It use to be amazing. We had a lot of good time. @Peace River where you around back when ORCA did a bunch of stuff?

I was not actively involved in ORCA but I have heard some great stories about the "good old days". There were some opportunities and challenges (as there are with many clubs) that changed the dynamic. Many times these things go in cycles so, although it may look different, I fully expect that there will be an active, thriving club in the greater Orlando area in the future. There are simply too many great stores, too many great events, and too many great reefers in the area.

I think the more important question is what do we have to do to get it started back up, and how many people would be interested in participating?

I hope its does come back together be ORCA or a new one. CFL is full of great LFS and a lot of reefers here.

I would love to see who would be interested. Even if it meant starting from scratch.

I went to some of those good old day meetings years ago and would love to get together with some local reefers. Of course that is when it is safe. Maybe we can set up some informal meeting at a outside cafe' or LFS just to get some idea of interest. At least we would meet some other reefers.

Any good FB groups or anything for orlando reefers selling off frags? In a few and most of what I see ends up being Ocala, Tampa, or South FL.

I have not seen much in the Orlando area recently. Are you just starting your tank? I could put together a free softie frag package together for you. GSP, Kenya Tree, and some common mushrooms.

Thank you for the offer but I am pretty set for the most part. I ordered through WWC since costs on most things are MAP and their 10% back in rewards set me up pretty good. Always on a look out though for something good. I see listings in Ocala, Tampa, S. FL, but not much in this area. You kill savings in gas, tolls, and time. Have a friend in ATL and you can find just about anything through other hobbyists up there.
