were is everyone?

[dave2184]

Just as it says is there anyone still in the hobby around here?

I just started back into it and it looks like everyone else has bailed as well.

[Eggs]

I'm on the newer side, but in the Y-town area.

Mike

[dave2184]

Cool!
Mike were abouts you located? Im in Girard up on the Weathersfield side.

BTW ineresting looking tank, any full tank shots?

Anyone else?

[Eggs]

I'm in Canfield. I don't have very good full tank pictures right now. I was thinking about selling the Sohal, and had some extra frags of leather coral is why I had those in the gallery.

[welsher7]

I'm in Hbbard, and I know a guy in Howland that is on here too.

[dave2184]

What up Dan?

I've been tryin to see if we could get something going again with this club. Seems most of the guys got out after I took a break from the hobby for a bit.

Just got back in touch with a budy of mine that lives in Austintown he had a 55 and 90 and was in the process of setting up a 185, but have yet to realy get to BS with him yet.

[CJBDFRAZ]

I live in Girard also and have a 180 sps tank and would like to try to start up the club again

Chris

[dave2184]

Hello Chris,

Nice to see someone in my home town. SPS cool thats what I'm working towards myself. Nothing but a cleanup crew at the moment. Taxes need to hurry up and get here lol!

I don't know mabey a few of us could get together and roll this around and see what we could come up with, even if it's just a handfull of us going at this informal like for awhile till we see how many people we can get involved.

What do the rest of you think?

[welsher7]

that sounds good to me. I would love to be able to talk to some other reefers.

[calypso_mustang]

My husband and I are here in Y-town... We have a 155 bow front with about anythign that grows under PC. We lost touch with about everyone when our shop relocated, and never really had joined any clubs.... Maybe now could be the time.

[deepbluesea99]

good luck guys, i think that ship has sailed.

[Howieytown]

Hi Folks,
I'm in Canfield and I'm still here and I have usually have frags to trade or sell. Now that the weather broke I dont get on here much and during the summer you usually cant see thru the glass on my tank, lol j/k

Professional Aquatics? Closed?


Not sure if they closed or just moved. I know TW is over in Niles now, in the pinetree plaza and I think thats it around here for saltwater.

[Steven Pro]

What is TW?

[dave2184]

TW pet center. The only store I know of in the area that still carries saltwater livestock. There are a couple other stores but they only carry drygoods.

[welsher7]

I picked up a small green birds nest from Dick at TW last week. It was the first time I have seen him have a sps coral.

[dave2184]

Sweet, mabey he'll start getting more in.

[welsher7]

I hope so. It was a good price too, and I didn't have to pay shipping. I'm going today after work to see if he got anything new in this week.

[welsher7]

he has been getting some duncan corals in lately

[sccrcoach]

Hi all...Jeff from Niles here I have a 55 with MH lighting and mostly acans and duncans with one very big toadstool leather...bunch of fish in it also...would be interested in meeting with other reefers in the area...I got two duncans at tw about a month ago and they are doing real well...both were 4 heads and one has 5 babies growing out

[dave2184]

I saw those duncans in there last time I was in but I think they just came in cause they wern't out all the way. I'll check them out again next time I go in and mabey pick one up if they are looking good.

I'm still debating on weather I want just SPS or a mixed reef.

[dave2184]

Mabey some time soon a few of us can get together for an informal BS session / swap. It's always nice to pick other reefers minds on various things.

I have nothing but free time on my hands right now, so I guess I could take the led on the first meet. Let me know if and when you guys/gals would like to get together and I'll see what I can do about hosting the first meet and greet. Might be able to even convince the GF to make lunch or something for us. I'm thinking mabey some time after the 1st of May.

I don't have any frags to swap but might be getting rid of my tunze 6025. Was going to keep it as a back up but someone else might actually use it rather than it just collecting dust in my junk box.

Also If anyone has a tank they need drilled for 1' bulkheads I have the bit to do it and would be happy to lend my services as long as it's fairly nice outside to work.

[deepbluesea99]

just curious how mutch were the duncans at tw pets?

[welsher7]

When i saw the duncans there they were $69-$79 depending on how many heads it had. I still want to pick one up but, I have to wait because I have to pay uncle sam tomorrow.

[deepbluesea99]

i know someone that has them for 15 per head.local if you are intrested.

[welsher7]

Of course I'm interested. Who is it?

[sccrcoach]

Dave....I would be interested in a small meet and greet, just to get to know more reefers in this area...Did professional aquatics really close?

[dave2184]

As far as I know they closed I havn't seen anything that indicates that they moved.

[deepbluesea99]

sccrcoach professional aquatics closed last month there wasent enough intrest in this area for a shop devoted strictly to saltwater.

[sccrcoach]

Thanks Deep

[calypso_mustang]

Rich closed Prof aquatics to work from his basement. He focuses on E-bay now. The user name to look for is: pattyscoral and they have a store on E-bay : pattyscoral-proaquatics. I haven't really been in touch since he moved, I did e-mail him once and it took about 2 weeks to hear back from him.
I am looking fo a place to get hermits and snails I used to get them from him, and there is a place in Cranberry PA called Under the Sea that we frequent, but the drive is a killer now, any info? Thanks.

[sccrcoach]

TW has hermits and snails..FYI

[dave2184]

I got about 10 Zebra hermits from them last week and none of them made it three days unfortunatly.

[neotracer075]

Just got here!
