Manhattan Reefs Ring: Sps

Hey so we already have a Zoanthid ring thats doing well, why not have one with SPS.

Taken from Josh and edited for SPS:

"This is my own take on DBTC. It will work a little differently, but it is based on the HONOR SYSTEM. If you can't have a little fun in this hobby without making a buck, don't try and join the ring. If you break the ring your reputation in the community will suffer!

This will NOT immediately increase the number of corals/frags in the community, but it will help improve our diversification.

I will give one frag of Purple Bonsai to the first person who agrees to join the ring, you do so by posting in this thread that you want it.

You have one week to pick up the frag. After you get the frag, you will post one of your own frags on this thread and someone else will offer to take it. This will continue until I decide to close the ring, at which time I will take the active frag and the ring will end (I will probably keep it running for a long time to see how far we can get).

You must post a different frag than the one you are getting. You may not sell the frag you get. You have one week to find someone else to take over the ring by taking your frag (the new one you are offering). If no one wants to take your frag, it probably means you are not offering anything good and you will have to list another frag in order to keep the ring going. For this particular ring, we will only trade SPS.
To summarize:

I list a frag
You post saying you want the frag and will take over the ring
You pick up the frag from me
You have one week to find someone else to take over the ring
You post a frag and if someone takes it, you are finished with your responsibilities in the ring.

Basically this is a BREAK EVEN strategy based on paying it forward.

I will start the ring with a Purple Bonsai frag.

Pickup in Manhattan (midtown east) directions once ring leader has been chosen.

Keep the ring going!

There is a Picture of another frag from the same "colony" that I have offered to the DBTC in another thread if you would like to view a picture.


PS: We need a DBTC icon now...

The Purple Bonsai has been passed to Eric (bigyankfan). Control of the ring is his now... He will post what SPS he is offering shortly!
