Do you belong to a local fish club?

Not right now. The only "local" ones are kinda too far north or south. There's Florida Marine Aquarium Society (FMAS) - Miami/Ft. Lauderdale, Palm Beach Marine Aquarium Society (PBMAS) , Pompano Beach Reef Freaks. Someone should start a PSL club. hint, hint.

Acutally there is a club in Brevard county. www.BrevardAreaReefSociety.com formerly reefers.org. B.A.R.S. has been around in Brevard county for over 5 years and would welcome any new members.

B.A.R.S. may be closer, but it's still not local. Any other PSL reefers out there that want to start a reef club?

how 'bout we make it a treasure coast reef club? Martin county wants to play too :D
I know a guy at a LFS that could help spread the word ;)

Sounds great! Martin Co. is a great location for me. I might be able to get a reefer or two to join. What happens next?

Am I allowed to play??

RicksReefs
06/27/2008, 06:44 PM
everybody's welcome! (ax murderers and child molesters need not apply ;) )

the easiest thing would be to go see the tall bearded dude who manages aquatic world in stuart and give me the contact info there.
or you can shoot me a PM with your real name, email, and maybe phone (?), and if your willing to host one of the monthly meetings.

what's the best day for you guys to have a meeting on? My best day is sunday afternoon after 5pm (at least until football season),or saturday after 7pm.

and even though I work a LFS, I prefer clubs have no store affiliations to keep things on the up and up.

06/27/2008, 07:07 PM
Hey Rick. Didn't know you were the Rick at Aquatic World. I do now.

RicksReefs
06/27/2008, 11:02 PM
yup, that be me.

still wanna join? :D


let me add that I'm just helpin' to get the ball rolling, we can hash out the details and club structure as we roll.

Is Aquatic World on Luckhardt (sp)? And is Rick the guy with the jet black hair?

coraljunky
06/28/2008, 08:12 AM
Aquatic World is in the new plaza next to Pei Wei. Kanner and US1.
Aquatic Life is on Luckhardt

metweezer
06/28/2008, 08:38 AM
OK, I know the place. I met the owner but have never seen Rick.

RicksReefs
06/28/2008, 05:15 PM
ya, the owners the short bearded dude, I'm the taller bearded dude (6'6") and easily noticed. ;)
but the shop is at the S.E. corner of US 1 and monterey, not kanner.
and I believe the black haired dude at aquatic life (ace) has been 'moved on' from there.

I'll start another thread later with 'treasure coast florida reef club" and link it back to this thread to see if we can get a few more hits.

I have spoken to a few others from PSL (from the other site) and I gave them the link to here. They said they were interested in joining. Maybe Rick knows if they tried to PM him.

Hi everyone. I live in Stuart, Florida and am interested in joining a local club. Treasure Coast is perfect for me as well.

I have been a hobbyist of aquariums since I was a kid and for years bred African Cichlids.

I am now getting back into the hobby and decided to try saltwater. No tank yet. Just want to learn all I can about it before I start one.

I'm thinking of doing a 29 gallon as I have limited space, but all ideas are welcome. Is 29 gallon too small?

Anyway, looking forward to hearing from all of you locals.

Later,

Mike

Since there are only a few of us, we should go ahead and decide on a date for a meeting. Almost any evening is good for me (except July 30, 31 lobster mini season).

SaltSolutions1
07/20/2008, 08:44 AM
same here......any weeknight after 7pm but Lobster mini-season.

Any of you locals have tanks that you are not using? I am looking to start up a 55+ reef tank with fish, but don't have a ton of cash to work with. Looking for a local deal if possible. I have been told that in order to breed clowns I need at least a 55 gallon. Is this about right?
