Welcome and great to see new people growing the hobby locally.

I'd encourage you to come to one of the meetings. Its always good to look at other peoples setups to get ideas for improving your own.

1 silver yuma,
1 hairy mushroom,
1 flower anemone,
8 blue leg hermits,
2 peppermint shrimp,
1 astrea snail,

1 brown banded serpent star named Kawfee,
1 HUGE serpent star named Earl,
1 false perc named Tank
and I finally got my 6 line wrasse!!!

[salt newbie01]

Sorry I missed you post clown - a belated WELCOME!! hope to see you around again. How's the 55 doing? As others have said please feel at home and ask questions if you have any.

 

[salt newbie01]

Hey Florida - Welcome to the forums and to the local club!! Blairsville is not too far away - Congrats on the new system coming in! I bet it will feel huge coming over from a nano to a 75. You will have fun putting everything in and getting it all set up. Let us know if you have any questions.

I hope both of you new guys will try to come to a meeting soon. May's meeting will be at my house I hope you will try to come. I live on 64 heading towards the ocoee.

This looks like a fun group of guys, I may have to visit and try a club meeting. The swap looks like fun to.

 

[salt newbie01]

When ever you want to come down Reefman just let us know. What part of TN are you in?? The swap is a lot of fun!! We had over 20 people last year and we are hoping to do more this year. Lots of cool corals and good times.

Welcome to the forums!!!

 

[bkv1997]

He meant we had over 20 people trading/selling corals.

There were alot more people than just 20 at the event, just so no one gets confused.

 

[salt newbie01]

Good catch Brandon - I missed a 0 we had over 200 people at the event - and yes over 20 trading/selling -

sorry for the typo!!

 

[scouncil]

And the meetings are always on weekends too, so you need to come to one, just to see the tanks! The next meeting is June 7th in Cleveland which isn't THAT far away from north GA and Chattanooga. You'd both be very welcome. Hope to see you!!

hello, I stumbled across this site from a link in Reef central. I have been in this obsessed hobby now for three years. I live in north alabama, only about an hour drive from chattanooga. This year will be my first frag swap, i am really looking forward to meeting some of you saturday after next. I am currently having to drive 45 min- 90 min one way to a lfs. I have visited bermuda, but mainly have done my shopping at the living reef in Rainbow city, AL. They are fixing to close so I am trying to find another good reliable lfs--where is the 5th?

 

[bamachamp92]

it is East Ridge right off the exit mac smith road directly across from cracker barrell

 

[ironman]

if you come to the swap the owner of 5th day will be there, he can give you good directions, or ask any of us when you get to the swap and we can help you find it.

 

[ericad289]

thanks, i look forward to meeting some of you.

 

[ironman]

HEHE! Well guys he said "Some" of us. So I guess he has already heard about brandon and tommy enough to not want to meet them! LOL!

 

[ericad289]

haha....i just figured not everyone on this forum would be making it next saturday...LOL...looking forward to meeting everyone there...
