Greetings from the Bluegrass State

Hello everyone! I've been a reader of Reef2Reef ever since I set up my first saltwater tank 6 months ago. I've learned a lot of valuable information here. Hopefully some day I can pay that forward!

I do have a question regarding general tank husbandry. Would it be best to post here or elsewhere in the forum?

Hello there! I am in process of piecing together my first tank as well. I was trying to find any local clubs/groups.

Does Cinci/NKY have anything like that?

Also looking for suggestions of everyone's favorite LFS.

Cincy check out Aquarium Artians.

There's a couple forums. I'm not active in them though. I mostly look for members selling used equipment and frags. Information about frag swaps are updated here as well.

The local fish stores around that I've been to are

Monfort Aquarium
Aquarium Artisans
World of Pets
Discover Aquatics (my personal favorite)

Good luck on your build!

HAHAH!!! That is too funny... If you check out my name I actually tried "NKYReef" first to match my Reef Central account but it said it was already taken. Nice to meet you.

I have checked out Monfort and World of Pets. I purchased my tank from WoP and from what I can see of live stock will be purchasing fish from Monfort of the two... I definitely need to check out Aquarium Artisans and Discover Aquatics.

Thanks for the reply!
