Manny Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 I just thought about this but anyone know if Niko is setting up a tank? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShawnKoto Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Is there anyone who is willing to save one piece that they are going to frag anyway to show a newbie (me) how to frag and get on a plug Even if it is as easy as cut and glue, I tend to find that there is an art to everything in this hobby!

mFrame Posted October 10, 2014 Author Share Posted October 10, 2014 Just a reminder that the frag swap is a week from this Sunday. It looks like we're going to have a lot of frag tanks set up as well as a few special surprises. We'll have several types of FREE coral frags for members. These are easy to grow "starter" corals. We'll have a silent auction for several frags and frag packs with all proceeds going toward the PIJAC Aquatic Defense Fund. Depending on interest we'll have a basic fragging demonstration to show newbies ideas and methodologies to share your corals. Looks to be a great time!

SAM Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Since this is my 1st time setting up a display frag tank in the swap......I'm thinking about putting all my frags on 2 racks that came with the display frag tank in a bagged Styrofoam box filled with existing tank water as for the transport part. I was wondering if most folks use existing tank water or fresh mix water for the display frag tank? I will have extra mixed salt water and existing tank water in multiple 5 gallon jugs ready to top off the display frag tank. I invested in a 20x20x8 AIO frag tank, Reef Breeder Lux set at 40% which yield about 300 to 400 PAR on the frag racks level, 1 return pump Cobalt MJ1200, heater, and a Jebao WP 10 for circulation. Do you guys think I need anything else? I figure I won't need a skimmer or placed any live rock in it since its just a temporary setup. Please correct me if I'm wrong about that. Thank you in advance for your input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jolt Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Sam, sounds like a great setup! It's my first time too and I have been saving water from my weekly WC to bring to the swap. I'll probably add about 20% fresh to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarmerTy Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 I am a rookie frag tank vendor too! I went the budget route and picked up a 24" x 24" hydroponic tray. I told them it was for reefing and they said I bet it is! I'm gonna make a makeshift light stand out of pvc, throw in a small pump and heater, and bring some extra water for topoff. I'm not bothering with live rock or a skimmer. I don't believe the amount of time there would require it. I'll be pulling 15 gals of old tank water and using that. I don't think my tank will miss it much. Sent via Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard L Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Sam- I think you've got a good plan. I'd stick with the same tank water so there's really no acclimation. Last time I did this I performed a water change and took the old water with me. Two birds/ one stone kind of thing. I'd also suggest a small bag of carbon to absorb newbie drool and any stuff the corals might dump into the water if they get stressed. Ty- can't wIt to see your contraption! Hey it's not how pretty the container is, it's the stuff inside! Getting excited. Can't wait to get together and drone on and on about corals and water parameters!!! It's just what we do:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mFrame Posted October 16, 2014 Author Share Posted October 16, 2014 Just a reminder about the swap, guys, plus this: There will be a bounce house for the kiddos from 2-5pm. What better opportunity to bring the family and have them entertained while you talk tank?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jolt Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Mike - what time is setup? Is it 2pm or earlier? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarmerTy Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Yeah, can the people setting up tanks get there a bit earlier so we can setup and allow the corals to settle in and open up before the swap starts? Sent via Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jellyfish Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Yes I will make sure that we have access to the room before the start of the frag swap, do you think an hour ahead of time would be enough time. I'm grabbing the keys on Friday night so I can get everything set up early for everyone. Is everyone bringing their own extension cords to run from outlets to frag tanks, I will check and see how many the community center has on hand.

mFrame Posted October 16, 2014 Author Share Posted October 16, 2014 Mike - what time is setup? Is it 2pm or earlier? Sorry, I should have clarified. 2pm is when we can get in, so we probably should have said 3pm for general public Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAM Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Hope my blue tang will stop his urge of rampaging through my frags from this swap. He has literally played with 19 of them today....sigh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
