New Corals at a fragswap - Aquarium Advice

vietcu · 04-16-2008, 10:37 PM

Going to my first ever fragswap, I have to say it was amazing. Especially being able to buy soo many frags at such a low price. Heres what I was able to go away with from the swap.

Hammer

Star polyp with watermelon zoo far left of rock, hard to see.

Blasto

Frogspawn with some hitchhiker Aptasia

PPE, Armor of God Paly, Watermelon zoo, and some neon green zoo, and Orange ric

Green Ric

Torch coral

All of those corals gotten from fragswap for around $130. Pretty good deal I think. One question though, is it ok to put the PPE, Paly, Watermelon zoo, and neon green zoo that close together??

Nice pick ups.

Wow!! What all did you have to trade to get those awesome corals? Very nice pickups!!!!

Didn't trade anything, whoever was selling I bought with cash. Greatest deal was the frogspawn and torch, got those two for 10 bucks. Also won a Coraila 4 at the swap too, so I got my moneys worth. There will be another one in the fall in my state, so definitely going once I get my 75 up.

We(LMAS.org) host a frag swap every November in Louisville, KY. I think Cincy has one in October too.

Nice corals for sure.
