Just got done testing and did some extreme tests. Even made some categories up as far as explaining what this rack brings to the table. Everything will be posted but for now this is the latest information. So categories are Careful, Alright and who cares. Hope these pictures justify why I gave them those titles.

So the thickness shown here is a 1/2 inch starfire tank.

This is "Careful". Fragarack straight out with no additional magnets.
Board Image

This "Alright" I added a large bali colony to the rack and a acan small colony. Fragrack +1 additional magnet add.
Board Image


This next one is "who cares". Added an extra large monti colony and a blastomussa wellsi colony. Fragarack +2 additional magnets add.

Board Image

For individual who wanted size reference. Wanted to cover all points of views that individuals would bring up. Hope this justifys the ability of the rack. Again this is with 2 additional magnets on a 1/2 inch glass panel.

Board Image

Extra magnets are $5.00 which is not stated on the site.

For individuals with big boy tanks that are 3/4 inch thick.

Fragarack w/ 1 magnet would be "Careful"

Fragarack w/ 2 magnets would be "Alright"

Fragarack w/3 magnets would be "Who cares"

Any questions feel free to contact me. I'm looking forward to meeting all of you!

Fragarack will have a small table/booth and will be selling racks at the event.

A late addition to the list of vendors.  Many of you know Chris Chadwick, a former MARS Governor.  Chris resigned from his post as a governor last month as he found the conflict between opening his own business and running MARS a challenge.  For that we should all commend his integrity!

Chris, just had a baby boy, Joshua, and he wasn't sure that he'd be able to commit to the auction, but is a true reefing trooper!  Chris will be auctioning five pieces:

(Karl's) Candlelight Acropora (approx 1" multi branch)
Martian Moon Favites pentagona - AE (3-4 mouths)
Palmer's Blue Millepora (approx 1")
Red Hot Chilli Pepper Montipora/Seasons Greetings Montipora (approx 1" x 3/8")
Rouge Millepora (approx 1")



Chris will also be having a small table setup will some ELOS testkit stock for sale (No pre-orders):

KH (6 available)
Mag (3 available)
Calcium (3 available)
Phosphate (3 available)
Nitrate (1 available)
Omega Amino Acid's (2 available)

You can PM him about prices, as I believe that he will be providing some discounts during the auction.

I didn't find it.  I just got to use it ALOT, in one night.  Come on, I mean who wouldn't like to use the word Robokaki like 15 times in 3 minutes?

Thank you so much for a great time at another MARS function.  I can't wait to come to see Melev. 

Thanks to all the vendors for bringing all the frags and bagging everything up.  Even though I didn't buy anything in the auction, I did buy some things from a couple of members for our club raffle next month here in Chico.  Great deals and great people.

And I am with Pete, Robokaki is now one of my most sought after pieces.  :O

Robokakii?

Awesome meeting/Auction.  I bought a presale from Tyree.  Seven Ring Palythoas.  I swore he said the frag was 3-4 polyps....I'm sure I counted more like 12.  Sweeeeeeet Paly's!!!!  I am VERY happy!

One more thing to add.....I lost my Miami Orchid frags that I got as DBTC from MDickenson.  Did anyone find them????

Nope, not yet Dave.  I'm way bummed about that.  Miami Orchid was a piece I reaaaaaaallly wanted!  Was nearly in tears when I couldn't find it.  closed my cooler and opened it again 3 times hoping it would magically appear.  :s

I hope they turn up.  If not...I hope whoever got them enjoys them.  If they need a frag disk to mount them...I have a spare now. 

As for them Palys.....not really feelin' the need to frag them quite yet.  Too busy admiring my bonus prize!  :)  I'll keep you in mind when I do though.  :)^
