jgf86123 Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 A far as the frag dying thing. Maybe the selected shop would host a fragging party. Everyone could come eat pizza and take their frags home with them. I know we would. That would be kinda cool I love this idea.... I propose the next one be some kind of higher end acro...

Emerald525 Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Davey Jones has offered to be next Eddie. They are just trying to think about what people might be interested in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wegotjs Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 I think we should draw for the sponsor to make it fair. We ask them If they would like to participate and if they don't want to , we draw another sponsor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emerald525 Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Well, Jon, in Eddie's original thread it was asked who wanted to be a volunteer and they offered and are looking into it. I think that's fair as long as we work with every sponsor who wants to do this. I like your suggestion though and I'm easy. Whatever the majority wants and thinks is completely fine with me.

jgf86123 Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 I think since DJL did offer first, they get their turn this time around, after that we can draw names. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gawf4fun Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Sounds like it's a winner winner chicken dinner for everyone! Definately interested when it gets off the ground. Great idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reef165 Posted January 9, 2011 Author Share Posted January 9, 2011 All sounds good, I was just thinking that it's been over 3 weeks sincxe DJL has offered but haven't herd anything more, and I would like to have another one of these soon! The colonie doesn't half to please everyone, just hasto be a high end coral, be able to be fraged into 15 to 25 frags, and since it will be high end, thinking a price of $300 to $600 retail for the Colonie is about what should be spent.

reef165 Posted January 17, 2011 Author Share Posted January 17, 2011 I would really like to get this idea off the ground, I say we draw a name and get the ball rolling. I am going to draw a name from all the LFS sponcers, contact them and see what they have or can get then present it to the group. I'll let you know when I have confermation from the sponcer.

jgf86123 Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Eddie, I talked to Dave today and he's trying to find us the perfect colony, thats why it's taking so long, he can't find one that he feels is unique enough for us lol, he wants to make this special for us, so I say give him a couple more weeks before we try another LFS.

Emerald525 Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Eddie that's fine if you and others want to get another one going before the Davy Jones one gets off the ground. I know it's been a few weeks. I have talked to Dave and Doug and they have been trying to find the right colony. I also am in no hurry as I have been pretty involved with the maxi-mini group buy, the TFT program,hosting the meeting etc. etc. Dave has also been most helpful with the TFT project and used his own time to find the sump and put baffles in for us.

reef165 Posted January 17, 2011 Author Share Posted January 17, 2011 I understand about wanting Davy Jones to do it, but it has been a month, so I am in contact with the sponcer that I picked out of the hat and am going with him this month, If Dave finds something, he can contact me and we/I will use him for next month for sure.

Mandinga Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 sounds like a good experience. +1 for a high end montipora/acro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Topher Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Great idea. If I could toss an amendment into the ring - I would propose that a list of participants be made and then have a random drawing for the number of available spots with a few alternates in case people drop out at the last minute. It would' date=' more or less, give everyone who wants to participate an even chance. Also I'd say it's buyer beware no matter who frags it if the pieces die or whatever - that draws a pretty good line in the sand.[/quote'] in addition, whoever was left out of the previous moths buy should have first right of refusal for the following month the a drawing to fill the rest of the spaces available Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoobtoSalt Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 I'm not going to be in for any of the SPS. I've had nothing but bad luck with most of it. Plus there are a lot of people on here that are having issues as well. When you get a vendor with some sweet acan colonies that can be fragged up let me know.

Emerald525 Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Yeah I'm going to bow out of the sps I have too many sps already that I have bought in for and my tank is still not up Tim's got great taste in corals so all you colored stick lovers should jump on this! I like your idea Jackaninny of a raffle with alternates except , I think the person organizing (in this case reef165) and the person fragging it (probably Tim this time so not applicable) should be on the list automatically.

reef165 Posted October 19, 2011 Author Share Posted October 19, 2011 What ever happened to this? I have wondered for a while now. I can start it back up if people are still interested. I am not going to put my name in the hat, as it would not be right IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pantherguy30 Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 I'd be interested depending on what's selected for the next round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
