I'm sure we have some reefers in that area! If you look into joining user groups there may be something close. Best of luck! I'm sure some users will be able to help more.

What is the group called? I don't have Facebook but I guess it's never to late to get one. I'd really like to join a group locally to trade info, coral, and to get to meet people who have this awesome hobby in common
I'd love your advice and wisdom if you are willing to give some. What is DFWMAS?Welcome! Glad you joined. From talking with hobbyists coming by hobby club DFWMAS tables at Aquashella and Reef-A-Palooza, while there are VERY active hobbyists and sounds like at least two great LFSs (1 either end - don't know your area so I'm really no help) in San Antonio. It might just take someone saying, hey, let's meet at LFS or someone's home and finally San Antonio gets an active club going. If DFWMAS can assist you in any way, please message me (I volunteer as Secretary, which is considered DFWMAS Board position).

I started tank first then joined, so I'm still finding myself going back collecting pictures & updating historically as well as current state. Once you create your first post in your thread and link it to your account, they will give you build badge (look left, under my ID)
This might help you find people local to you in San Antonio, because I know there are a zillion - some are joining DFWMAS because we do zoom (and we're free for basic membership... but really TX is huge and you aren't really local):
