TinyGiant Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 I'm definitely going and have a selling spot reserved bringing nearly 200 frags I've been stocking up for the last couple months in preparation for the event. i posted these pics on my thread but figured i would post them again. the funds raised by the sellers buying booth spots goes to the school science department that is hosting the event. I know there are a bunch of New Englanders on this forum that should definitely go check it out. there are three sellers in my club including my self bringing a total of about 500 frags. I've been told they have close to 30 sellers already registered Link to comment

Chances you have some beginner friendly stuff? Softies, mushrooms and hardy lps/sps? Link to comment

Pezking182 Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 that looks like a great deal. and a good mix too. good luck! Link to comment
TinyGiant Posted February 24, 2012 Author Share Posted February 24, 2012 that looks like a great deal. and a good mix too. good luck! yeah i tried to make sure i fragged everything from my tank. even if i could only bring one frag of something I wanted to make sure i had a good variety. I hav a sweet custom 4g long tank that i made from some scrap glass hopefully will be able to fit about 100 frags at a time in the tank. if i weren't super tight on finances right now i would go get some glas cut and make a 4" tall 12x24 tank just tall enough to hold the frags and display them nicely Link to comment
TinyGiant Posted February 24, 2012 Author Share Posted February 24, 2012 also will probably be bringing $1 cups of gracilaria macro algae and possibly some red graci too I definitely have enough growing to bring green.. not sure on the red. They both grow really well (as long as you dont have a tang around) Link to comment

TinyGiant Posted February 25, 2012 Author Share Posted February 25, 2012 <---- got a customer right here hopefully you'll have some good recommendations for beginner stuff. indeed. I worked at a LFS for 16 years .. lol i should have some good info kicking around in this skull of mine metrokat is buying 24 frags from me next week. i'm going to take some of the funds and hit up a LFS and possibly grab another zoa colony to frag up ..we'll see.. mortgage is due too.. so we'll see if the responsible side of me wins out or the reef addict side Link to comment

TinyGiant Posted February 25, 2012 Author Share Posted February 25, 2012 Tiny, awesome prices. Wish I didn't live so far. thanks. I'm going to try to be greedy. I want to have the best prices there. My hope is to sell out completely and have enough to pay my income taxes Link to comment
TinyGiant Posted February 26, 2012 Author Share Posted February 26, 2012 Finished my Frag display tank tonight . its a custom built 30"x6.5x6.5 tank on a small stand with a 4 bulb blue GU10 hood. Built 99% from recycled stuff. the only thing i had to buy was the 4 pencil holder cups to use as lampshades and two pvc elbows Everything else I already had at the house, even the bulbs were ones i just switched out by my calculations i should be able to fit at least 120 frags in the tank at a time.

TinyGiant Posted February 26, 2012 Author Share Posted February 26, 2012 took a better picture of it today now that the paint has dried Link to comment
TinyGiant Posted February 27, 2012 Author Share Posted February 27, 2012 lol sold 55 frags since yesterday.. so i had to do some more fragging tonight.. back upto 130 frags.. i want to be in the 200 range.. So i'll be hitting the LFS this week to stock up Link to comment
TinyGiant Posted February 28, 2012 Author Share Posted February 28, 2012 Looky what i made! So some egg crate, 2oz party cups and some silicone later I have my bucket insert. I used 2" PVC cut to about 2" less than the height of the bucket. Next i cut the tops off of the part cups. start by sliding one party cup down the tube with the lip up. Silicone inside the lip and then slid on the first rack that was cut to fit inside the bucket. next slide two more cups on. one facing down and one facing up. silicone around the rims of the cups. and a bead of silicone where the two cut sides meet. repeat the process until you have all the racks done. when the egg crate is cut correctly the whole rack will slide right in the bucket. this should make for very easy compact, safe transport of close to 200+ frags!

TheUnfocusedOne Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 I went a couple years back. Was decently cool. Link to comment
TinyGiant Posted February 28, 2012 Author Share Posted February 28, 2012 Grabbed a few new colonies to frag up today. Tons of eagle eyes, radioactive dragon eyes, purple death palys and sunset montipora. Ordered 200 plugs today too Link to comment
mangoman Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Loving that frag rack in a bucket thing! Thats awesome. if you're buying that much coral to frag why not just order from a wholesaler? just wondering.. seems like lfs store prices would really cut your margins down.. Link to comment
TinyGiant Posted February 29, 2012 Author Share Posted February 29, 2012 I've been working on this Pico rock for about a month now I was thinking of asking like $75ish for it . has at least 20 different small frags on it right now, monti caps, chalice, leathers, palys, 5 different zoas. as things fall off the plugs in the 33L i glue them to this instead of reglueing them to the plugs lol. here are pictures of my current stock and a better picture of the zoas soon to be fragged up oh.. and i also have this good sized purple rim cap that i will be selling for $20 its about 3" round i have 4 large colonies of this already and didnt need another. It grows really fast in my system. No joke i fragged 4 frags off the edge of one of the other colonies and the next day it was completely healed (its in direct flow of the K3 and 6" from the surface) Link to comment
