I've gotten some serious migraines from other reefers. People like @dantimdad , @Brew12 , @Scurvy , @Katrina71 , @NY_Caveman , @sfin52 , @Magellan , @Why-Me , @Raege , @Crabby48,@najer and @bdesign are definitely at the top of the list of "givers"! ;Hilarious
I was actually given a frag last weekend from blue reef near Daytona any time I’m out of town I check out the lfs I bought some pieces and gave me a 30 dollar fragFor those new to the hobby they may be shocked to learn there was a time frags were free. Even from stores sometimes. Piece of colony broke off in transit? Just take it...
Generally I will trade frags still but if a friend has nothing to trade I would prefer to give it to them and they can either give me something later or never. The supplemental T5's I have on my tank right now I got for free. I've been given tanks, and other random equipment.
I certainly will try and sell most used equipment I get rid of, but there are also times where I'll give it away for free. Most recent example was someone looking for RO canisters. I had extra ones sitting in my shed I'm never going to use. A couple of years back I saw someone trying to bargain with someone online over a cracked tank they wanted for a reptile. I got them to take my 180 for free instead, and when the guy tried to offer me money I told him I should be paying you to take it since I never would have moved it out to throw out.
Secret Santa is always funI have an amazing, most awesome friend some of you may know who goes by the name of @Crabs McJones who is mailing me a nice bag of chaeto for FREE and it got me thinking! This hobby is expensive enough, and I'm not complaining, but it's nice to be able to give and receive stuff at no cost! So let's talk about that today!
