Captive Reefs will be attending MASM's Monster Frag Swap. Stop by our table to dip your frags for free. Available dips will be freshwater w/lugols for zoas & palys, Revive (mixed with tropic marin saltwater) for lps, z&ps', and softies, and flatworm eXit dips for sps and other corals. Each frag that you want dipped will be placed in an individual container with fresh dip solution. In this way, it will be possible to see anything that comes off from the frag. In the event something does swim off, you can put it under the microscope that we will also have at our table, to get a close inspection.

Very cool setup Jim...

[Rook]

Should be a great exhibit.

[The Rugger]

Wish I could make it. You seem like to have a solid reef community there. I have yet to uncover an active one here.

[jimsflies]

If you find any local reefers, be sure to refer them to CR. I will be installing some software updates that should be fun/functional for local clubs to interact with each other as well as help recruit new members.

Rugger... get a club started down there. Then in February, all us Michiganders will come down and visit. :

I have to get together some frags for this event, hopefully pay for the trip there atleast. It is looking like there will be a good turnout.
