New Goodies from Ohio Frag Swap

A friend of mine and I drove about 3 hours to Columbus, Ohio for a frag swap on Sun 26, 2010. I went with $300 cash and my friend went with about $250 cash. I spent, including gas money and some food, $235. My friend, including gas money and some food, spent $190. I could have easily gone broke, but I didn't want to spend all $300 there. Some dealers were taking credit cards (smart huh).

I came home with:

1 - 5 eye (~1.5" diameter) similar morph to Tyree Watermelon chalice ($60)
1 - Dr. Mac (~1" diameter) Golden Chalice ($40)
1 - super bright orangish gold acan echinata (~7 heads) ($20)
1 - Pink and green chalice (~2" diameter) ($40)
1 - red purple and green spotted blasto (4 heads) ($35)
24- raffle tickets ($20) (I won a $50 gift card to a local reef store)

What I purchased with the gift card:

2 - orange bam zoa frags (~30 heads each)
1 - pink with blue rim chalice (~2.5" diameter)
6 - astrea snails (because I didn't want to spend more than the $50)
2 - emerald crabs (because I didn't want to spend more than the $50)

Photos when the person who can actually take photos gets home.

 

Now thats the kind of Sunday - every reef keeper dreams about

congrats on the new additions

looking forward to the pictures

Congrats on the adds, nice haul

 

congrats for the great pick ups, looking forward to the pics

 

Pics may take some time. It is time for me to replace my camera. I was unable to take clear macro shots and I accidentally dropped it in to a bucket of ro/di water after I gave up on it. It really was an accident. Any suggestions on a new camera? Most i am willing to pay is $300.

 

Sounds like you got a great deal....congrats. I cant wait to see the pics when you can get them posted. Glad you had fun

 

thats some excellent scores there xmetal. i do look forward to seeing them. im not a camera guy, and i might get roasted a bit. but ryobi, i believe , makes an camera that has the lithium ion batteries in it. has macro setiing and the pics taken on it look really good. up here at home depot, its 199.
