After six months of saying "corals are a racket!" and "I like fish not immobile plant monsters", I have joined the dark side and have started my first reeftank, currently has 2 Pulsing Xenia frags (which are so cool) and also soon a Duncan and maybe some mushrooms in the future! Wish me luck!

Its as addicting as fish!! That just means you need both!

Once you create your first post in your thread and link it to your account, they will give you build badge (look left, under my ID)

This might help you find people local to you in Dawsonville:
