I wanted to say a big public thank you to Nata for fragging the corals for us. Very kind of her to lend her saw and skills to the club! The corals have been healing up now for a week and it doesn't look like we'll have any losses from the cutting.

THANKS NATA!​

The list has been reduced to 10 slots. When we got the colonies fragged we opted for bigger frags for people and seeing how we haven't passed the 10 mark we thought this the best choice. If there becomes greater interest the BOD will gracefully bow out of the competition which would add 3 more slots on top of the 2 that are available making a total of 5 slots open for people to join the competition.

There's a new mystery coral that has been added to the competition. It is a donation from Nata who did the cutting for us. Very cool! Thanks Nata, and thanks all of you for taking advantage of this. It's going to be fun.

Was wondering if anyone coming from the Bellevue area would be able to haul a couple of these:

[/URL] to the swap this Saturday? I have access to a 2-4 of these, and thought it might be nice to have some extra table space. Unfortunately, they wont fit in my little civic. If anyone is going to the swap, and is capable of bringing them down, let me know. I believe everyone attending will appreciate your help, thanks!

Sorry we didn't get this posted up earlier. If you feel like it Senji, you can re-post over there, but don't feel like you have to. The contest will be going on for a couple months, and we can always look back at what you've already posted. Thanks everyone for coming out yesterday, and good luck.​
