badxgillen Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 As mentioned in the December meeting thread the holiday party would make an opportune place/time to have a frag swap so lets get one started here. These are the general guidelines I like to recommend for these coral exchanges. If you would like, you can do your trading on the fly by just bringing by a few pieces and hoping that some one will have a desirable coral you want...Or better yet, you can post up what you have to trade and work out a preemptive exchange here on the forums, that method always works best for me. You can feel free to use this thread to post your trade-ables in or start a thread of your own. But First, let me get you some of Bert's basis tips for success here. 1.) make an attempt to have a fragment of reasonable size and health and try and get things cut and ready a few days to a week ahead of time to have the wounds healed up for the exchange. And double/triple check for pest invertebrates or algaes before sending your corals out, we try to keep invasives to a minimum here...And once you get your frags home, just in case, always acclimate the specimens then dip the corals before you put them into your personal aquarium. QT Aquariums are best but good old Revive, Coral RX, Melafix, Iodine, or Bayer will do much better at prevention than nothing. 2.) Try to package your corals appropriately. This can mean not putting a spiny coral like birds nest into a thin dollar store bag or not utilizing insulation on an extended cold or warm trip. Try a small cooler or Styrofoam. If you can't find either of these and the destination is a long distance, keep the vehicle air conditioned or heated appropriately. As far as packaging goes you can double bag and use thicker mil plastics, or something else like a Tupperware or specimen container. I have even used washed out yogurt or cottage cheese containers that stack well inside the coolers. Just use something that will work, nothing like losing a nice and colorful animal because the bag got too cold and leaked all the water out on the way home. 3.)Do your best to be courteous and fair to one another by not take advantage of each others ignorance or generosity. These are people of all levels in the hobby so give them the benefit of your knowledge and experience instead of the cold shoulder. And speaking of generosity, that giving nature has always been smiled upon here at PNWMAS and pay it forward tends comes back around these parts. Well, the meeting is closing in fast, less than two weeks yeah. So Let's see em folks, Whatcha Got!? Corals that is! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashy Fins Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 Looking for dragon soul favia, the classic color pattern. Would like a few eyes. Upscales fixed me up! Long shot, but fruit loops zoas? I haven’t seen them in ages and don’t even know what they go for anymore, but they were always a fave of mine. Golden Basket to the rescue! $ for trade, because I don’t have enough healthy corals right now to frag/trade anything. Recently moved and had multiple things go wrong; long story short, killed some corals and made the ones that lived very mad. My tank is in recovery mode. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pdxmonkeyboy Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 i have a ton of zoas but i cant make it to the event :( Jeremy i have red planet and a short cake. they just started really growing so i will put you on the list. I also owe our prez mr. xgillen for his graciousness at the last meeting. You will have to make it over and see if there is anything you covet. Of course the really nice stuff is taking fo' ever to grow. The acid trip milli is spectacular but it super finicky. Same with the short cake. the colors are amazing but it certainly does like to stop growing. Anyways, always great to see people sharing. I feel at times people get so caught up in the latest named coral they see dollar signs and hord things. We are really really lucky to have a club like this!! cheerspdxmbSent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lps, blastos, gold torch, plate corals, other non-SPS coral. my pictures are bad, I can try to snap some better ones if anyone has interest.

I just need to repopulate the top of my arch where I took the most damage. It's weird because I had several acro's make it through all this but lost every single easy sps. Guess they didn't like their flesh being forcibly stripped off by that beak lol. 😥 I can cut you a chunk of neon green birdsnest if you want? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
