    Let the excitement begin!  Puget Sound Aquarium Society has invited our club to join them, and attend the Bob Moore Frag Swap, February 11th, in Tacoma, 11AM-5PM.  Our club will have a tank set up, as we did at SeaMax!  Details still need to be ironed out, but I wanted to get this information out to the members, as soon as possible.

     

    Angie, Madison and I will definitely be attending and I think at least Joanne will also be attending. We attended last year and it was a ton of fun.  This will be a time to get to know some of the great PSAS members, support and promote our own club, hang out with some great vendors, buy/sell/trade/give away corals and generally have a great time!

    I’ll be there!! And, I’m working on getting some hardware for our club to raffle off too :) mwahahaha

     

    We will also run the club tank like SEAMAX – if you want to bring corals to sell in the club tank, just drop them off, and hang with us a bit and help us sell some :) The club will take 25% of all sales through the club tank.

     

    As this is a frag swap, the PSAS even has options for you to have your own hobbyist table if you don’t want to use our club tank – (we will be limited on room to the tank we bring)…. but will do our best to be sure everyone can participate!

    That’s pretty cool! I will see if I can work out a way to be there, but not promising anything. I can at least donate some things to the club, and maybe set up some swaps ahead of time.

    Yeah – V-Day weekend – bleh….

     

    We will be cancelling our normally scheduled club meeting for February as well, since this event takes place on the same day/time :)

     

    I’ve got your Duncan on the list for “club donations” as well, mwahahahaha – hmmm maybe today I’ll even cut it up so I have a good sized frag to give back to you Ben!! :)

    Figured I’d put this out there, for all club members…

     

    As mentioned, our club will have a tank set up, at the Bob Moore Frag Swap, in Tacoma.  We will be selling corals, with a percentage of the proceeds going to the club.  Members are welcome to participate, in several ways.

     

    1.  Members can donate corals to the club.  Since it’s a donation, 100% of the proceeds will go to support the club.

     

    2.  Members can send corals over, for us to sell.  25% of the proceeds will go to support the club.  You’ll need to get your corals to either Joanne or myself AND let us know your price.  Make sure to also give us a minimum price, in case we need to lower prices.  If your corals don’t sell, we would return them to you, of course.  The sooner you get the corals to us, the less stress it will be put through.  Moving your coral, to one of our tanks, within days of the swap, and then it being transported to Tacoma AND possibly back home, within just a couple days, will be more stressful than if the coral sits in one of our tanks, for a longer period of time, prior to the swap.

     

    3.  Join us, in Tacoma, for the fun!

     

    The Bob Moore Frag Swap does require paid admission.  I don’t remember what it costs, but I’m sure that information will be available soon.  I believe PSAS members get in, at a reduced cost.  PSAS membership sign ups will be available, at the swap.

    And the official costs are:

    $15 for a one time family entry

    or, if you want to purchase a PSAS membership while you are there, you can get membership and entry for $30 (membership will be valid through September 2012)

     

    If you want to ask any questions to the organizers themselves, I encourage you to ask them here: http://www.reeffrontiers.com/forums/f8/official-bob-moore-2012-thread-63075/ as well… Assuming Michael and I can’t answer your questions here in our little club forum, of course :)

    So, Kevin mentioned this at the meeting – So I’m putting the APB out!!!

     

    No Feb meeting since we are going to Bob Moore – Need a ride? Have a ride to Give??

     

    We’ve cancelled our Feb meeting and are encouraging everyone to attend the PSAS Bob Moore Frag Swap ….. at PLU in TACOMA instead!! 

    So, anyone want a ride?? Carpool??? If you want to go, and need a ride, post it here, or if you are going, and have room for someone else in your car, post it here too!! Let’s get as many SPCDAReefs members as we can at this awesome event to support our club, and our favorite club sponsor CoralProps (as we all know love Henk!)

    And, FWIW – I will have some room in my car for frags or people…  BUT, I’m leaving the morning of at like 5 AM, and spending Saturday night at a hotel somewhere, likely in the Tacoma area (yet to be determined, it is for priceline to decide, haha)  :D

    Do you think you will have any more room in the club tank? Pending puppies, Luke and I still plan to go and would like to remove some duplicates from our tank.

    sprite

    We will NOT have room for puppies.  Tank duplicates, on the other hand, we’ll make room for! lol

    Ha. We’ll keep that in mind. It appears our pug and her mutt buddy decided to have a little too much fun on the day or two before we got him neutered. Figure she’s due somewhere between the 10th and the 17th, so our travel plans are a little sketchy at the moment.
