Whats up man, hows the tank? I haven't been on RDO for a while. Work, tank and getting this club rolling have taken up a bunch of time. Are you coming to the swap? Only a couple days in the car, no problem.
 
LOL... No trips east. I am, however, going to try to get some Bay area corals back home from my christmas trip. :)
 
I never bought frags before how uch do they usually go for? Is there a price range? Like $15-$60 Just curious? And do you get a big frag or a little one? I've never been to anything like this before.

Yes is the best answer.
At swaps you can find basic frags of run of the mill stuff cheap. And limit frags for a lot more. I was at a frag swap where a guy had pink lemonaid monti's and a frag was $75, across the room was purple mushrooms the size of a silver dollar for $5 or 3 for $10. I work in Palatine and can promise it will be worth the trip. We will also have some vendors out. Steve from Sea Schor has a table as does Dave from Ocean's Floor and they both have great stuff.

I will put it on my calendar. Rockford is about 2 hours for me, but it sounds like it might be worth it.

I think it will be! At this point I have two shops getting tables, fraggers from as far away as St Louis and Madison coming. And a bunch of people pushing vendors for raffle items. I hope to get the site updated before the 1st with raffle items. I'll post here once it's updated
 
How do they transport them and what do them keep them in throughout the day? Just wondering as I have never been to a frag swap. I have some pieces I am looking to get rid of as well (shrooms, hydornophora, lobo brains). Do you think they are worth bringing with?
 
Some fraggers come with all the frags in bags and pics of the mother coral. Others bring buckets and taqnks and set up small tanks loaded with frags. I guess it depends on what works for you, and how many frags you are bringing.
 
HOLY CORAL FRAGMAN.
