Just sent payment. Think I’m finally ready to take the plunge and set up a table!

What are the requirements restrictions, etc fit setting up a frag tank at the swap?

Thanks!

Our swap is still over five months away we have already had a great response to vendors requesting tables for our upcoming event.  As of now we are putting a hold on confirming any additional vendors until we can get back into the new rental location to confirm how many more spots we can support comfortably.  Please do not just send money for a table without reaching out to me first.  I have started a wait list and will be reaching out to people in the order we received the original requests.  If you want to be added to the wait list let me know.  If you have any questions feel free to send me a pm. 

Thanks.

Just went frag crazy to replenish my racks and give plenty of time for things to heal before the swap!
   Or for anyone that can’t  wait that long... ;)

A few Sexy Corals Orange Passion, a normal sized (1”) JF Howewrecker since all my other “frags” are now huge mini colonies (PM for pics and pricing).
JF Frankie’s  Kryptonite, JF /Tyree Bonsai, JF Hugo’s Rainbow Staghorn,
And a new Walt Disney too since the old “frags” are huge like the Homewreckers I didn’t sell this Summer. (That’s what’s cool about frags. If they don’t sell you just end up with more colonies! I started with about 8-10 frags in the Spring and sold 4-6 over the Summer. The leftovers are about racquetball sized already!)

   I’ll be firing up the saw later this week for things that require that.

Gonna cut another JF Yellow Submarine Favia for those that were waiting get at me if you want me to hold it. They go fast.

Some frags of the JF Top Fuel Favia and maybe a Rainbow Chalice Frag or two from my big one. A Red Lightning? Chalice from Aqua SD, and a gorgeous frag or three from the My Miami I got from Than at Tidal Gardens about 3 years ago.
And definitely the JF Vino Monti. And maybe the JF psycho Rim Favia, JF Shock wave Chalice and the JF Raging Melon Chalice.
And this list doesn’t even include all the frags that have already been growing out.
I’ve never done Reef Trader and I’d rather just get pre-orders here. If you want to see the whole list or need pricing or even just want to stop by to check it all out, PM me.


Oh! Almost forgot! my first named coral! Drum roll please....
   Crazy Toby’s Nuclear Chewbacca Millis!
 Imagine a cross between an Aqua SD Rainbow Milli and a JF Solar Flare but brighter and WAY shaggier. (And cheaper than the well know names... for now)

..... and I even cut my HUGE WWC OG  bounce. Fingers crossed I end up with 3 to sell and one to grow out. Believe it or not, I’ve never cut a shroom before. In 30+ years of doing this I always just waited on babies. But this thing was 4+” in diameter and it just had to happen.

I’ll try to get some pics up later if I can find time and energy... long couple of months

Anyone tried reeftrader in the last couple days? I have been getting a browser error and it will not come up. Same error on three different browsers so the site is messed up.
