I'm in Sarasota I'd love to be apart of the community, my family thinks I'm crazy
Great!
I have a rimless 60 gallon tank, currently, and all I have for corals at the moment are lotsa GSP, Large yellow leather, Small 4-5 head orange acan and medium colony of green button polyps.
My icon pic is a lobo that I had for several months but lost, and cried over. It was such an awesome animal. It would go from solid looking to almost translucent!
:'-(
Looking forward connecting with you and swapping corals and stories

I might be interested in some of that in a few weeks.
That would be awesome!
Your tank and it's corals look great!

If it’s not too much to ask. Can you post, if you haven’t already, where you live? I noticed John Hughes is in The Villages, etc.
Just a note, I’m not looking to exchange corals. But willing to give away and/or sell inexpensively. I’m very particular to what I put in my system. I’ve vetted my sources over the years.
I’m also happy to share information. Been in the hobby for 25+ years. In that time I can tell you one thing for certain. No one knows it all. However, I’m willing to share what I do.

If you travel I-4, then you pass right by my exit...SR46. I live 1/2 a mile off the exit.
My son, and his wife, bought a new home in New Smyrna Beach...TODAY. The company he works for is in Maitland.

If you don't mind can you PM me a list of what frags you have available and how much you want for them? I'm off all this week finishing my tank up but I'll be back your way next week and I'd love to pick a few things up.

I live in The Villages and would appreciate any help, and frags :)

HMpops I live somewhat close to you. Off 414 just west of the RDV. I’d love to buy some stuff from you if you still have frags. I work for the fire department and I’ve remodeling a house so my schedule is a little crazy but maybe we can arrange a time for me to come by sometime?

Hi, I live in The Villages and as big as this place is I can't find any reefers. [emoji21].

We are in Summerfield⁠— the neighborhood behind the Pedro store, we do alot of our shopping in The Villages. The only reefers we know are the ones who work at Aquatic Design in Ocala.
