+dapettit Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 I'd like to announce the azcummins, I mean the reef_pug or is it mcallahan SWAP-ARMA-POLOZA! Pack up the used equipment and bring those great frags to this blockbuster meeting. A good time is guaranteed for all! Mark, is offering to host the October meeting at his home. There is a UT game that day. It is in Missouri but not sure if it's going to be televised. I sure with a little pleading Mark would tune in the game. . . Please RSVP to this thread if plannig to attend. If you would like to bring drinks or snacks please send me a PM. The meetings have been getting larger and larger each month, I'm hoping this one is a complete blowout. It's been great seeing so many new faces mixed in with the regulars at each meeting, if you have not been yet please consider a visit. I am in need of host volunteers for future meetings. If you've enjoyed yourself at a previous meeting please consider offering us a place to meet up at. PM me with your interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rjohn Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 The UT website has the marked "TBD". Probably it'll depend on what happens at the Shootout this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+mcallahan Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 I'll also be showing my video from my tour of Vivid Aquariums and Sea Dwelling Creatures as well. You won't be disappointed - I promise. Chalice anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robb in Austin Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Robb, the meeting is Ssturday. . . I was worried my post would be confusing. It needs to slow down starting on Friday, so that Saturday we are overstaffed and I can leave early. Or, better yet, not go in at all! All you people feeling sick; get over it!

caferacermike Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 Oh ****. Scheduled on the day of the Harvest Classic bike rally in Luckenbach. You know I won't make this meeting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Razor Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 I wanted to come to this meeting, but I have a Hazmat conference in Houston that won't end until Sunday so I can't be there. Oh well, I'll sure try for December though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+mcallahan Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 I'll have some ultra blue tenuis for trade/sale. Here are some of the frags I cut today: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+mcallahan Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 I just remembered that it works best if people take a pic of what they are trading and bring it with them. Often times the coral is closed up (aka zoas) or doesn't look anything like it does in a tank. So take your best mug shot of your frags and bring them with you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmanning Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 We'll be there. Can't wait to see those Vivid videos......Mark, I'll bet you had an interesting experience and an eye full of the mother colonies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexKilpatrick Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 I am planning to be there. Hope it is ok to sell frags as well. I don't have anything to trade, but I would like to buy some. Interesting aside -- I think I started the first Austin reefkeeping "club" about 5 years ago. It started as a bunch of group orders for Flying Fish Express (which I think is no longer in business). From there we graduated to a yahoo group, had a bunch of meetings, etc. I ended up having to do a lot of travel and got out of things for a while and it looked like MAAST took over. I am glad there is an Austin group again, though. Nothing against MAAST, but it is nice to know everyone is local, especially for buying/selling. Look forward to meeting all of you.

Carrie Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 Chris and I are both newbies to reefing, and we will be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirkgent001 Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 (edited) Hope it is ok to sell frags as well. I don't have anything to trade, but I would like to buy some. I plan to be there also, but only for an hour or so as I got a Halloween party thing I need to take my girls to. This will be my first fragswap/meeting. Look forward to meeting people and seeing stuff. And as quoted above, I'm too new to have anything to trade. Also, what should I bring if I'm gonna buy a few frags? A small ice chest? what else do I need? Again, I'm a total noob at all this. Thanks, Orlando Edited October 21, 2009 by dirkgent001 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Orlando A small portable cooler is a great way to carry home anything you buy or swap for. Other than that you can check with the host to see if he needs drinks, chips, cups, ice, etc. It's not required but is a nice gesture. Your biggest task is just showing up.
