[March 26, 2016] - Bay Area Reefers MEMBERS ONLY Frag Swap

[Zoaddicted]

The date has been changed to March 26!
We're excited to announce the 2016 BAR Members Frag Swap!

This frag swap is open to BAR Supporting Members only. We plan this event to appreciate the club members. This event will be smaller than our Regional Frag Swap which is a good thing since members will bring their absolute best corals! You will see some familiar faces/usernames

Don't know what a frag swap is? Check this thread out. The members frag swap and regional frag swap are probably my most favorite events out of the entire year. Definitely do not miss this event!

NOTE: In Northern California, Local Reef Club's run their Frag Swap events a different way than the rest of the United States.

I've noticed that the "frag swaps" that other clubs put on outside of California are more like mini-trade shows. Like having a bunch of Reef-a-Paloozas where it's all vendors and local garage grow-out shops aiming to sell corals.

Frag Swaps in Northern California are more of a Timed Coral Trading Event.

And we've got one more raffle prize to add to the list.

Legendary Corals Frag Pack baby!

And here's an actual picture of the Uranium Bounce frag we will be raffling.

Pink ****** Chalice Frag with 5 Eyes



Magnetic Frag Rack from Frag-A-Rack

• Made for the Reef hobbyist needing an ascetically pleasing, and extremely functional frag-rack. FRAG-A-RACK is made with high strength ABS plastic and developed to have the smallest footprint in your tank. Even though FRAG-A-RACK looks beautiful to the eye, it packs the strongest Neodymium magnets of any frag holder. Each piece holds a Neodymium magnet with a pull of 140 lbs, all while adding to the overall look of your tank.
