Swap was great!

[Tom Toro]

I haven't been to a swap in many years and it was great to see how much it's grown. Seems like a young man's game now, so I'm glad I brought my adult son. Good seeing Todd and Chris among many others that I put the face with the name. Only spent about $100, but got some nice deals on corals I'd never seen for sale at the big stores. A lot of fun.

Yep was a great swap had a great time. And was great to see everyone. Look forward to the next swap.

[scubamomma]

Agreed the swap was great and the vendors were excellent. Well done!

[jimsflies]

It was nice to see everyone today. Glad to hear you had fun!

[bluwc]

Disappointed but the roads were horrible here and didn't want a 2+ hr drive and take a chance going in a ditch. Maybe next yr....

[foxhole]

Just to let all of the people know that put on the swap,job well done!

[Sidewinder]

Couldn't agree more with others that posted! Jimflies and BeakerBob did an outstanding job. Everyone else that helped, all I can is thank you! It was a great swap and I am looking forward to the next one!

[Manoj's Reef]

This thread is useless without pics!

Wish I could have made it. Poor finances this time of the year. I wish it was in the spring after taxes and all. =(

[Pinky and the Brain]

As always one of my favorite swaps to attend. So much to see, so many people to talk to, and just hands down a great time. Wish I could have bought more but will have to wait til my 55 cube is ready. Definitely next year!

[TM01]

I personally had a great time. It sure was great seeing everyone again.

I picked up a couple great pieces from Jason Fox along with some killer zoas from other vendors. I also picked up a new extream 150 skimmer along with all brand new filter socks from Dirks.

Thanks to everyone that helped put this thing together! :thumbsup:

I won the second place prize for the CR drawing which is $20 to Preuss and I don't know how to respond or claim my prize? Any way the swap was great, picked up some Black Ice Clownfish, L A Laker Zoa's, Bam Bam Zoa's and some Daisy Ployps.

[jimsflies]

linds.bowles I sent you a pm about an hour ago. Check your pm's...here (http://www.captivereefs.com/forum/private-messages/)

[linds.bowles]

Fake out, I found out how to and claimed the prize. Again, the swap was great, exceeded my expectations and now want to plan a road trip to the next.

Good deal. I was tired after driving back and she stayed in the bag until this evening floating in the tank.

Very healthy. Fed her a good amount of mysis. Ate that right up. Decided to try some fauna marin powder and she was either full or did not have taste for it.

TM01. That table had a bunch of nicer sps if you are into that. Also had a nice selection of zoas.

Honestly, great swap. I will continue to make the trip and I know at least a few people from back here will be coming.

A new clam... what species? I'd love to see a picture.

I had a good time at the swap and here's my favorite grab... a T. maxima (the little guy...)
