When are you going Ahmed? I'm hoping to go at least one day.

I'll be there all three days. Saturday's the biggest day so that's the one I'd try to hit.

Ah cool. I'll figure out for sure if I can make it and I'll let you know, would be cool to have someone local there.

Hey local guys next weekend August 8-9. My track, the Tiltyard, will be hosting the "Tilted Worlds" offroad RC Car race. I know it's not reefing, but it's cool also. Spectating is free. Here's a short video of my other hobby. I've been into this one for over 25 years. You guys are invited.

Cool Homer. Is it kid friendly? My son would love to watch that haha!

Homer Allman · Jul 28, 2015

Yes kids are welcome. The address is 6994 tiltyard drive dayton. We are in Briery Branch just west of Harrisoburg. It will be going on all day Friday, Saturday and most of Sunday.

Does anyone here have extra LED lights I could use to run a small hospital tank? Got red bugs and found a flatworm so I'm removing all SPS till it's gone.

Been doing it since 2012. I actually just started to break down my system since I went back to college. Don't think we ever met though.

Cool deal. I wouldn't mind meeting up with the local guys if you all would want to. I've made a bud over in Richmond that my wife calls "my fishin' buddy", but he's the closest one. The two local stores here (Nerdy Dogs and Sylvia's) don't have hardly any selection and always look sick, so I make the drive over the mountain for anything I can't/ won't order online.

ITreeferVA · Jan 17, 2017

@Khh27 is right over the mountain, we usually head to richmond as well for fish and supplies. We are heading down to the February 4th Show in Roanoke.

There's a show on the 4th? Man, I didn't know about that. Can you shoot me some more details, or a link? I've been to Exotics and Aquatics there in Roanoke. Family owned LFS. They had a good selection and were super friendly.

His name is Mike. @mhaun We've gotten together once and plan on it again soon.

bruleyii · Jan 17, 2017

If youre willing to travel there are tons of reefers and LFS up here in DMV area. Especially here in NoVA. I know a few people out that direction thats part of our local club. Might be able to connect with some of them.
