How does a frag swap work.... I've never been to one.

How does a frag swap work.... I've never been to one.

Basically you can come with no frags or bring frags and either trade with people who want to trade or buy frags from people who are selling them.

A lot of people pre-plan their trades out by posting what they are bringing

Tue, 12th Feb 2008, 09:22 PM

ALRIGHT! just set up a new tank for corals this month, and looking for some frags, ha coincidence, i think not :)

It was nice to meet people and put faces to names. Hope the next frag swap I will be able to have a tank to put stuff in. Still not to familiar with SPS and LPS. This hobby takes alot of research. Thanks for everyone who answered my questions. Had a great time and enjoyed the food. Thanks to the BOD for putting this together.

stoneroller

Sun, 9th Mar 2008, 09:56 PM

Great swap. Thanks to the ARC and MAAST communities for making it happen. Good seeing folks and "trading" for some nice corals. How do I always end up with SPS? I need a vaccine. Now I gotta start dosing daily again. I reckon that's what good deals will do for/to you.

Can't wait till next time!!!

zcatzmeow

Sat, 15th Mar 2008, 09:35 PM

man, sounds like y'all had a good time! Wish I could have made it... oh well, next time!

Totally too late to be helpful, but perhaps a game plan for the next event. :innocent2:

bad = "Boss, I'd like a day off to go to the frag swap to check out stuff and hang out with the MAAST folks"

good = "Boss, as a loyal and motivated employee, I am very interested in the continuing success of the store. I believe I could really help increase store profits by providing up to date, valuable data in the area of our coral department. Attending the MAAST coral frag swap would allow me to not only show our store's support of the local clubs, but it would also give me the chance to see first hand the coral stock customers are most interested in buying. Knowing what our local customers want to purchase would give us an edge over the competition. I would be happy to volunteer my time to conduct this research."
