I live in the area it’s so bad for reefers in this area I come from Florida and there are so many LFS, clubs, frag swaps. Here the only LFS was high tides and they closed down but he never had anything in stock I was thinking I was the only person with a tank in this area. The only place was PetCo I bought a fish from there yesterday and I check the salinity of there water and it was 1.043 it took me hours to get that poor fish in my qt. Tank. There fish and corals are always a high risk to buy. Anyways have you found any LFS, clubs, or frag swaps? I have a few frags I wanted to swap and always looking for cool frags

Bump again- I'm out close to WCU, would love to hear about frag swap in region- I've got enough pink tip, fluorescent green stalk euphyllia that I'm running out of space. Lots of green candy canes and iridescent purple discoma- I would trade as well. If anyone is interested... I've got a rainbow rose anemone who just split too.
Hey Inhave not logged into R2R is forever it seems like! Totally need to do some cutting what are you wanting. Here is an update picture but the timing is on the low side but it’s from earlier. If you see anything let me know. I really got to trim up the Milka and the bright green acro on the left

I am SOOOOO happy I found this post! If you are still cutting I would love some frags possibly! The LFS scene here is awful. Im in Weaverville
There is aquarium and imports. (DONT go there). skips reef in Hendo is new. I havent been yet. We usually do a day trip to Columbia and go to fishy business and Palmetto reef.

Skip's is where I've been going. They are real friendly, family owned, and have corals, fish, and CUC. Their prices seem to be on par especially since there's no shipping cost buying at the store.
My tank's been cycled about 2 months. I just entered my first ugly phase (minus the one I was born with ) and have been getting brown algae all over the rocks and sandbed. I had really high phosphates for a while and finally got them down using phosguard. Keep me updated with your tank, I'd love to hear how your journey goes!
Cool, they freak you out with their random behavior. One day I came home and one of my clowns was just laying on the sandbed apparently sleeping. He woke right up and hasn't done it since lol they always sleep on the wall. I added a Royal Gramma a couple weeks ago and it's finally started coming out.

Hi guys,
I have not had any luck in finding a local club or good local store but I would love to connect with anyone in the area in the hobby. So if a few hobbyist wanted to get together sometime I would be happy to host at my house just to get to know each other or swap Frags, etc. I live in east Asheville.

I'm new here and super excited to be part of this coral-loving gang! After 20 years away, I'm diving back into the hobby now that my kids are all grown up. The thing is, I've moved to the quiet town of Franklin in the mountains of NC, and there's no coral store nearby – like, at all. Back in the day, I had coral shops all around me in NY and FL, so this is quite a change! Actually everything about this hobby seems like it has changed in the last 20 years.
I've just finished setting up my tank after cycling, and man, staring at these plain rocks is getting old real fast. I'd love to know where you all get your coral around here. Any cool places to visit (driving distance?) or websites you swear by? I'm getting antsy to see some life in my tank again!
And here's the thing – if any of you ever have some coral frags up for grabs to sell, I'm totally interested. It's tough out here in coral-less land, and I could use a hand getting my tank colorful and lively.
Oh, by the way, turns out we're practically neighbors in this small Franklin community.
Excited to hear from you all!
