp probe so I didn't realize it. That's why I'm moving the tank since it basically crashed and I want to changed it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Paratore, is there any chance I could snag a little piece of that superman stag? I still owe you the superman and lavender mint sarmentosa for the Cali tort and bam Bams you gave me! So of course I have a frag for you! Still not 100% sure I'll make it...again.... I'm buying a truck this weekend and need my dads help getting it. She's a broken truck lol and I need to use his trailer. Anyways if I can't make it, I'll bring your frags back to corvallis this weekend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kknight Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 What kind of corals are you looking for Karen? I have some zoas cut already, maybe a tiny baby sarco? Zoas would be awesome. I'm not sure what a Saco is , but if its easy to care for sounds good ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badxgillen Posted May 14, 2016 Author Share Posted May 14, 2016 Sarco is short for Sarcophyton Toadstool Leather coral, not the most desirable coral but a softy and easy to keep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emerald525 Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 Toadstools are great for school tanks. I got some nice ricordias from Steve that he gave me that I could pass along to the school. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
