Our next meeting is Saturday the 21st, at Epic Aquaculture, from 2-4 PM.

It's FRAG-O-WEEN!!! Which means, we've got a big box of corals to do a fragging demonstration, and then give away all the frags!

Meeting agenda:

• A demonstration of fragging various types of corals by @Epic Aquaculture. And then we give away the frags for free to our members!
• Raffle!
• Coral auction.

Any registered club member can attend and bring their corals/frags to sell in the auction. We do ask that each member bring no more than 15 items, and they must be listed here in this thread by 6PM Friday the 20th. Please provide a line description and a starting bid. Pictures are helpful if you have them! The auction list will be compiled later and be posted by Saturday morning.

If you are not currently registered with AZ FRAG, please see our website: azfrag.org

If you have any questions about the meeting please reply to this thread and ask!
We look forward to seeing everyone again!

[Epic Aquaculture]

You are all invited to the World Headquarters of Epic Aquaculture (Not the State Headquarters. Not the National Headquarters. The WORLD HEADQUARTERS!!!) on Saturday October 21st from 2pm-4pm.

This meeting is the annual Fragoween event, so we will be demonstrating how to frag several species of corals. I have brought in some very nice stuff to frag and all of the frags will be given away to club members. See below for some pictures of what we will be fragging and giving away.

I will also give a short presentation on the methods we use for our systems.

Pizza and soft drinks will be provided.

We will also have lots of frags available for purchase and will be offering our Halloween sale prices as an early treat to club members - 20% of everything, and this can be combined with our pack discounts so if you but 3-5 frags you'll get 30% off and if you buy 6 or more frags you'll get 40% off.

As usual we will also be having the club auction where you can pick up some amazing frags at very low prices.

This is our 460 gallon display tank which you will be able to see at the meeting:

Plenty of Green Slimer available, but A couple of months ago when I was giving the big cclony a trim, the whole thing broke off so I took the opportunity to remove it since it was shading a lot of other corals. It is regrowing from that spot though.

What a great gathering today at EA's World Headquarters. We knew going in that it wouldn't wrap up by 4 lol. I think everyone who attended went home with some inspiration from Bill's masterpiece. Thank you for opening up your home to us all, see you next month.
