    Hello everyone. We are going to be doing a fragging demo. This will be held at Zach's house. Address is 10953 NE 82nd ave Mitchellvile,IA 50169. The Demo will start at 2pm on Saturday March 8th and go until we get all the stuff fragged that people want to see. Please reply with any questions and what type of coral you would like to see fragged so we can make sure we have it there. Right now i know we have Acans and Zoas that people are bringing so if there is something else you want to see done please bring it with you.

    No cause she won't want to do that and driving 25 min to stay for a little bit then driving 25 min back home doesn't really make sense

    I was wondering if it was that weekend due to the amount of people voting on the 8th.

    We are looking at a acan mother colony. Something that most people dont have around here. Might also be some type of zoas. Depends on which one we can find. I am open to suggestions if any one has one in mind.

    Hey if there is an issue with the venue in march for the fragging demo because of medical issues which are way more important I have a place that we can host at but it would have to be on the 15th it would be a big enough area for everyone and near ankeny so kinda in between everyone

    Also I was gonna say fragging zoas then selling them to go to a new tank in the same day is a bad idea so I wouldn't recommend we do that with those but I do have to large colonies of nuclear green dragon eye that we could frag up and people pick up at a later date if they want some.

    My plan was to have it already at his house a week before and fragged up so we dont have that problem. We would than have other zoas from my tank or Eric's tank, or any one else that wants to frag what they have. That way they can cut there frags and know how to do it. I want to make sure people get a chance to do it and learn other than just watching. I know Salty has a bunch of Aussie Acans he wanted to frag and sell to people that wanted them as well.

    Hmm i guess I'm confused. .. should I bring my frag tank and sell there also?.... i didn't know it was gonna be a mini frag fest.... heck I was gonna give away the nuclear green dragon eye frags away for free to the people that fragged them

    Its not a mini frag fest. I just want to make sure we get all the kinds of things people want to see fragged there. The only person bringing things that i know of right now is Brandon (salty) because he had Acans and i asked him if he would be willing to frag them so we could see how. If you have something other than zoas or acans please bring it and we can see how to frag it.

    I know that last year, when we did this, we allowed people to bring things that they wanted to frag themselves and could not because they did not have the proper tools at their own place. If people wanted to buy those frags they could. The club purchased corals to frag and then recouped those cost. I am not 100% sure how things are happening this year exactly.

    Zoobie should be able to clarify this.
