To get ready for the frag swap, I made a custom frag carrier. I used a 3 gallon rubbermaid container and some scrap acrylic. It will hold 80 frags of coral (whatever I sell and buy). The holes and overall cuts arent perfect, but it'll do. So much I can do with a dremel.

Thanks Rob! Since there wasnt anything out their I could find that would do what I wanted, I did it myself. I'm pretty bad at this acrylic thing. Cant wait to get my hands on one of your new releases of frag/racks/rubble box...BTW, how big is the rubble box? Dont have a ton of room in my sump, and zero in the display.

So you're going to acclimate new purchases at the swap?

No...that will done at home in one of the 2 tanks...Just figured if I need the extra room for whatever reason then I'm covered. But its really to bring them to the swap.

I was just curious how you were going to put purchases in there without acclimating them, short of just putting the bag in there anyways.

How or what did you use to have a gap between top tray and bottom tray.

There is only one tray. It is standing up using acrylic frag plugs on each corner.
