TFF Frag Exchange
Welcome to TFF's place for marine reefkeeper's to gather to exchange a bit of the ocean world. Our members should be able to 'congregate' here and exchange corals for the mutual benefit of themselves and their marine aquarium. In addition to some basic rules and guidelines to be posted above. all TFF forum rules apply here. This is a place of education and respect. Conscientious marine aquarism is expected. Have fun.
Rules and Guidelines
1) Members come here to share their knowledge and expertise in addition to their coral frags. As we expect of fellow members, there will be no foul language, disrepect of each other or any unacceptable language or comments relating to race, religion, creed, sex, etc.
2) A member may create a single post and edit their listings as their stocking requires. Repetitive posts may be deleted unless a member requests one for specific reasons. Commentary posts will be deleted. Questions about corals and shipping agreements should be sent by PM or email between members. Any complaints or issues may be mentioned to a marine moderator.
3) Frags should come from well-established tanks. See below.
4) It is understood between frag exchangers that there is never any guarantee that an unwanted hitchhiker may be transferred on a coral frag. The exchangers understand and accept this risk.
5) Each coral frag that a poster is interested in listing for exchange should be listed in the format as printed below. This can be cut and pasted and used in their post. Any post deviating from this guideline may be deleted by a mod.
6) Frags listed to be exchanged should be accompanied by a photo.
7) Any use of photo retouching software on the frag photo can subject the poster to disciplinary action including removal of the thread, warning or a temporary ban. If special lighting must be used, that should be identified in the post (eg, photo taken under 10,000K blue actinics).
8) Any member misrepresenting their coral or item of exchange, deviating from their agreement or who fails to follow guidelines is subject to disciplinary action.
9) A swap is exactly that: an exchange of one thing for another. If one member wishes to SELL their coral, or, if they want something additional for the coral over and above the swap, this must be clearly stated and agreed upon by the members involved in the exchange.
10) Members engaging in a swap must include, at the minimum, the following information in their post. Suggested guideline:
Coral type: LPS, SPS, softie
Species:
Size: Large (4-6"; 10-18cms); medium (3-4"; 7-10cms); small (2-3"; 5-7cms); nano sized (<2";<5cms)
Location: (UK, US, etc)
Tank/Age: Aquarium or prop; indicate if your tank is well established
Photo:
Method(s) of shipping or exchange:
Agreement if DOA:
11) TFF is NOT responsible for any part of the agreement arrived at between members on the exchange of corals and is NOT responsible for any losses incurred. This transaction is STRICTLY between the individuals. It may be safer for members to have an agreement in writing before the exchange takes place.
