Who's going to LEAR this year?? Figured it might be cool to know who's going and then post pics of what everyone comes back with. A great warm up to our own fragswap.

I thought I was doing well with a spouse that basically says , "whatever" to my hobby. She has gone with me to fragswaps , but definitely not her idea. It would be great if she was actually enthusiastic. Your a lucky girl.

I will agree with you that I am a lucky gal. Normally its not Dave's thing either but he wanted to get me something for the aquarium and doesn't know what to get. He knows I would not go to the swap by myself plus he is going to make sure that I spend enough. We will make it a fun date.

Look like I am the first one back from LEAR, after a Bayer dip on the sps/Acros. I couldn't fit all of them on my frag rack so the frags on the rock are also included= 12 in all.

I took some pictures earlier I didn't like them, I will take some new ones tomorrow.

It took me so long to find people that I had reserved stuff from, that I forgot to get some Goni Frags, which I really wanted to get.

Look how your angel is eyeing up those SPS polyps lol

I didn't see you there. Let's see what you picked up.
We did not get in until about noon and stayed about an hour and a half.
I did not lay my frags out nice and neat but I do have some pics in my thread.

Looks like a good haul Ted, I saw Dawn had a pretty big goodie bag too lol. It’s almost 3 am and I am just getting to bed after fighting with anemones for a few hours. I got the Bta and the gig to attach fairly quickly, but naturally the lta is giving me a hard time. I’m only keeping the return on tonight and letting him roll around or find a place to bury his foot in on his own. I’m too tired and I have a feeling the baby is going to wake up the second I close my eyes lol. I’ll try and get pics tomorrow of the nems and softies I grabbed.

Greg and I did not get there till 12:30. By then I think the mad rush was over as I did not difficulty finding my reeftrader pickups. I had to see patients in early morning to pay for the new frags ...lol

I picked up a nice pack from av99 I always buy from Tim his frags are amazing.
1. Mattv rainbow envy
2. Rr limitless
3. Rr pretty In pink
4. Rmf flavor parade
I also picked up a asd rainbow milli and a arc fireworks acro. I also picked up a jf day glo and jacko lantern dirt cheap and picked up some rare jf butt kraks and got a coral I’ve always wanted a jf raja rampage. I also traded off a few leftover corals from no shows for a few other corals like frozen hornets. I’d say it was a good haul.
