I'm driving there. Lifting half the new tank myself at least. That's gotta count for something.

You've seen my arms. They are massive.
Make sure you give him the wrong, I mean right, address.

Long and skinny like an anorexic python doesn't count...

Unfortunately he has already stalked me long enough to know my home and work addresses as well as my blood type and pizza preferences

Just my 2c. Seems like (from what I can tell) at swaps people want fast and cheap. Something they can drop a little bit on and if it dies they aren't out a ton. Plus they like to watch it grow? I think colonies are more of a "specialty item". Harder to pull the trigger due to the cost and risk of loss. Example a single head for 10$ will sell quicker and more often then 10 heads for 50$. Not sure why but it is that way alot of places. Reefers don't do math.
I'm just a bit sad that I didn't get a you know what on the "they like to watch it grow" or "fast and cheap".

MOAR rock—5 hours later, a trip to a neighboring state, my parents locking my keys in my running car, here are some pics of all the rock I got in the sump- not pictured: a bunch of rock in a 20g qt tank and peep the lettuce Pavona we got for 180 that is almost the entirety of the 5 gallon bucket- it’s bigger than my head!!

@F i s h y has one of those. It's one of my favorite corals in the tank.

The day wasn't nearly as successful as I had hoped. I'm still trying to figure out people's buying preferences. Seems people just prefer overpriced frags to actual reasonably priced colonies.
Thanks @Projects with Sam for hanging out today.
@MrsBugmaster it was really nice to meet you.
@Stang67 it was great to see you again as well.
Special thanks to @Mrs.F i s h y for being my champion and always rooting for me
@fishguy242 for being a great contact and friend
@Lost in the Sauce for being my opinionater
@rmorris_14 for all your amazing help. I looked legit today because of you!
@Zach B I tried to represent @noopsyche like a boss. Love the light.
2023 INDMAS in the books. First coral.show as a vendor in the books. Learned a lot.
And for anyone wondering. It isn't as easy as just showing up with some coral to sell...

It was great to meet you too. Wish my reef tank was suitable for coral. I like colonies. People at swap do tend to buy small frags for cheaper so they can afford to buy more stuff.
