Quick question. Do we just do trades at these meetings or also sell coral? I'm not all about selling, just thinking that I might start my office tank breakdown a bit early if people from further away want my corals. I'm trying to figure out what I can keep and what I can't for the transfer to a home seahorse tank (bye bye SPS/LPS ).

^^^^^ People sell corals and some people trade and give away. Not too many rules yet.

It’s a free market, all are welcome.

More than welcome to do either... We are low key bunch who are more about hanging with fellow reefers with the added option to swap/trade/sell and help each other out with our collective experience... We have speakers, field trips, special guests and surprises .. generally a good time...
Your unfortunate teardown may go well with an announcement I have tomorrow ...
Regardless, come by, have some fun. Have a beer if you like and meet some new reefing friends.
All are welcome.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaand... Bumping this up again.

Tomorrow boys and girls.....
7pm, in back right. In the Lounge.
Supposed to rain cats and dogs, so those of you coming from the IE or further, drive safe... We'll be there when you get there ..

 

[JojosReef]

See you there!

 

[Tangerine Speedo]

Will definitely... most likely... well probably...
Heck, I am not going to miss the Steve/Jose Power point presentation for the world...

Great meet this month!!
Thanks to Jose and Steve for an awesome presentation.
Also a shout-out to the new kids @Bck2hobby and @JojosReef for joining us today. Really glad you guys joined us. Old and new school reefers alike make our club what it is.
As was mentioned today we have a super special guest in January, so you all are going to want to make plans to be at that months meet.
Thanks to all of you who came up after about ideas and resources for future meets, buys, and field trips. This is what it takes to keep us thriving as we are!!. I really appreciate the help. It takes a village..

 

[Bck2hobby]

had a great time - looking forward for more.

great presentation - Steve and Jose

The drive was a little dicey but we did the best we could. The meeting was fun and my son and I enjoyed our reefer friends.
