Let's use this post to coordinate in-person Frag Swaps at our upcoming Frag Swap on Saturday August 5th!
Do you glue animals to rocks? Or want to learn? You are in the right place! Our club is holding Hobbyist Hangouts, Gathering Hours, and Frag Swaps. At all of these events you have opportunities to learn tips and share animals. At an earlier Gathering Hour this year, someone shared how she is just throwing those coral trimmings away. They are animals - let's make sure they all have a home!
If you have some things you would like to trade, swap and/or sell at the August 5th event, then please list your item(s) in below thread.
If you see something listed you are interested in, then please reach out to that person and make arrangements for August 5th.
It might take us a while to get back in the swap groove. 'Bag & Grab' committee is seeing corals that can be given away or entered into Silent Auction during Frag Swap. Long time hobbyists may remember and share about original hobbyist 'Frag Swap' roots! Whenever people got together, trades were happening. This post intent is to help make those trades happen more frequently again.
Link to final 'Bag & Grab' Committee meeting and it's notes:
