Hey guys, im new here. I like seeing a reefer club around my neck of the woods.

Now, where are the stores?

I typically go to blue ribbon koi in Catharpin, but want some more options maybe south of me.

What part of Va are you in?
I am in Charlottesville. No good stores here. You need to go to Richmond to Atlantis Aquariums and Fish World. Both are reef spec. stores and are worth seeing. Fish World has a 1500 gal display that is super nice and Atlantis has a huge Del-Tec show tank.

Went into Pet Forum today and it looks like they might finally have someone who knows a little about salt working there, because the tanks looked pretty good. The person responsible was not around.
Also, PSP is going to stop selling salt water supplies and has them marked down 50%.

Thats the breaks of Central Va, you are in the middle of everything, but nothing is close. First think I learned when I moved to Va 8 years ago, embrace the commute. I would have never traveled an hour to work, fish store or anywhere for that matter when I lived it PA. Not that everything was nearby, its just I thought those people were nuts...

Otherwise BRK is my primary store front, but most of my live stock, corals, equipment comes from other members in WAMAS.org

The Wamas looks pretty cool. Maybe here in Central Va in another couple of years. :) I like the RRC as well but they are on that other site. :(

I went by Pet Forum recently and was surprised by all the changes they had made all over the store. The SW section was looking better than usual.

I would love to do some swaps for SPS with members down this way. Do you guys ever have meetings or frag swaps? I would like to meet some reefers down here.

We have had one tank crawl here in C'ville. Hopefully some of the other locals will start to chime back in since summer is almost over. There are some nice tanks in the area. One of the R2R mods lives here too.

I'm here! I live in Charlottesville. My tank has been doing pretty well lately, so I'd be down with another tank crawl. The local C'ville group has kind of lost steam over the past year.

The real local group that we participate in is the Richmond Reef Club on ReefCentral.

We try to not send people to RC. Cause they SUCK. :(
But the RRC is awesome. That's how I met Josh. :)
